US Patent:

20220367897, Nov 17, 2022
Filed:

Mar 4, 2022
Appl. No.:

17/686631
Inventors:

- COLUMBIA SC, US
LAURA MURDOCK - COLUMBIA SC, US
LIHUI WANG - WEST COLUMBIA SC, US
FEI HUANG - WEST COLUMBIA SC, US
ANDREW PINGITORE - COLUMBIA SC, US
International Classification:

H01M 8/1027
H01M 4/92
H01M 4/88
H01M 8/1032
H01M 8/1048
H01M 8/1067
H01M 8/1081
H01M 8/1044
Abstract:

Disclosed are redox flow battery membranes, redox flow batteries incorporating the membranes, and methods of forming the membranes. The membranes include a polybenzimidazole gel membrane that is capable of incorporating a high liquid content without loss of structure that is formed according to a process that includes in situ hydrolysis of a polyphosphoric acid solvent. The membranes are imbibed with a redox flow battery supporting electrolyte such as sulfuric acid and can operate at very high ionic conductivities of about 100 mS/cm or greater. Redox flow batteries incorporating the PBI-based membranes can operate at high current densities of about 100 mA/cmor greater.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

LAURA MURDOCK - COLUMBIA SC, US
LIHUI WANG - WEST COLUMBIA SC, US

ANDREW PINGITORE - COLUMBIA SC, US
International Classification:

H01M 8/18

Abstract:

Disclosed are redox flow battery membranes, redox flow batteries incorporating the membranes, and methods of forming the membranes. The membranes include a densified polybenzimidazole gel membrane that is capable of incorporating a high liquid content without loss of structure that is formed according to a process that includes in situ hydrolysis of a polyphosphoric acid solvent followed by densification of the gel membrane. The densified membranes are then imbibed with a redox flow battery supporting electrolyte such as sulfuric acid and can operate at very high ionic conductivities of about 50 mS/cm or greater and with low permeability of redox couple ions, e.g. vanadium ions, of about 10cm/s or less. Redox flow batteries incorporating the membranes can operate at current densities of about 50 mA/cmor greater.
