In this work, we developed pore-filled ion-exchange membranes (PFIEMs) fabricated for the application to an all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) by filling a hydrocarbon-based ionomer containing a fluorine moiety into the pores of a porous polyethylene (PE) substrate having excellent physical and chemical stabilities. The prepared PFIEMs were shown to possess superior tensile strength (i.e., 136.6 MPa for anion-exchange membrane; 129.9 MPa for cation-exchange membrane) and lower electrical resistance compared with commercial membranes by employing a thin porous PE substrate as a reinforcing material. In addition, by introducing a fluorine moiety into the filling ionomer along with the use of the porous PE substrate, the oxidation stability of the PFIEMs could be greatly improved, and the permeability of vanadium ions could also be significantly reduced. As a result of the evaluation of the charge–discharge performance in the VRFB, it was revealed that the higher the fluorine content in the PFIEMs was, the higher the current efficiency was. Moreover, the voltage efficiency of the PFIEMs was shown to be higher than those of the commercial membranes due to the lower electrical resistance. Consequently, both of the pore-filled anion- and cation-exchange membranes showed superior charge–discharge performances in the VRFB compared with those of hydrocarbon-based commercial membranes.

Poly (phthalazinone ether ketone) anion exchange membranes with pyridinium groups (PyPPEK) for vanadium redox flow battery were prepared from chloromethylated poly (phthalazinone ether ketone) and pyridine. The chemical structure of PyPPEK was characterized by using FT-IR spectrum. Compared with quaternary ammonium group containing poly (phthalazinone ether ketone), PyPPEK membrane showed low ion exchange capacity, low swelling ratio and comparable tensile strength. Columbic efficiencies of VRB with anion exchange membranes were higher than that of VRB with Nafion117 membrane. When the ion exchange capacity of PyPPEK membrane was 1.40 mmol·g-1, energy efficiency of VRB with the membrane was higher than that of VRB with Nafion117 membrane at charge-discharge current densities ranging from 20 mA·cm-2 to 50 mA·cm-2.
