Membrane roles in energy purification, storage, and conversion The membrane technique is deemed an advanced and sustainable method, providing vital strategies, which include membrane separation and battery separators, to promote further development of new energy sources from production to utilization.
The current energy crisis has prompted the development of new energy sources and energy storage/conversion devices. Membranes, as the key component, not only provide enormous separation potential for energy purification but also guarantee stable and high-efficiency operation for rechargeable batteries and fuel cells.
The realization of electric energy storage and release in VFBs is ensured by the reversible redox reactions between V 2+ /V 3+ in the positive electrolyte and VO 2+ /VO 2+ in the negative electrolyte. The membranes with high vanadium ion/proton selectivity are the key to prevent capacity loss and guarantee safe operation for VFB .
In addition, it is worth noting that membranes are essential components playing vital roles in rechargeable batteries. Electrochemical energy storage and conversion is the direct strategy for new energy sources such as hydrogen and biofuel from production to utilization.
