Membrane Based on 2D Nanohybrid Materials can Improve Performance of Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries

The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is a potential sustainable energy storage system. The ion-exchange membrane (IEM) used in a VRFB cell avoids a cathode or anode short circuit and prevents electrolyte crossover and side reactions. The membrane enables proton conduction to maintain the cell electrically neutral.
