Embodiment 1

[0040]Dissolve 84g of polyethersulfone and 21g of polyvinylpyrrolidone in 195g of DMAc, stir mechanically for 24 hours to form a homogeneous polymer solution, let stand at 20°C for 2 hours to remove air bubbles in the solution, and evenly coat the casting solution on the crystal Dried glass plates were immersed in non-solvent water. Since the solubility of polyethersulfone in DMAc is much greater than that in water, water and DMAc will exchange with each other, and polyethersulfone will change from a gel state to a solid state. At the same time, the hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone is dissolved in water to obtain a membrane with a porous structure. From figure 2 a It can be seen that the porous ion-conducting membrane prepared by the phase transition method has a typical asymmetric porous structure, and the cross-sectional morphology of the prepared membrane is as follows figure 2 As shown in a-b (the film thickness is about 115μm, the pore size is 2.21nm, from figure 2 ...

Embodiment 2

[0046] Dissolve 73.5g of polyethersulfone and 31.5g of polyvinylpyrrolidone in 195g of DMAc, stir mechanically for 24 hours to form a uniform polymer solution, let it stand at 30°C for 2 hours to remove air bubbles in the solution, and evenly coat the casting solution Cover on crystal-dried glass plates and immerse in non-solvent water. Since the solubility of polyethersulfone in DMAc is much greater than that in water, water and DMAc will exchange with each other, and polyethersulfone will change from a gel state to a solid state. At the same time, the hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone is dissolved in water to obtain a membrane with a porous structure. Soak the prepared film in isopropanol for about 35 minutes, place it at room temperature to volatilize the isopropanol for 24 hours, and then soak it in water for more than 2 hours for use.

Embodiment 3

[0049] Dissolve 78.75g of polyethersulfone and 26.25g of polyvinylpyrrolidone in 195g of DMAc, stir mechanically for 24 hours to form a homogeneous polymer solution, let stand at 25°C for 2 hours to remove air bubbles in the solution, and evenly coat the casting solution Cover on crystal-dried glass plates and immerse in non-solvent water. The solvent and non-solvent exchange each other to obtain a membrane with a porous structure. Soak the prepared film in isopropanol for about 35 minutes, place it at room temperature to let the isopropanol evaporate for 24 hours, and soak it in water for more than 2 hours after the solvent evaporates.

[0050] The solvent-treated membrane (thickness of about 115μm, pore size of 1.30nm, asymmetric porous structure) is assembled into an all-vanadium redox flow battery, in which the catalytic layer is activated carbon felt, the bipolar plate is a graphite plate, and the effective area of ​​the membrane is 48cm 2 , with a current density of 80m...

Abstract

The invention relates to a solvent processing method for a polymer porous ion conducting membrane for a flow battery; a polymer porous ion conducting membrane is placed in a processing solvent and soaked for 20 min or more, and then the film is placed at the temperature of 10-50 DEG C to make the solvent volatilized for 10 h or more; the polymer porous ion conducting membrane is prepared by one or two or more of organic polymer resins containing no ion exchange groups and used as raw materials. The porous ion conducting membrane after solvent processing has smaller pore size and also has high hole connectivity before processing, therefore, the porous ion conducting membrane has high ionic selectivity and proton conductivity as well as excellent oxidation stability. An all-vanadium flow battery assembled by the polymer porous ion conducting membrane has good cycle life and good battery efficiency.
