[0079] Hereinafter, exemplary aspects of the present invention will be additionally described using examples, but the present invention is not limited by these examples.

[0080] Ionically Conductive Polymer Dispersions

[0081] The ion-conductive polymer dispersions used are as follows.

[0082] Dispersion 1: Perfluorocarbon sulfonate polymer (sulfonic acid equivalent mass 725, described in U.S. Unexamined Patent Application Publication 2006 / 0014887) in ethanol-water (75 / 25 by mass) mixture A dispersion at a solid concentration of 30% by mass in a dispersion solvent.

[0083] Dispersion 2: Perfluorocarbon sulfonate polymer (sulfonic acid equivalent mass of 825, described in U.S. Unexamined Patent Application Publication 2006 / 0014887) in ethanol-water (mass ratio 75 / 25) mixture A dispersion at a solid concentration of 30% by mass in a dispersion solvent.

Embodiment 1 to 10 and comparative example 5 to 9

[0096] For Examples 1 and 8 to 10, Base Film 2 was used, and for Examples 2 to 7, Base Film 1 was used. For Comparative Examples 5 to 6, Base Film 1 was used, and for Comparative Examples 7 to 9, Base Film 2 was used. See Table 1 for the nonwoven fabric used for each sample.

[0097] After electrospinning the specific nonwoven onto the base film (see the corresponding nonwoven and its properties in Table 1 below), the third dispersion was manually coated onto the nonwoven, and the samples were heated at 70°C. Dry for 5 minutes, then dry at 150°C for 10 minutes. Thus, an ion exchange membrane was obtained. The third dispersion used was as follows: Dispersion 5 was used for Examples 1 and 8 to 10, Dispersion 4 was used for Examples 2 to 7, and Dispersion 4 was used for Comparative Examples 5 and 6, and Dispersion 4 was used for Comparative Examples 7 to 6. 9 using dispersion 5.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to ion exchange membranes and methods for producing ion exchange membranes, membrane electrode assemblies and redox flow batteries. Background technique [0002] In general, a redox flow battery includes a positive cell including a positive electrolyte solution and a positive electrode, a negative cell including a negative electrolyte solution and a negative electrode, and an ion exchange membrane arranged to separate the positive and negative cells. Positive and negative electrolyte solutions are supplied from respective tanks to each of the positive and negative cells, and are circulated back to the corresponding slot. In a redox flow battery, the positive electrolyte solution and the negative electrolyte solution may contain the same kind of metal ions. For example, in a vanadium-type redox flow battery, a combination of a positive electrolyte solution and a negative electrolyte solution is used, wherein the positive...
