Sustainable paper based cellulose nano-crystal (CNC) impregnated flexible ion exchange membrane (IEM) for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs)
Cellulosic paper is now considered as one of the most sustainable, abundant, low-cost, and flexible substrates that offers plenty of room to fabricate application-specific devices such as transistors, sensors, antennas, thermo-electrics, batteries, etc. Here, we demonstrate a facile industry-friendly approach to fabricate a flexible paper-based proton conducting membrane by impregnating cellulose nano-crystals (CNC) in a paper matrix with the help of polymeric binder poly vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoro propylene (PVDF-HFP) for application in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs). The synergy between hydrophilic (CNC) and hydrophobic (PVDF-HFP) phases was found to facilitate water uptake capabilities (37% - 48%), enhance mechanical tension (40–52 MPa), demonstrate effective protonic conductivity (∼10–3Scm-1), thermal stability (<300 °C) and chemical stability (in 3 M H2SO4) of the developed membrane. A double-decker fabrication machine was also assigned to obtain flexi-IEM in roll form. The physicochemical properties of the ion exchange membrane (IEM) are estimated in detail and duly compared with the commercially available membrane (Nafion).
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
