6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Ion migration in flow batteries”

Can redox flow battery separators improve ion transport?

Selectively tuning ion transport through redox flow battery separators is a promising approach toward increasing cell capacity, power density, and, ultimately, economic feasibility. However, this process is complex with numerous forces and coupled molecular interactions driving and impacting transport under different operating regimes.

Is water migration a problem during flow batteries operation?

So far, it is clear from the literature that water migration during flow batteries operation is a serious challenge, normally overlooked, that can cause efficiency decay in long-term cycling, and hinder flow batteries from the large-scale deployment.

What is ion transport in flow-battery separators?

A fundamental description of ion transport in flow-battery separators can guide the development of new separators by identifying the nature of ion selectivity under given conditions.

Can flow batteries be commercialized?

This approach, by formulating the electrolytes with the only addition of extra solute ions of the same solution chemistry, to suppress water migration though a cationic membrane while maintaining the classical flow battery format, can positively add a valuable point to the commercialization of the next-generation flow batteries.

What drives ion transport through RFB membranes?

Ion transport through RFB membranes is driven by diffusion, convection, and migration . The diffusive flux is characterized by membrane permeability at zero current . Migration occurs under an applied current that drives active ions in a particular direction, which flow in opposing or allied directions of diffusive flux .

What is the ion migration mechanism in a low surface energy nanochannel?

(c) Low surface energy nanochannel interface (d < 5 nm). Generally, the migration of Zn ions in the electrolyte across the nanochannel involves a dehydration and migration process. The predominant ion migration mechanism in sub-nanochannels is characterized by a 'sites hopping' pattern, 8,13 as shown in Fig. 1b.
