TRANSPORT PROPERTY MODULATION VIA SOLVENT SPECIFIC BEHAVIOR IN CROSSLINKED NON-AQUEOUS MEMBRANES

Nonaqueous redox flow batteries are one economically promising solution for meeting grid-scale energy storage needs at discharge durations of 10 h or more. However, membrane transport properties in nonaqueous systems are not as well understood as in water. Solvent-specific effects complicate efforts to understand transport in nonaqueous. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to blended cross-linked membranes compositions, methods of making same, and devices, products, and systems comprising same. In one aspect, the disclosed blended cross-linked membranes compositions comprise a cross-linked first polymer and a second polymer. The disclosed blends have desired permeabilities for selected cations and rejected undesired materials from the redox reaction mixture. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.
