Non-Fluorinated Ion Exchange Membrane
PBI Flow Battery Membrane
Compared to the currently widely used fluorinated proton exchange membranes, PBI (polybenzimidazole) flow battery membranes offer advantages such as the easy synthesis of resin raw materials and lower costs.
和儲新材The ZH Energy PBI flow battery membrane product successfully resolves the previous conflict between oxidative resistance and proton conductivity in non-fluorinated proton exchange membranes, achieving the goal of simultaneously enhancing chemical stability and proton conductivity. Its battery performance have reached the same level as those of fluorinated proton exchange membranes. This product can be applied to various flow battery technologies, including vanadium, iron-chromium, and sulfur-iron systems.
? Excellent ion selectivity, high proton conductivity, and vanadium resistance.
? Thin, strong, low swelling ratio, good dimensional stability, and resistance to electrode puncture.
? High-temperature resistance, oxidative resistance, and good chemical stability.
