US Patent:
20120119410, May 17, 2012
Filed:
Apr 20, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/091122
Inventors:
Yushan YAN - Riverside CA, US
Shuang GU - Riverside CA, US
Feng WANG - Croton-on-Hudson NY, US
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
B29D 7/01
US Classification:
264216
Abstract:
A family of functionalized polymers is provided capable of forming membranes having exceptional OH ionic conductivity as well as advantageous mechanical properties, which may be applied to membranes including such polymers for use in, e.g., AEMFC/HEMFC fuel cells. Preferred functional groups include a quaternary phosphonium, and the polymer may specifically be (tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl) phosphine)functionalized phosphonium polysulfone hydroxide, ECL-PVBC-QPOH, or QPOH based on any of the commercial polumers including polycarbonate (PC), poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO), polyetherimine (PEI), poly(ether sulfone) (PES), poly(phenylene sulfoxide) PPS, poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK), or polybenzimidazole (PBI), polyvinyl chloride (PVC). An ionomer membrane may include polysulfone based TPQPOH, ECL-PVBC-QPOH, and/or PPO.

Double-Membrane Triple-Electrolyte Redox Flow Battery Design

View page
US Patent:
20140004402, Jan 2, 2014
Filed:
Jun 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/918444
Inventors:
Shuang Gu - Newark DE, US
Ke Gong - Newark DE, US
Assignee:
University of Delaware - Newark DE
International Classification:
H01M 8/20
US Classification:
429105
Abstract:
A novel design has been invented for redox flow batteries. Different from the single-membrane, double-electrolyte redox flow battery as a basic structure, the design of the present invention involves double-membrane (one cation exchange membrane and one anion exchange membrane), triple-electrolyte (one electrolyte in contact with the negative electrode, one electrolyte in contact with the positive electrode, and one electrolyte positioned between and in contact with the two membranes) as the basic characteristic. The cation exchange membrane is used to separate the negative or positive electrolyte and the middle electrolyte, and the anion exchange membrane is used to separate the middle electrolyte and the positive or negative electrolyte. This particular design physically isolates, but ionically connects, the negative electrolyte and positive electrolyte. The physical isolation offers a great freedom in choosing redox pairs in the negative electrolyte and positive electrolyte, making high voltage of redox flow batteries possible. The ionic conduction not only makes the design functional, but also drastically reduces the overall ionic crossover between negative electrolyte and positive one, leading to high columbic efficiency.

Multiple-Membrane Multiple-Electrolyte Redox Flow Battery Design

US Patent:
20140004403, Jan 2, 2014
Filed:
Jun 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/918452
Inventors:
Shuang GU - Newark DE, US
Ke GONG - Newark DE, US
Assignee:
University of Delaware - Newark DE
International Classification:
H01M 8/20
US Classification:
429107, 429105, 296231
Abstract:
A redox flow battery is provided. The redox flow battery involves multiple-membrane (at least one cation exchange membrane and at least one anion exchange membrane), multiple-electrolyte (one electrolyte in contact with the negative electrode, one electrolyte in contact with the positive electrode, and at least one electrolyte disposed between the two membranes) as the basic characteristic, such as a double-membrane, triple electrolyte (DMTE) configuration or a triple-membrane, quadruple electrolyte (TMQE) configuration. The cation exchange membrane is used to separate the negative or positive electrolyte and the middle electrolyte, and the anion exchange membrane is used to separate the middle electrolyte and the positive or negative electrolyte.
