Abstract

The permeability of four commercially available ion-exchange membranes, the cationic Nafion 125 (duPont) and Selemion CMV (Asahi Glass) membranes and the anionic Selemion AMV and DMV membranes, to vanadyl, VO2+, and vanadic, VO 2 + , ions was studied. The results show that two important variables determine the usefulness of a membrane as a membrane separator in a redox cell. These are selectivity and membrane-electrolyte resistance. Only the DMV membrane was considered to meet the requirements of low permeability to vanadium cations and at the same time permitting H+ ions to go through the membrane, thereby providing a very low membrane-electrolyte resistance in the redox fuel cell.
