Together with colleagues from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) and BP, have developed an innovative ion-exchange membrane for redox flow batteries.

The new membrane demonstrates a record current density of 500 mA/cm2 and opens up prospects for the creation of efficient and affordable energy storage solutions.

Flow Batteries: Sustainability and Scalability
Redox flow batteries are an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage. They use two solutions to store energy, making them easier to scale up. However, existing membranes that enable ion exchange between the solutions are generally expensive and environmentally hazardous.

New research addresses these issues by developing hydrocarbon chinese overseas america data membranes with improved microporous architecture.

Key advantages of the new technology:
High ionic conductivity without compromising selectivity.
Improved chemical resistance under harsh operating conditions.
Environmentally friendly and lower cost compared to traditional membranes.
Testing of the membranes in real conditions showed a record current density of 500 mA/cm2, which significantly exceeds existing analogues. Currently, the membranes are produced in A4 format. In the future, the researchers plan to scale up production using roll casting developed at DICP.

Batteries with an innovative membrane are capable of providing energy system stability and will be effective in commercial energy storage systems.

Tracker characteristics:

Support for three-phase networks.
Real-time consumption monitoring.
Access to statistics for any period (minutes, hours, days, months, years).
Convenient graphical interface for data analysis.
Optimal time for measurements
To obtain accurate data, it is recommended to take measurements over a period of 7–30 days, depending on the season and the specifics of the enterprise’s work.

Influencing factors: equipment operating intensity, blackouts, sudden load changes.
Recommendations: take into account the power reserve in case of increased consumption in the future.
