Abstract

Advanced charged membranes with highly symmetric spongy structures were specially designed for vanadium flow batteries (VFBs). These membranes are formed with a unique stack of closed cells consisting of positively charged ultrathin walls and combine excellent V ion rejection with high proton conductivity. They achieve impressive VFB performance in a wide operation current density range, further promoting the development of much needed energy storage.
