Heterogeneous membranes are much cheaper but less selective due to the secondary porosity with large …
As shown in Fig. 8 a, both the NPBI-DMP-200 and NPBI-DBP-200 membranes exhibit high CE over 98 %, very near to the dense NPBI membrane (99 %), indicating that the porous membranes with disconnected pores and dense layers can provide an excellent barrier to the crossover of vanadium ions. Nevertheless, due to the large pores in the NPBI-DOP-200 ...
However, the membrane contained both anion and cation functional groups, leading to the least PWT of just 1 ml for 100 charge-discharge cycles. Thus, the data showed the membrane material had a qualitative effect on the PWT by changing its direction depending on the membrane type. The highest PWT observed refers to the Nafion 115 membrane.

A separator is a permeable membrane placed between a battery''s anode and cathode. The main function of a separator is to keep the two electrodes apart to prevent electrical short circuits while also allowing the transport of ionic charge carriers that are needed to close the circuit during the passage of current in an electrochemical cell.
