TL;DR: In this article, an advanced charged membrane with highly symmetric spongy structures was designed for vanadium flow batteries (VFBs), which achieved impressive performance in a wide operation current density range, further promoting the development of much needed energy storage.

TL;DR: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membranes were investigated for the first time in vanadium redox flow battery (VFB) applications as discussed by the authors, and the results showed that the PVDF membranes offered good performances and excellent stability in VFB applications, where it could, performance-wise, truly substitute Nafion in VNF applications, but at a much lower cost.

TL;DR: In this article, the morphology of PES membranes is adjusted via introducing hydrophilic poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) in PES cast solutions and the effect of PVP (content, molecular weight) on the membranes morphology as well as their performance in VFB is studied in detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel in situ growth method is demonstrated for the synthesis of continuous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on top of membranes via electrochemically assisted interfacial growth.

TL;DR: In this article, crosslinkable sulfonated poly (diallyl-bisphenol ether ketone) (SDPEEK) membranes with different degrees of sulfonation (DS) were prepared and first investigated in vanadium redox flow battery (VFB) application.
