  • Perfluorinated membranes and improved electrolytes for redox cells and batteries
    Patent number: 8541138
    Abstract: The present invention describes an improved membrane for Redox Flow Batteries, in particular for Vanadium Redox Batteries and energy storage systems and applications employing the Vanadium Redox Cells and Batteries. Redox Flow Batteries involve the use of two redox couple electrolytes separated by an ion exchange membrane that is the most important cell component.
