We report amphoteric polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes with tailored nanoporous
structures for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). The amphoteric nanoporous
membrane has restricted the crossover of vanadium species and instantaneously allowed
for the transport of protons owing to the positively charged polybenzimidazolium polymer
backbone. The selected membrane shows a proton/vanadium (H/V) selectivity of about 133,

We report amphoteric polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes with tailored nanoporous structures for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). The amphoteric nanoporous membrane has restricted the crossover of vanadium species and instantaneously allowed for the transport of protons owing to the positively charged polybenzimidazolium polymer backbone. The selected membrane shows a proton/vanadium (H/V) selectivity of about 133, which is considerably higher than those stated in previous reports. This reflects its high coulombic efficiency of 99.4%, energy efficiency of 78.2%, and low capacity decay rate of 0.27% per cycle when compared to 93.0%, 78.9%, and 0.58% per cycle of Nafion-117, respectively.
