Fluorine-free polymer membranes for photoelectrolysis and redox flow batteries (SANS-F) – 2024 FGR 0021
Polymer membranes play an important role in many energy storage and conversion systems.
- Fluorine-containing polymers are currently not the ideal systems from a sustainability perspective (PFAS), although they show very good performance in redox flow batteries (RFB), electrolyzers and fuel cells.
- Nafion is still the benchmark material for many applications today. Therefore, within the framework of SANS-F, new fluorine-free membranes for aqueous organic redox flow batteries and for photoelectrochemical cells (PEC) for hydrogen production and oxidation of glycerin are to be investigated.
