Abstract: A low cost, high selectivity asymmetric polyimide/polyethersulfone (PES) blend hollow fiber membrane, a method of making the membrane and its use for a variety of liquid, gas, and vapor separations such as deep desulfurization of gasoline and diesel fuels, ethanol/water separations, pervaporation dehydration of aqueous/organic mixtures, CO2/CH4, CO2/N2, H2/CH4, He/CH4, O2/N2, H2S/CH4, olefin/paraffin, iso/normal paraffins separations, and other light gas mixture separations. The polyimide/PES blend hollow fiber membrane is fabricated from a blend of a polyimide polymer and PES and showed surprisingly unique gas separation property with higher selectivities than either the polyimide hollow fiber membrane without PES polymer or the PES hollow fiber membrane without PES polymer for gas separations such as for H2/CH4, He/CH4, H2S/CH4, CO2/CH4 separations.

Abstract: Catalyst ink formulas for the preparation of CCMs are described. The catalyst ink formulas comprise a catalyst, an ionomer, a solvent, and a porogen soluble in the solvent. The catalyst ink formula may also comprise an additive, such as an electron conductive polymer. The anode catalyst coating layer or both the anode and the cathode catalyst coating layers prepared from the catalyst ink formula comprises uniformly distributed nanopores that allow easy gas removal and uniform water feed distribution, which will avoid or reduce the direct energy losses for the electrolyzers. Catalyst coated membranes and methods of making a catalyst coated membranes are also described.

Abstract: Methods to improve redox flow battery performance with improved CE, reduced electrolyte solution crossover, and simplified solution refreshing process have been developed. The methods include controlling the pre-charging degree and conditions to allow high quality metal plating (ductile and uniform), for example, Fe(O), on the negative electrode. Control of the pre-charging conditions can be combined with increasing the concentration of metal ions compared to existing systems, while maintaining the same concentration in both the negative and positive electrolytes, or increasing the concentration of metal ions in the negative electrolyte so that the negative electrolyte has a higher concentration of metal ions than the positive electrolyte.

Abstract: A porous ion-permeable separator membrane with an asymmetric pore structure in which the top of the membrane (the side opposite the porous substrate) has smaller pores than the pores in the rest of the polymer coating (i.e., closer to the porous substrate) is described. The porous ion-permeable asymmetric composite membrane comprises polymers, inorganic particles, and a porous substrate which is stable at a pH of 8 or higher.

Abstract: Stable and high performance positive and negative electrolytes compositions to be used in redox flow battery systems are described. The redox flow battery system, comprises: at least one rechargeable cell comprising a positive electrolyte, a negative electrolyte, and an ionically conductive membrane positioned between the positive electrolyte and the negative electrolyte, the positive electrolyte in contact with a positive electrode, and the negative electrolyte in contact with a negative electrode. The positive electrolyte consists essentially of water, a first amino acid, an inorganic acid, an iron precursor, a supporting electrolyte, and optionally a boric acid. The negative electrolyte consists essentially of water, the iron precursor, the supporting electrolyte, and a negative electrolyte additive. The iron precursor is FeCl2, FeCl3, FeSO4, Fe2(SO4)3, FeO, Fe, Fe2O3, or combinations thereof. The supporting electrolyte is LiCl, NaCl, Na2SO4, KCl, NH4Cl, or combinations thereof. The negative electrolyte additive is boric acid or a combination of the boric acid and a second amino acid.

Abstract: Anion exchange polymers having high OH− conductivity, chemical stability, and mechanical stability have been developed for use in AEMs. The anion exchange polymers have stable hydrophobic polymer backbones, stable hydrophilic quaternary ammonium cationic groups, and hydrophilic phenolic hydroxyl groups on the polymer side chains. The polymers have polymer backbones free of ether bonds, hydrophilic polymer side chains, and piperidinium ion-conducting functionality, which enables efficient and stable operation in water or CO2 electrolysis, redox flow battery, and fuel cell applications. The polymer comprises a plurality of repeating units of formula (I) Anion exchange membranes and membrane electrode assemblies incorporating the anion exchange polymers are also described.

Abstract: Anion exchange polymers comprise a plurality of repeating units of formula (I). The polymer may be synthesized from a super acid catalyzed polyhydroxyalkylation reaction of monomers Ar1′ and X1′ to form a neutral precursor polymer followed by a Menshutkin reaction to convert the neutral precursor polymer to the anion exchange polymer with halide-based counterions, and then an ion exchange reaction to covert the anion exchange polymer with halide-based counterions to acetate (CH3COO−), trifluoroacetate (CF3COO−), propionate (CH3CH2COO−), or butanoate anion (CH3CH2CH2COO−) counterions.
Anion exchange membranes and membrane electrode assemblies incorporating the anion exchange polymers are also described.-
