| Summary: | Heterogenous ion exchange membranes usually have lower electrochemical
characteristics than homogen structures. However, heterogeneous membranes are easier
to fabricate and have better mechanical strength. In this study, heterogenous cation
exchange membrane made of polypropylene and powdered cation exchange resin
(Amberlite IR A120 Na) was modified with ZnO-Polydopamine (ZnO-PDA) particles.
This study aims at determining effect of ZnO-PDA addition and cation exchange resin
content on membrane characteristics. The membrane characteristics including water
uptake (WU), water contact angle (WCA), ion-exchange capacity (IEC), proton
conductivity, water permeability, and vanadium permeability were analyzed. The results
of the study showed that WU, IEC, proton conductivity, water permeability, and
vanadium permeability incresed with the ion exchange resins content. Meanwhile, the
increasing ion exchange resins content decreased WCA valuee. In general, the
introduction of ZnO-PDA into the membrane matrix leads to the opposite trends. It has
been proved that the addition of ZnO-PDA could successfuly decrease vanadium
permeability (ZnO-PDA 10%-b; 9.2×10-6 cm2/min) and water permeability (ZnO-PDA
10%-b; 0.66 L/m2.h.bar) required in the vanadium redox flow battery.
