Abstract
바나듐 레독스 흐름전지 격막으로 사용하기 위하여, 양이온 교환멤브레인을 원자이동 라디칼 그래프트 중합법으로 합성하였다. 구체적으로 양이온 교환 멤브레인의 주쇄사슬로써 범용플라스틱인 poly(vinyl chloride)를 사용하였다. 여기에 술폰산기(-SO3Na)를 갖은 4-styrene sulfonate를 원자이동 라디칼 그래프트 중합시킴으로서 poly(vinyl chloride)-g-poly(styrene sulfonate), 약칭 PVC-g-PSS, 합성한 후, 핸디 캐스팅하여 양이온 교환 멤브레인을 제작하였다. 제조된 양이온 교환 멤브레인에 대하여 물 흡착률과 팽창률, 이온 전도도, 이온 교환 용량, 바나듐 투과도, 인장강도를 측정 평가되었다. 또한, 제조된 양이온 교환 멤브레인의 직접 바나듐 레독스 흐름 전지에 적용하여 1,000회 충전 및 방전시킴으로써 이온-교환 막으로써의 안정성이 평가하였다. 이 결과 제조된 PVC-g-PSS 양이온 교환 멤브레인의 경우 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지에 사용할 수 있다.
In order to use vanadium redox flow battery separator, we synthesized a cation exchange membrane by atom transfer radical graft polymerization. Poly(vinyl chloride) which is known as a general plastic materials, was used as the main chain polymer of the cation exchange membrane. The poly(vinyl chloride) is grafted by atom transfer radical graft polymerization of 4-styrene sulfonate with sulfonate group (-SO3Na) to give poly(vinyl chloride)-g-poly(styrene sulfonate), PVC-g-PSS. The cation exchange membrane was fabricated by hand casting of the solution after dissolving N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone of PVC-g-PSS. The obtained cation exchange membranes were characterized by water adsorption ratio, expansion ratio, ion conductivity, ion exchange capacity, vanadium permeability, and tensile strength for using separator of vanadium redox flow battery. The vanadium redox flow battery system with PVC-g-PSS separator during charging and discharging with 1,000 cycles had very higher stability. From these results, the synthesized cation exchange membrane could be used as separator in vanadium redox flow battery system.
