Abstract
The relative adsorption coefficient, a novel parameter was introduced to describe the dominant adsorption ability of ions in cation membrane for all vanadium redox flow battery instead of traditional selectivity coefficient. The parameter as a function of membrane property and vanadium ions in membrane was derived from the relative potential differences in membrane between an isothermal adsorption and an ideal equivalent adsorption. The adsorption isotherms of three kinds of commercial membranes were measured for VO2+/H+ electrolyte system. The results show the reasonable rules that the relative adsorption coefficients increase as the VO2+ contents are increased whereas decrease as the H+ contents are increased in electrolyte.
