REDOX CELL WITH NON-SELECTIVE PERMIONIC SEPARATOR

摘要

The ohmic losses in a redox cell, composed of a positive electrode inside a flow compartment of a positive halfcell acid electrolytic solution, a negative electrode inside a flow compartment of a negative halfcell acid electrolytic solution and a fluid impermeable membrane composed at least partially of an ion exchange resin separating said flow compartments of the respective halfcell electrolytic solution, may be reduced by using a membrane of mixed characteristics. The ion exchange resin of the membrane includes both a cation exchange resin and anion exchange resin allowing the migration through the membrane of anions as well as of protons (H<+>) of said acid electrolytic solutions.
