| Summary: | In vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), the active area for charge-discharge plays an important role on the optimization of the system. In this work, the optimum flow rate and current density of Nafion 117 membranes were examined and compared using 5cm2 and 25cm2 size of interdigitated flow field to operate VRFB at maximum efficiencies and discharge capacity. During discharge, flow field 25cm2 showed the highest discharge capacity of 367.5mAh at 10mAcm-2 as compared to 5cm2 flow filed which gave 221.9mAh. For battery efficiencies, three different parameters showed significant effects on different size of interdigitated flow field. 25 cm2 size of interdigitated flow field gave higher efficiencies than 5.0 cm2 up to 98%. This research offers fundamental understandings that bigger active area is needed to fully utilize the performance of VRFB. |
