| Abstract | In this study, a carbon-based polypropylene thermoplastic elastomer (PP-elastomer) composite for current collectors of an all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) was successfully prepared. The volume resistivity of the PP-elastomer composite was 0.47 Ω cm. Its tensile strength and elongation at break were 6.6 MPa and 250%, respectively. In addition, the good flow property in processing means this composite has potential for the mass industrial production of current collectors. The single cell and the cell stack of a VRB equipped with the composite current collectors were assembled for battery tests, including cyclic voltammetry, long-term performance, long-term stability, and oxidation corrosion. To evaluate the stability and the performance of the cell stack under a long-term operating condition, tests with more than 2300 charge–discharge cycles were carried out. The coulombic efficiency (CE) and voltage efficiency (VE) of the cell stack were maintained at around 93% and 80% during 2300 charge–discharge cycles, and energy efficiency (EE) held at around 75%. The results proved that a VRB equipped with composite current collectors has good stability and performance. Furthermore, long-term corrosion tests indicated that the PP-elastomer composite could endure the strong corrosion of pentavalent vanadium and concentrated sulfuric acid. The composite materials prepared in this study are more suitable than other materials for producing the current collectors. The corrosion resistance of composite materials is much better than that of the graphite, and the mechanism is also discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
