The purpose of this study is to synthesize mesoporous silica organic-inorganic complex membranes for vanadium redox flow batteries via sol-gel method dip-coating on porous PVDF membranes. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was utilized for modifying the porous PVDF membranes in order to enhance the bonding between the sol-gel solution and the porous PVDF membranes. A 4 μm thick mesoporous silica coating over the membrane, achieved from dip-coating, resulted in the formation of an organic-inorganic composite membrane which by far improved the proton transport through sulfonic functional groups. The modified mesoporous silica organic-inorganic complex membrane was found to have better selectivity compared to the regular Nafion membranes.
