A sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (sPEEK) was tested as the separator in a full alkaline flow battery with 2,6-dihydroxyanthraquinone-ferro/ferricyanide, DHAQ-FeCy, redox couples. Cell performance was compared to that of an identical cell utilizing a perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) membrane. Replacement of the PFSA membrane with sPEEK resulted in a 10% power density increase, a 40% decrease in capacity loss per day and an 85-fold decrease in ferricyanide permeation. Though long-term stability of sPEEK in alkaline media requires improvement, these results highlight the potential to produce non-fluorinated membranes with better performance in organic redox flow batteries than the commercially available PFSAs.
