Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China have designed a new type of ion conduction membrane. This ion membrane is expected to be widely used in energy conversion, large-scale energy storage, and distributed generation.

The advent of this domestic ion membrane will break the technical monopoly of foreign products of the same type for many years, Professor Xu Tongwen says. Professor Tongwen: We can combine this type of flow battery energy storage technology with our power grid for household electricity and industrial production.
