In an aspect, the membrane structure may be described as a standalone redox flow system. In this regard macro porous support scaffold, one may be filled with an anolyte and the conformally deposited electrode can be lithium. Thus, macro porous support scaffold two may be filled with a catholyte with the respective electrode materials can be conformally deposited. Vice versa, macro porous support scaffold one may be filled with a catholyte and macro porous support scaffold two may be filled with an anolyte with the respective electrode conformally deposited.
All the corresponding ions may be replaced with other alkaline metal ions, such as Na and K and the solid-state electrolyte can be replaced with the corresponding alkaline metal ion solid state electrolyte. For vanadium redox flow batteries, the membrane can be replaced with corresponding proton membranes.
Although various embodiments of the disclosed method for manufacturing a solid state ionic conductive membrane have been shown and described, modifications may occur to those skilled in the art upon reading the specification. The present application includes such modifications and is limited only by the scope of the claims.
