Nafion/Analcime and Nafion/Faujasite composite membranes for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
The Nafion/zeolite composite membranes were synthesized for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEMFCs) by adding zeolite in the matrix of Nafion polymer. Two kinds of zeolites, Analcime and Faujasite, having different Si/Al ratio were used. The physico-chemical properties of the composite membranes such as water uptake, ion-exchange capacity, hydrogen permeability, and proton conductivity were determined. The fabricated composite membranes showed the significant improvement of all tested properties compared to that of pure Nafion membrane. The maximum proton conductivity of 0.4373 S cm−1 was obtained from Nafion/Analcime (15%) at 80 °C which was 6.8 times of pure Nafion (0.0642 S cm−1 at 80 °C). Conclusively, Analcime exhibited higher improvement than Faujasite. 相似文献

Carbon nanohorns (CNHs) are synthesized by DC arc-discharge method in helium atmosphere. The synthesized CNHs are heat treated and then functionalized with Nafion. Platinum is reduced onto Nafion functionalized CNHs through ethylene glycol reduction method. Pt/Nafion-CNHs catalysts are prepared by varying deposition times from 1 to 7 h. Detailed characterization of CNHs and the catalyst is performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). Membrane electrode assemblies are prepared by decal method and electrode performance is analyzed using hydrogen pumping technique. SEM and TGA analysis of soot indicates relatively high level purity of CNHs. TEM and XRD analysis of catalyst with 6 h deposition time reveals that Pt nanoparticles are uniformly deposited on multiwall CNHs surface with particle size of 3–4 nm. Hydrogen pumping studies reveals that Nafion functionalized CNHs act as good catalyst support without hindering electron transfer at electrodes. Hence, these graphitic carbon supports have potential application for high power density applications. 相似文献

Solution blown sulfonated poly(ether sulfone)/poly(ether sulfone) nanofiber‐Nafion composite membranes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells 下载免费PDF全文
A composite membrane of sulfonated poly(ether sulfone) (SPES)/poly(ether sulfone) (PES) nanofiber (NF) mat impregnated with Nafion was prepared and evaluated for its potential use as a proton conductor for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The supporting composite nanofibrous mat was prepared by solution blowing of a mixture of SPES/PES solution. The characteristics of the SPES/PES NF and the composite membrane, such as morphology, thermal stability, and performance of membrane as PEMs, were investigated. The performance of composite membranes was compared with that of Nafion117. The introduction of solution blown NFs to composite membranes modestly improved proton conductivity, water swelling, and methanol permeability. Therefore, composite membrane containing SPES/PES NFs can be considered as a novel PEM for fuel cell applications. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132, 42572. 相似文献

A porous poly(tetrafluoro ethylene) (PTFE) thin film (thickness 16 ± 2 μm) is used as a supporting material for polybenzimidazole
(PBI) to prepare the PBI/PTFE composite membrane (thickness 38 ± 2 μm). The perfluorosulfonic acid resin (Nafion) is used
as a coupling agent at the interface between PTFE and PBI to improve the bonding between PBI and PTFE. The composite membrane,
after doping with phosphoric acid, is used to prepare membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). A 450 h continuous fuel cell life
test at 160 °C with a fixed current density i = 200 mA cm−2 and a 20 cycles cell on/off test, in which the fuel cell is operated at 160 °C with i = 200 mA cm−2 for 12 h and then switched off at room temperature in an ambient environment for 12 h per cycle, are performed. Both tests
show good fuel cell performances. 相似文献

An inorganic/organic self-humidifying composite membranes for proton exchange membrane fuel cell application 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
With an aim to operate the proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) with dry reactants, an inorganic/organic self-humidifying membrane based on sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) hybrid with Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 supported Pt catalyst (Pt-Cs2.5 catalyst) has been investigated. The Pt-Cs2.5 catalysts incorporated in the SPEEK matrix provide the site for catalytic recombination of permeable H2 and O2 to form water, and meanwhile avoid short circuit through the whole membrane due to the insulated property of Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 support. Furthermore, the Pt-Cs2.5 catalyst can adsorb the water and transfer proton inside the membrane for its hygroscopic and proton-conductive properties. The structure of the SPEEK/Pt-Cs2.5 composite membrane was characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and EDS. Comparison of the physicochemical and electrochemical properties, such as ion exchange capacity (IEC), water uptake and proton conductivity between the plain SPEEK and SPEEK/Pt-Cs2.5 composite membrane were investigated. Additive stability measurements indicated that the Pt-Cs2.5 catalyst showed improved stability in the SPEEK matrix compared to the PTA particle in the SPEEK matrix. Single cell tests employing the SPEEK/Pt-Cs2.5 self-humidifying membrane and the plain SPEEK membrane under wet or dry operation conditions and primary 100 h fuel cell stability measurement were also conducted in the present study. 相似文献

SPEEK polymer based thermally crosslinked polymer membranes are prepared by sol-gel synthesis using kaolinite and sepiolite clays as additives. Characterization tests, ie, mechanical stability, thermal gravimetric analysis, ion exchange capability, swelling properties, water uptake capacities, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis of the membranes were conducted. The sepiolite and kaolinite addition enhanced the thermal stability and the thermal crosslinking reduced the swelling capacity of the synthesized membranes. Proton conductivity results were increased from 0.172 to 0.268 S cm−1 by adding 9% of kaolinite, and to 0.329 S cm−1 at 80°C by adding 9% of sepiolite to the SPEEK membrane's polymer structure. The fuel cell current density and potential measurements of 141 mA cm−2 and 84.6 mW cm−2 were found respectively at 0.6 V for the SPEEK/S9 membrane, whereas values of 600 mA cm−2 and 348 mW cm−2 were found for the Nafion commercial membrane. 相似文献

Sulfonated carbon spheres (SCS) were employed with perfluorinated ionomers as a binder to make proton-conducting electrolyte membranes for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Hot-pressing produced a symmetric, thin membrane with SCS particles concentrated in the center of the membrane. Relative to Nafion, the SCS materials showed higher density of sulfonic acid groups and increased water retention capacity of the membrane. This is the favorable condition for effective back diffusion of water from cathode preventing dehydration of membrane. As a result, the SCS membrane showed much better performance in single cell PEMFC operation than Nafion membrane. The membrane also showed much improved tolerance to chemical degradation by oxygen radical species. 相似文献

AB‐type polyphenylquinoxaline (ABPPQ) membranes exhibit great mechanical properties and thermal properties for high‐temperature proton exchange membranes (PEMs). However, they dissolve in high‐concentration phosphoric acid (PA) during acid doping. In order to improve the PA resistant of ABPPQ, crosslinked ABPPQ membranes were prepared using sulfuric acid. The crosslinked ABPPQ membranes showed high PA resistance. The acid content of PA‐doped membranes decreased slightly with crosslinking, but the crosslinked polyphenylquinoxaline (CPPQ)‐20 membrane could reach 2.5 × 10?2 S/cm proton conductivity at 160°C. Membrane electrode assemblies were fabricated with an active area of 4 cm2 and Pt loading of 1 mg/cm2. A startup and shutdown test (operated at 150°C with 0.2 A/cm2 for 12 h and then 12 h off at room temperature) and a 30‐day long‐term durability test (150°C with 0.2 A/cm2) were conducted. In the startup and shutdown test, the crosslinked membranes showed a low open‐circuit voltage decay rate of 0.15 mV/h. In the 30‐day long‐term durability test, the voltage decay rate was 0.039 mV/h. In both tests, the crosslinked membranes showed a stable performance. Therefore, the crosslinked ABPPQ membranes can be regarded as a novel material for high‐temperature PEM fuel cells. POLYM. ENG.

This review summarizes efforts in developing sulfonated hydrocarbon proton exchange membranes (PEMs) with excellent long-term electrochemical fuel cell performance in medium-temperature and/or low-humidity proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) applications. Sulfonated hydrocarbon PEMs are alternatives to commercially available perfluorosulfonic acid ionomers (PFSA, e.g., Nafion®) that inevitably lose proton conductivity when exposed to harsh operating conditions. Over the past few decades, a variety of approaches have been suggested to optimize polymer architectures and define post-synthesis treatments in order to further improve the properties of a specific material. Strategies for copolymer syntheses are summarized and future challenges are identified. Research pertaining to the sulfonation process, which is carried out in the initial hydrocarbon PEM fabrication stages, is first introduced. Recent synthetic approaches are then presented, focusing on the polymer design to enhance PEM performance, such as high proton conductivity even with a low ion exchange capacity (IEC) and high dimensional stability. Polymer chemistry methods for the physico-chemical tuning of sulfonated PEMs are also discussed within the framework of maximizing the electrochemical performance of copolymers in membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs). The discussion will cover crosslinking, surface fluorination, thermal annealing, and organic–inorganic nanocomposite approaches. 相似文献

Acidic and neutral Nafion® 115 perfluorosulphonate membranes have been modified by in situ polymerization of pyrrole using Fe(III) and H2O2 as oxidizing agents, in order to decrease methanol crossover in direct methanol fuel cells. Improved selectivities for proton over methanol transport and improved fuel cell performances were only obtained with membranes that were modified while in the acid form. Use of Fe(III) as the oxidizing agent can produce a large decrease in methanol crossover, but causes polypyrrole deposition on the surface of the membrane. This increases the resistance of the membrane, and leads to poor fuel cell performances due to poor bonding with the electrodes. Surface polypyrrole deposition can be minimized, and surface polypyrrole can be removed, by using H2O2. The use of Nafion in its tetrabutylammonium form leads to very low methanol permeabilities, and appears to offer potential for manipulating the location of polypyrrole within the Nafion structure. 相似文献

To improve water management and enhance the catalyst utilization of the cathode catalyst layer of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, the effects of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) addition in the catalyst ink and the loading pattern of the catalyst layer were investigated. Two types of catalyst ink were used: a typical one without PTFE (Pt on carbon support + Nafion) and another type added with PTFE (Pt on carbon support + Nafion + PTFE). In exploring the effect of PTFE addition into the conventional full loading pattern of catalyst layer, the presence of 10% PTFE in the catalyst layer improved the cell performance (34% increase of maximum power density) and the optimum Pt loading for the PTFE-added catalyst layer was 0.25 mg/cm2. Two catalyst layer loading patterns created in this work were the strip and chess patterns. Each pattern consists of equal areas of several hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments. The hydrophilic segments were formed by using the ink with PTFE while the hydrophilic had no PTFE. For the catalyst loading pattern effect, the cell achieved the highest performance with the chess pattern, followed by the strip and full loading pattern for the case of 0.5 mg/cm2 Pt loading having a thick catalyst layer of 50-μm thickness. On the other hand, for the case of 0.25 mg/cm2 Pt loading forming a thin catalyst layer of ~30-μm thickness, the catalyst loading pattern had no effect on the cell’s performance. 相似文献

This article reviews recent studies on proton exchange membrane (PEM) materials for polymer electrolyte fuel cells. In particular, it focuses on the development of novel sulfonated aromatic hydrocarbon polymers for PEMs as alternatives to conventional perfluorinated polymers. It is necessary to improve proton conductivity especially under low-humidity conditions at high operating temperatures to breakthrough the current aromatic PEM system. Capable strategies involve the formation of well-connected proton channels by microphase separation between hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains and the increase of the ion exchange capacity of PEMs while keeping water resistance. Herein, we introduce novel molecular designs of sulfonated aromatic hydrocarbon polymers and their performance as PEMs. 相似文献

Composite membranes for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) were prepared by using Nafion115 membrane modification with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyimide (PI) and 8-trimethoxysilylpropyl glycerin ether-1,3,6-pyrenetrisulfonic acid (TSPS). The performance of the composite membranes was evaluated in terms of water sorption, dimensional stability, thermal stability, proton conductivity, methanol permeability and cell performance. The proton conductivity was slightly decreased by 1-3% compared with Nafion115, which still kept the high proton conduction of Nafion115. The methanol permeability of Nafion/PI-PVA-TSPS composite membranes was remarkably reduced by 35-55% compared with Nafion115. The power density of DMFCs with Nafion/PI-PVA-TSPS composite membranes reached to 100 mW/cm2, exceeding that with Nafion115 (68m W/cm2). 相似文献

Pt electrocatalysts in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) containing phosphoric acid (PA)-doped polymer membranes are prone to poisoning by leaked PA. We performed a preliminary density functional theory (DFT) study to investigate the relationship between the electronic structure of Pt surfaces and their adsorption of PA. Excess charge on Pt was found to weaken its bonding with the oxygen in PA, thus presenting a strategy for the fabrication of PA-resistant catalyst materials. Consequently, PtCu-alloy catalysts with various compositions were prepared by electrodeposition. The morphologies and crystalline structures of the alloys were strongly dependent on alloy composition. Moreover, the Pt atoms in the PtCu-alloy catalysts were found to be in an electron-rich state, similar to that of the excessively charged Pt simulated in the DFT study. As a result, the oxygen reduction reaction activities of the PtCu-alloy catalysts were superior to that of a Pt-only catalyst, regardless of the presence of PA. In the absence of PA, the higher activity of the PtCu-alloy catalysts was ascribable to conventional alloying effects, while the increased activity in the presence of PA was largely due to the enhanced resistance to PA poisoning. Therefore, PtCu-alloy catalysts easily prepared by electrodeposition were found to be strong candidate materials for HT-PEMFC electrodes. 相似文献
