Novel multilayer Nafion/SPI/Nafion composite membrane for PEMFCs

A novel multilayer membrane for the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) was developed. Nafion was dispersed uniformly onto both sides of the sulfonated polyimide (SPI) membrane. The Nafion/SPI/Nafion composite membrane was prepared by immersing the SPI into the Nafion-containing casting solution. Through immersing both membranes into the Fenton solution at 80 °C for 0.5 h for an accelerated ex situ test, chromatographic analysis of the water evacuated from the cathode and the anode of the cells and a durability test of a single proton exchange membrane fuel cells, it was proved that the stability of the composite membrane has been greatly improved by adding the Nafion layer compared with the SPI membrane. The fuel cell performance with the SPI and Nafion/SPI/Nafion membranes was similar to the performance with the commercial product Nafion^® NRE-212 membrane at 80 °C.

Pd nanoparticles supported on copper phthalocyanine functionalized carbon nanotubes for enhanced formic acid electrooxidation

The hydrothermal synthesis of a novel Pd electrocatalyst using copper phthalocyanine-3,4′,4″,4′″-tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt (TSCuPc) functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite as catalyst support for Pd nanoparticles is reported. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical tests. It is found that Pd nanoparticles are uniformly deposited on the surface of TSCuPc-MWCNTs, and their dispersion and electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) are significantly improved. Studies of cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry demonstrate that the Pd/TSCuPc-MWCNTs exhibits much higher electrocatalytic activity and stability than the Pd/AO-MWCNTs catalyst for formic acid oxidation. This study implies that the as-prepared Pd/TSCuPc-MWCNTs will be a promising candidate as an anode electrocatalyst in direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC).     

Mass transport of direct methanol fuel cell species in sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) membranes

Homogeneous membranes based on sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (sPEEK) with different sulfonation degrees (SD) were prepared and characterized. In order to perform a critical analysis of the SD effect on the polymer barrier and mass transport properties towards direct methanol fuel cell species, proton conductivity, water/methanol pervaporation and nitrogen/oxygen/carbon dioxide pressure rise method experiments are proposed. This procedure allows the evaluation of the individual permeability coefficients in hydrated sPEEK membranes with different sulfonation degrees. Nafion^® 112 was used as reference material. DMFC tests were also performed at 50 °C. It was observed that the proton conductivity and the permeability towards water, methanol, oxygen and carbon dioxide increase with the sPEEK sulfonation degree. In contrast, the SD seems to not affect the nitrogen permeability coefficient. In terms of selectivity, it was observed that the carbon dioxide/oxygen selectivity increases with the sPEEK SD. In contrast, the nitrogen/oxygen selectivity decreases. In terms of barrier properties for preventing the DMFC reactants loss, the polymer electrolyte membrane based on the sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) with SD lower or equal to 71%, although having slightly lower proton conductivity, presented much better characteristics for fuel cell applications compared with the well known Nafion^® 112. In terms of the DMFC tests of the studied membranes at low temperature, the sPEEK membrane with SD = 71% showed to have similar performance, or even better, as that of Nafion^® 112. However, the highest DMFC overall efficiency was achieved using sPEEK membrane with SD = 52%.
