PSSA pore-filled PVDF membranes by simultaneous electron beam irradiation: Preparation and transport characteristics of protons and methanol

Polystyrene sulfonic acid (PSSA) pore-filled poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes have been prepared using simultaneous electron irradiation method. Porous PVDF films were grafted by pre-swelling in styrene solution and subsequent irradiation with an electron beam (EB) under nitrogen atmosphere and at ambient temperature. The grafted films i.e. polystyrene (PS) pore-filled PVDF were subsequently sulfonated with a diluted mixture of chlorosufonic acid. The effects of the reaction parameters on the content of PS grafted in the pores of PVDF films were investigated. The chemical and morphological properties of the membranes in comparison with their un-grafted and grafted counterparts were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The transport properties of these membranes such as ionic conductivity and methanol permeability were evaluated and correlated with the content of PS grafted in the pores of the PVDF films. The PSSA pore-filled PVDF membranes with PS content in the pores of 40% and above showed superior performance characteristics compared to Nafion 117 membrane and therefore can be potential alternatives to improve the performance of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC).     

Characterization and evaluation of commercial poly (vinylidene fluoride)‐g‐sulfonatedPolystyrene as proton exchange membrane

The possibility of developing low‐cost commercial grafted and sulfonated Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF‐g‐PSSA) membranes as proton exchange membranes for fuel cell applications have been investigated. PVDF‐g‐PSSA membranes were systematically prepared and examined with the focus of understanding how the polymer microstructure (degree of grafting and sulfonation, ion‐exchange capacity, etc) affects their methanol permeability, water uptake, and proton conductivity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize the changes of the membrane's microstructure after grafting and sulfonation. The results showed that the PVDF‐g‐PSSA membranes exhibited good thermal stability and lower methanol permeability. The proton conductivity of PVDF‐g‐PSSA membranes was also measured by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method. It was found that the proton conductivity of PVDF‐g‐PSSA membranes depends on the degree of sulfonation. All the sulfonated membranes show high proton conductivity at 92°C, in the range of 27 to 235 mScm⁻¹, which is much higher than that of Nafion212 (102 mScm⁻¹ at 80°C). The results indicated that the PVDF‐g‐PSSA membranes are particularly promising membranes to be used as polymer electrolyte membranes due to their excellent stability, low methanol permeability, and high proton conductivity.     

New polymer electrolyte membranes for low temperature fuel cells

Partially fluorinated proton exchange materials were synthesised by pre-irradiation grafting of styrene into poly(vinylidene fluoride) films with subsequent sulfonation. The grafted and sulfonated membranes, PVDF-g-PSSA membranes, have been studied with respect to water uptake, ion and water clustering, ion conductivity and water diffusion coefficients. Water associates with the membranes in three different ways: bound non-freezable water, freezable bound water and freezable free water. The proton conductivity of the membrane is strongly dependent on the hydration, it decreases more rapidly than the water self diffusion with decreasing water content. Ion clusters with a Bragg distance of 25 Å form the conducting channels in the membranes.     

Radiation grafted poly(vinylidene fluoride)-graft-polystyrene sulfonic acid membranes for fuel cells: Structure-property relationships

<正>Structure-property relationships for poly(vinylidene fluoride)-graft-polystyrene sulfonic acid(PVDF-g-PSSA) fuel cell membranes prepared by a single step method involving radiation-induced grafting of sodium styrene sulfonate(SSS) onto electron beam(EB) irradiated poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) films were established.The physico-chemical properties of the membranes such as ion exchange capacity,water swelling and proton conductivity were correlated with the degree of grafting(G,%) and the structural changes taking place in the membrane matrix during the preparation procedure. The variation in the crystallinity and the thermal stability of membranes was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),respectively.The membranes were found to undergo substantial structural changes in forms of ionic sites increase,hydrophilicity enhancement,hydrophobicity reduction and crystallinity decrease with the variation in G(%) and the preparation method.The structural and thermal properties of the obtained membranes were also compared with their counterparts prepared by a conventional two-steps method i.e.radiation induced grafting of styrene onto EB irradiated PVDF films followed by sulfonation.The PVDF-g-PSSA membranes obtained by a single-step method were found to have superior properties compared to those obtained by the conventional two-steps method.     

Partially Sulfonated Polystyrene and Poly(2,6‐dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene oxide) Blend Membranes for Fuel Cells

Summary: Based on Flory–Huggins parameters (χ), the miscibility and the effect of morphological change on proton conductivity and methanol permeability of partially sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) and partially sulfonated poly(2,6‐dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene oxide) (SPPO), having an identical ion exchange capacity, were investigated. When 50 wt.‐% of SPPO was blended, both the proton conductivity and methanol permeability had the highest values, which resulted from the change of amorphous domains and the hydrogen bonding between the two ionomers.

The proton conductivities, water uptake and methanol permeability for the SPPO/SPS blend membranes studied here. The membranes with 50 wt.‐% SPPO clearly showed the greatest increase in these properties.     

Sulfonated silica‐based electrolyte nanocomposite membranes

New functionalized particles were prepared by attaching sulfonated aromatic bishydroxy compounds onto fumed silica surface. First, a bromophenyl group was introduced onto the silica surface by reaction of bromophenyltrimethoxysilane with fumed silica. Then, sulfonated bishydroxy aromatic compounds were chemically attached to the silica surface by nucleophilic substitution reactions. The structure of the modified silica was characterized by elemental analysis: ¹³C‐NMR, ²⁹Si‐NMR, and FTIR. Afterward, novel inorganic–organic electrolyte composite membranes based on sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) have been developed using the sulfonated aromatic bishydroxy compounds chemically attached onto the fumed silica surface. The composite membrane prepared using silica with sulfonated hydroxytelechelic, containing 1,3,4‐oxadiazole units, has higher proton conductivity values in all range of temperatures (40–140 °C) than the membrane containing only the plain electrolyte polymer, while the methanol permeability determined by pervaporation experiment was unchanged. A proton conductivity up to 59 mS cm^?1 at 140 °C was obtained. The combination of these effects may lead to significant improvement in fuel cells (fed with hydrogen or methanol) at temperatures above 100 °C. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
