Effects of ceramic filler in poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(ethyl methacrylate) based polymer blend electrolytes

Effects of nano-ceramic filler titanium oxide (TiO₂) have been investigated on the ionic conductance of polymeric complexes consisting of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA), and lithium perchlorate (LiClO₄). The composite polymer blend electrolytes were prepared by solvent casting technique. The TiO₂ nanofillers were homogeneously dispersed in the polymer electrolyte matrix and exhibited excellent interconnection with PVC/PEMA/PC/LiClO₄ polymer electrolyte. The addition of TiO₂ nanofillers improved the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte to some extent when the content of TiO₂ is 15 wt%. The addition of TiO₂ also enhanced the thermal stability of the electrolyte. The changes in the structural and complex formation properties of the materials are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The scanning electronmicroscope image of nano-composite polymer electrolyte membrane confirms that the TiO₂ nanoparticles were distributed uniformly in the polymer matrix.     

Heterogeneous ion-exchange membranes based on sulfonated poly(1,4-phenylene sulfide) and linear polyethylene: preparation, oxidation stability, methanol permeability and electrochemical properties

Poly(1,4-phenylene sulfide) was sulfonated with chlorosulfonic acid in 1,2-dichloroethane. The product (IEC = 2.38 mequiv./g) was ground and sieved (mesh size 63 μm) to obtain small particles. The particles and linear polyethylene were mixed in various ratios and the resulting blends were press-molded at 150 °C to obtain the membranes. Membranes containing up to 66 wt.% of sulfonated particles could be prepared without any problem in mechanical strength. The membranes were characterized by their stability in oxidative environment, ionic conductivity, and diffusive permeability to methanol. The membrane containing 66 wt.% of sulfonated particles was almost as conductive as Nafion 117; it exhibited, however, much lower diffusive permeability to methanol. In a strongly oxidative environment (3% aqueous H₂O₂ at 70 °C), the prepared membranes were less stable than Nafion 117, but much more stable than membranes with sulfonated poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) particles. In preliminary laboratory tests with H₂/O₂ and direct methanol fuel cells, the prepared membranes with high concentrations of sulfonated particles performed similarly to Nafion 117.

Energy material - the role of silicotungstic acid and fly ash in sulfonated poly (ether sulfone) composites for PEMFC applications

The composite polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared from sulfonated poly (ether sulfone) (SPES), silicotungstic acid (STA) and fly ash (FA). Post sulfonation process was adopted to synthesize SPES using sulphuric and chlorosulfonic acid. The prepared electrolyte membranes were examined by water uptake capacity, swelling ratio, ion-exchange ability, proton conductivity, thermal stability and electrochemical performance for evaluating the pertinence of these membranes in fuel cell applications. As such the pristine membrane restricts with the proton conductivity of 0.042?S cm^?1 at 30?°C and 0.060?S cm^?1 at 90?°C while the polymer composite membrane, SP-STA-FA-10 reveals the maximum conductivity of 0.054?S cm^?1 at 30?°C and 0.073?S cm^?1 at 90?°C. It also exhibits good thermal stability than that of the pure membrane. The membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) have been successfully developed from SPES as well as SP-STA-FA-10 membranes and their electrochemical performance were studied the wide range of current density. Herein, the composite membranes derived from SPES, STA and FA can be viable candidates for fuel cell applications.     

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/sulfonated polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (sPOSS) hybrid membranes for direct methanol fuel cell applications

Organic/inorganic hybrid membranes based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and sulfonated polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (sPOSS), crosslinked by ethylenediaminetetraacetic dianhydride (EDTAD), were prepared as candidate materials for proton exchange membranes in direct methanel fuel cell (DMFC) applications. Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy and ion exchange capacity measurements for the prepared networks clearly revealed sPOSS incorporation. We found that proton conductivity increased and methanol permeability decreased with increasing sPOSS content in the hybrid membrane. In particular, our hybrid membranes demonstrated proton conductivities as high as 0.042 S/cm, which is comparable to that of Nafion?, while exhibiting two orders of magnitude lower methanol permeability as compared to Nafion?. We postulate that the polar sulfonic acid groups of the incorporated sPOSS cages assemble to provide ion conduction paths while the hydrophobic portions of the same sPOSS cages combine to form a barrier to methanol permeation with improved thermal stability of the hybrid membrane.

Chemically stable hybrid polymer electrolyte membranes prepared by radiation grafting,sulfonation, and silane‐crosslinking techniques

To prepare a crosslinked hybrid polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) with high chemical stability, a silane monomer, namely p‐styryltrimethoxysilane (StSi), was first grafted to poly(ethylene‐co‐tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) film by γ‐ray preirradiation. Hydrolysis‐condensation and sulfonation were then performed on the StSi‐grafted ETFE (StSi‐g‐ETFE) films to give them crosslinks and proton conductibility, respectively. Thus, a crosslinked proton‐conducting hybrid PEM was obtained. The crosslinks introduced by the silane‐condensation have an inorganic ? Si? O? Si? structure, which enhance the chemical and thermal stabilities of the PEM. The effect of the timing of the hydrolysis‐condensation (before or after sulfonation) and the sulfonation method (by chlorosulfonic acid or H₂SO₄) on the properties of the resulting hybrid PEMs such as ion‐exchange capacity, proton conductivity, water uptake, chemical stability, and methanol permeability were investigated to confirm their applicability in fuel cells. We conclude that the properties of the new crosslinked hybrid StSi‐grafted PEMs are superior to divinylbenzene (DVB)‐crosslinked styrene‐grafted membranes. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone)/polyaniline composite proton-exchange membrane

Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) was prepared by sulfonation of commercial Victrex^@ PEEK and degree of sulfonation was found to be about 44.5% by ¹H NMR. Sulfonated PEEK/polyaniline composite membranes, in order to prevent methanol crossover, were prepared by chemical polymerization of a thin layer of polyaniline (PANI) in the presence of a high oxidant concentration on a single face modification. FTIR and PANI coating density studies confirmed the loading of PANI in sulfonated PEEK membrane matrix. PANI composite membranes with different polymerization time were prepared and subjected to thermogravimetric analysis as well as electrochemical and methanol permeability study to compare with sulfonated PEEK and Nafion 117 membrane. Ion-exchange capacity, water uptake, proton transport numbers and proton conductivities for different PANI composite sulfonated PEEK (SPEEK) membranes were found to be dependent on the coating density of the PANI in the membrane matrix and were slightly lower than that of Nafion 117 membrane. Methanol permeability of these membranes (especially SPEEK/PANI-1.5) was about four times lower than Nafion 117 membrane. Among the all SPEEK membranes synthesized in this study, SPEEK-1.5 appears to be more suitable for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) application considering optimum physicochemical and electrochemical properties, thermal stability as well as very low methanol permeability. Above all, the cost-effective and simple fabrication technique involved in the synthesis of such composite membranes makes their applicability quite attractive.

复合沉淀剂制备的CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3材料及其负载的单Pd三效催化剂

采用了一种由氨水和碳酸铵组成的复合沉淀剂来制备CeO₂-ZrO₂-Al₂O₃ （CZA）复合氧化物。作为对比,分别采用氨水和碳酸铵为沉淀剂制备了另外两个CZA复合氧化物。系统地研究了各CZA材料在织构、结构、氧化还原性能、热老化行为之间的区别,以及其负载的单Pd三效催化剂的催化性能。结果表明,不同的沉淀剂制得的材料中其CeO₂-ZrO₂ （CZ）和Al₂O₃之间的相互作用不同。用氨水做沉淀剂时,得到的材料中CZ和Al₂O₃之间的相互作用很小,导致其热稳定性较差。在碳酸铵做沉淀剂的情况下,CZ和Al₂O₃之间具有很强的相互作用,可以提高材料的热稳定性,但同时,CZ固溶体的均一性被严重破坏,使得材料的氧化还原性能不理想。而复合沉淀剂的使用可以有效地平衡CZ和Al₂O₃之间的相互作用,导致得到的CZA材料具有优异的织构、结构性能及良好的热稳定性。因此,其负载的单Pd催化剂表现出最为优异的氧化还原性能和三效催化活性。
