Qingfeng Li, Ronghuan He, Jens Oluf Jensen, Niels Bjerrum
AbstractProton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) technology based on perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) polymer membranes is briefly reviewed. The newest development in alternative polymer electrolytes for operation above 100 °C is summarized and discussed. As one of the successful approaches to high operational temperatures, the development and evaluation of acid dop...... hiện toàn bộ
The Chemical and Structural Nature of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Properties Tập 5 Số 2 - Trang 213-229 - 2005
Michael A. Hickner, Bryan S. Pivovar
AbstractThe chemical and structural (morphological) features of proton exchange membranes are directly tied to their fuel cell relevant transport properties. A large body of research has focused on characterizing the structure or investigating the properties of Nafion® and other proton exchange membranes, but few studies have linked chemical composition to membrane...... hiện toàn bộ
Synthesis and Characterization of Pyridine‐Based Polybenzimidazoles for High Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Applications Tập 5 Số 2 - Trang 287-295 - 2005
Liuling Xiao, H. Zhang, Tushar Jana, Eugene Scanlon, Ruitai Chen, E. W. Choe, L. S. Ramanathan, Seonghan Yu, Brian C. Benicewicz
AbstractA series of polybenzimidazoles (PBIs) incorporating main chain pyridine groups were synthesized from the pyridine dicarboxylic acids (2,4‐, 2,5‐, 2,6‐ and 3,5‐) and 3,3′,4,4′‐tetraaminobiphenyl, using polyphosphoric acid (PPA) as both solvent and polycondensation reagent. A novel process, termed the PPA process, has been developed to prepare phosphoric acid...... hiện toàn bộ
Synthetic Strategies for Controlling the Morphology of Proton Conducting Polymer Membranes Tập 5 Số 2 - Trang 171-186 - 2005
Yuan Yang, Steven Holdcroft
AbstractThe nanostructure and morphology of proton conducting polymers is of considerable interest in the search for next generation materials and optimization of existing ones. Synthetic methodologies for tailoring molecular structures that promote nanoscopic phase separation of ionic and non‐ionic domains, and the effect of phase separation on parameters such as ...... hiện toàn bộ
Anion‐Exchange Membranes for Fuel Cells: Synthesis Strategies, Properties and Perspectives Tập 15 Số 6 - Trang 761-780 - 2015
Hongwei Zhang, Dongyang Chen, Yin Xianze, Shibin Yin
AbstractThis review focuses on various synthesis strategies of anion‐exchange membranes (AEMs) for fuel cells, diverse methodologies of AEM‐forming, together with relationship between structures and properties. AEMs are discussed from seven categories, including (1) AEMs derived from Nafion precursors with sulfonyl fluoride groups, which display excellent stability...... hiện toàn bộ
Thin Film Microelectrodes in SOFC Electrode Research Tập 6 Số 3-4 - Trang 284-292 - 2006
Jürgen Fleig, F. Baumann, V. Brichzin, Hyungchul Kim, J. Jamnik, G. Cristiani, H.‐U. Habermeier, Joachim Maier
AbstractExperimental studies using conventional (porous) solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrodes are often rather difficult to interpret in terms of a mechanistic understanding of the electrochemical polarization phenomena. Owing to the complex morphology and structure of porous electrodes, a quantitative determination of the properties of the electrochemical mater...... hiện toàn bộ
