Hydrogen bonding assisted OH- transport under low humidity for rapid start-up in AEMFCs

Wanjie Song et al.

Summary: This study reports an AEM with a urea-based structure that exhibits excellent performance under low humidity conditions. Micro-structure analysis and molecular dynamics simulation show that hydrogen bonding between urea-based structures enhances the self-assembly ability and OH- conduction pathway of the AEM. The hydrogen bond network formed by urea-urea and urea-water groups endows the AEM with excellent water retention ability, reducing the dependence of OH- conduction on humidity. The research provides significant guidance for rapid start-up in AEM fuel cells.

Self-aggregating cationic-chains enable alkaline stable ion-conducting channels for anion-exchange membrane fuel cells

Jianjun Zhang et al.

Summary: The precise manipulation of the polyelectrolyte self-assembly process to form specific microstructures with ion-conducting channels is crucial for various fields. By introducing dipolar ethylene oxide spacers in the cationic side chain, a new strategy for designing self-aggregating side chains with optimized alkaline stability has been developed, leading to the creation of AEMs with enhanced conductivity and alkaline stability. This innovative concept shows promising results in terms of hydroxide conductivity, peak power density, and alkaline stability in fuel cell applications.
