We report preparation of hybrid cross-linked proton exchange membranes (PEMs), which are synthesized from sulfonated copoly(norbornene)s bearing sultone pendant (SPBN) and a zwitterionic silica containing sulfonic acid and ammonium groups, 3-[[3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl]amino]butane-1-sulfonic acid (TPABS), using a sol-gel process. As these membranes are well processed as self-supporting film, they show high stabilities, proton conductivity and low methanol permeability. Reported SPBN/TPABS-50 (50 wt % of TPABS to SPBN in the matrix) shows the best performance with proton conductivity of 6.34 x 10(-2) S cm(-1), methanol permeability of 3.64 x 10(-7) cm(2) s(-1), ion-exchange capacity value of 1.21 mequiv g(-1) and comparable selectivity parameter of 1.74 x 10(4) S cm(-3) s. While the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is fabricated using the SPBN/TPABS-50 as PEM, the open circuit voltage of SPBN/TPABS-50 at 1.0 M methanol (80 degrees C) and its power density of the devices are 0.563 V and 50.2 mW cm(-2), respectively, though which is lower than that of Nafion117 (124.2 mW cm(-2)). The new designed cross-linked membranes can thus be a promising candidate to satisfy the requirements of PEMs for direct methanol fuel cells, especially the simple and low cost preparation of the membranes.
