On the Properties of Nafion Membranes Recast from Dispersion in N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone

Ekaterina Yu. Safronova et al.

Summary: By changing the preparation and pretreatment conditions, the properties of Nafion membranes can be optimized. In this study, a Nafion-NMP membrane with higher conductivity and comparable hydrogen permeability was obtained by casting from a Nafion dispersion in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The increase in conductivity is attributed to the optimization of the Nafion-NMP microstructure, which improves the connectivity of the pores and channels system. This leads to an increased capacity of the membrane electrode assembly compared to a commercial Nafion (R) 212 membrane.

Progress in hybrid composite Nafion®-based membranes for proton exchange fuel cell application

Y. Prykhodko et al.

Summary: Over 50% of energy is currently produced by burning non-renewable fossil fuels, leading to the release of greenhouse gases and environmental pollution. As a result, research on renewable energy sources, storage, and energy transformation devices has become increasingly important in recent years. Fuel cells, particularly proton exchange membrane fuel cells, are considered a promising energy device with ongoing developments in membrane technology.

Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Perfluorosulfonic Acid Polymer in Water-Ethanol Mixtures

An-Tsung Kuo et al.

Summary: The study found that PFSA ionomers in water-ethanol mixtures form cylindrical-like particles or random coil conformations, depending on the ethanol concentration. The formation of cylindrical structures at low ethanol concentrations is attributed to strong electrostatic interactions among charged groups, while higher ethanol concentrations result in greater polymer/solvent interfacial attraction and conformational entropy.

State of the art and prospects in the development of proton-conducting perfluorinated membranes with short side chains: A review

Oleg N. Primachenko et al.

Summary: This review focuses on key problems in the development of modern proton-conducting membranes for hydrogen power, particularly for use in fuel cells at high temperatures without catalyst poisoning. It discusses new synthesis approaches and the modification of membranes with chemically stable nanoparticles. Advanced structural methods play a crucial role in understanding molecular ordering and the formation of conducting channels in membranes, with neutron scattering being highlighted as a powerful tool for analysis of ionomers and nanoscale structures in membrane materials. Integration of novel methods such as emulsion polymerization and the use of nanodiamonds and other nanoparticles in polymer matrices shows promise for creating new generations of membrane materials with enhanced functional properties.

Ion exchange membranes based on radiation-induced grafted functionalized polystyrene for high-performance reverse electrodialysis

D. Golubenko et al.

Summary: The study examined the use of radiation-induced grafted ion exchange membranes based on functionalized polystyrene in reverse electrodialysis (RED) for the first time, comparing their performance with different commercial ion-exchange membranes. It was found that grafted membranes with lower conductivity and higher selectivity achieved higher power densities and current efficiencies in some model systems.

Control of Cluster Structures in Catalyst Inks by a Dispersion Medium

Daozeng Yang et al.

Summary: The cluster structure in the catalyst ink of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is determined by the interaction among solvent, ionomer, and catalyst. This structure affects the microstructure and surface morphology of the catalyst layer, playing a crucial role in improving its conductivity to protons, electrons, and water. The dispersion of ionomers and alcohol molecules with smaller molecular structures is found to be more conducive to the dispersion of clusters in the ink.

Probing Ionomer Interactions with Electrocatalyst Particles in Solution

Sarah A. Berlinger et al.

Summary: The interaction between ionomer and catalyst particles in porous electrodes of electrochemical-energy-conversion devices is crucial for performance, with ionomer adsorption being influenced mainly by entropic interactions with the carbon surface. Solvents with higher water content promote ionomer adsorption, and ionomer dispersions change with time, leading to dynamic binding interactions.

Impact of the Composition of Alcohol/Water Dispersion on the Proton Transport and Morphology of Cast Perfluorinated Sulfonic Acid Ionomer Thin Films

Xiao Gao et al.

Summary: The study examines the effects of water/alcohol compositions on the dispersion of perfluorinated sulfonic acid ionomers in catalyst inks and the morphology and proton transport of Nafion thin films. Thin films cast by a high water/alcohol ratio Nafion dispersion show well-defined hydrophilic/hydrophobic phase separation and high proton conductivity.
