Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis Incorporating Sulfo-Phenylated Polyphenylene Catalyst Coated Membranes

Xin Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, fully hydrocarbon-based ionomer catalyst coated membranes (CCMs) were evaluated in a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer cell. The results showed that sPPB-H+ membranes required a lower applied potential compared to the reference Nafion NR112 recast membranes. Although the sPPB-H+ membranes initially had lower gas crossover, the gas crossover increased and higher rates of voltage evolution were observed during stability tests. The use of sPPB-H+ as the catalyst layer binder also showed higher efficiency when the ionomer content was 20 wt%.

Improving the efficiency of fully hydrocarbon-based proton-exchange membrane fuel cells by ionomer content gradients in cathode catalyst layers

Hien Nguyen et al.

Summary: Recently, fully hydrocarbon-based fuel cells have achieved similar performance to cells with perfluorinated ionomers. However, low ionomer contents can cause lower cell performance, especially under reduced humidities. This study investigates the use of ionomer content gradients in the catalyst layers to improve proton conductivity without compromising reactant transport, resulting in improved performance of the fuel cells.

The role of oxygen-permeable ionomer for polymer electrolyte fuel cells

Ryosuke Jinnouchi et al.

Summary: This study reports the improvement of performance in polymer electrolyte fuel cells by incorporating a ring-structured backbone matrix into ionomers in the cathode catalyst layers. High power density and catalytic activity are achieved through the high oxygen solubility of the ionomer, promoting oxygen transport and reactions. The molecular design of the ionomer enhances the oxygen reduction reaction activity and mitigates catalyst poisoning, ultimately benefiting the overall performance of the fuel cells.

Hydrocarbon-based Pemion™ proton exchange membrane fuel cells with state-of-the-art performance

Hien Nguyen et al.

Summary: Non-fluorinated hydrocarbon ionomers offer technical, cost, and environmental advantages over perfluorinated sulfonic acid-based ionomers, but their performance in hydrogen fuel cells still needs improvement. The study presented in this paper demonstrates significant enhancements in power density and performance by using a sulfo-phenylated polyphenylene-based cation exchange material as ionomer in the catalyst layer and proton exchange membrane.
