Proton Conducting membranes obtained by doping radia

研究领域：燃料电池质子导电膜 交流阻抗频率范围：1MHz - 1mHz By grafting 4-vinylpyridine (4VP), N-vinylformamide (NVF), and 1-vinylimidazole (1VIm) onto electron beam irradiated ETFE and FEP films, the basic membrane matrices ETFE-graftpoly( 4VP), FEP-graft-poly(4VP), ETFE-graft-poly(1VIm), and ETFE-graft-poly(vinylamine), after subsequent hydrolysis of ETFE-graft-poly(NVF), can be obtained. These matrices are doped with phosphoric acid to produce acidbase composite materials that exhibit high proton conductivities up to 100 mScm1 at high temperatures (120 8C) and no humidification. The produced membranes are robust, flexible, and mechanically stable even at high doping levels and endure temperatures of up to 160 8C. Preliminary tests in H2/O2 fuel cells provide power densities between 75 and 150 mAcm2 at 120 8C without humidification. C. Schmidt, G.
