Proton exchange membrane fuel cell compounds

The practical advantage of this compound is its safety when stored or delivered as a powder or liquid. The quality of water is not a serious issue and any water, such as rain, underground, river, waste, or seawater, is suitable when it is used to make liquid solutions for supplying hydrogen to actuate proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) in emergency and portable uses.

The preparation of sulfonated PEEK with a sulfonated phenyl group pendant from the main chain has been described in detail [78]. These compounds are useful in proton exchange membranes, particularly for fuel cells. The pendant phenyl group can provide an easily sulfonable site that may be sulfonated under mild conditions, providing the ability to precisely control the sulfonic acid content of the polymer.

Today, the term solid electrolyte or fast ionic conductor or, sometimes, superionic conductor is used to describe solid materials whose conductivity is wholly due to ionic displacement. Mixed conductors exhibit both ionic and electronic conductivity. Solid electrolytes range from hard, refractory materials, such as 8 mol% Y2C>3-stabilized Zr02(YSZ) or sodium fT-AbCb (NaAluOn), to soft proton-exchange polymeric membranes such as Du Pont s Nafion and include compounds that are stoichiometric (Agl), non-stoichiometric (sodium J3"-A12C>3) or doped (YSZ). The preparation, properties, and some applications of solid electrolytes have been discussed in a number of books2 5 and reviews.6,7 The main commercial application of solid electrolytes is in gas sensors.8,9 Another emerging application is in solid oxide fuel cells.4,5,1, n...
