- Abstract
- We prepared a novel phosphoric acid-doped sulfonated poly(fluorinated arylene ether)s/poly(N-vinylimidazole) blend polymer and poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) layered membrane. The thermal and electrochemical properties of the new layered membrane were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), as well as the performance of its membrane electrode assembly (MEA). The morphology of membrane was observed with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The fabricated membrane shows good mechanical property comparable to PBI membrane. The conductivity of new layered membrane was similar to that of polybenzimidazole (PBI) at high temperature. The single cell test showed that new PTFE layered membrane had a good performance over 150 degrees C. The PTFE layered membrane can be an alternative approach for PEMFC applications at high temperature. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
