![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Infrared and thermal behaviour of proton exchange membrane (PEM) after cationic contamination Infrared and thermal behaviour of proton exchange membrane (PEM) after cationic contamination](/preview/png/634381.png)
This paper focuses on the differences between the thermal behaviour of cation exchanged membrane based on Short Side Chain (SSC) and Long Side Chain (LSC) polymers. The α relaxation of alkali and Cu2+ exchanged membranes showed dependency on ion exchange capacity and the length of the side chain similar to that of H+-form membranes. The modulus drop of multivalent contaminated membranes was attributed to a degradation process except for Ba2+and Zn2+ LSC exchanged membrane. The thermal behaviour as function of the Lewis Acid Strength, LAS, of the cation could originate from infrared (IR) vibrational changes. For cations with LAS<0.3, the 1060 cm−1 and 970 cm−1 mode induce concurrent shift towards high wavenumbers. This suggests a stiffening of the corresponding bonds resulting in the improvement of the membrane's thermal stability. The cations with LAS>0.3 decrease the 970 cm−1 wavenumber which could explain the enhancement of the degradation.
