New highly proton-conducting membrane poly(vinylpyrrolidone)(PVP) modified poly(vinyl alcohol)/2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (PVA-PAMPS) for low temperature direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs)
چکیده انگلیسی

A new type of chemically cross-linked polymer blend membranes consisting of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (PAMPS) and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) have been prepared and evaluated as proton conducting polymer electrolytes. The proton conductivity (σ) of the membranes was investigated as a function of cross-linking time, blending composition, water content and ion exchange capacity (IEC). Membranes were also characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Membrane swelling decreased with cross-linking time, accompanied by an improvement in mechanical properties and a small decrease in proton conductivity due to the reduced water absorption. The membranes attained 0.088 S cm−1 of the proton conductivity and 1.63 mequiv g−1 of IEC at 25±2 °C for a polymer composition PVA-PAMPS-PVP being 1:1:0.5 in mass, and a methanol permeability of 6.1×10−7 cm2 s−1, which showed a comparable proton conductivity to Nafion 117, but only one third of Nafion 117 methanol permeability under the same measuring conditions. The membranes displayed a relatively high oxidative durability without weight loss of the membranes (e.g. 100 h in 3% H2O2 solution and 20 h in 10% H2O2 solution at 60 °C). PVP, as a modifier, was found to play a crucial role in improving the above membrane performances.
