Alkaline membrane fuel cells with in-situ cross-linked ionomers

Alkaline membrane fuel cells with in-situ cross-linked ionomers

Improving cell performance and durability through both new materials and membrane electrode processing optimization is needed for the commercialization of alkaline membrane fuel cell (AMFC) technologies. In this work, we adopted an in-situ cross-linking strategy of an anion-conducting block copolymer to prepare durable ionomers for use in alkaline membrane fuel cells (AMFCs). Our goal was to us...

V . C . 4 Advanced Ionomers and MEAs for Alkaline Membrane Fuel Cells

This project will synthesize novel PF AEMs and ionomers and incorporate these MEAs for fuel cell testing. The project generally supports targets outlined in the MYRDD Plan in application specific areas (portable, stationary, transportation). However, as alkaline membrane fuel cells are at an earlier stage of development, specific target tables have not yet been developed. There are two tasks in...

An electron-beam-grafted ETFE alkaline anion-exchange membrane in metal-cation-free solid-state alkaline fuel cells

A novel, physically strong, quaternary-ammonium-functionalised radiation-grafted ETFE alkaline anion-exchange membrane (AAEM) has been developed for application in fuel cells without undesirable addition of MOH into the anode fuel stream, thereby facilitating stable performances and long term operational lifetimes. A promising H2/O2 fuel cell peak power performance of 130 mW cm -2 was obtained ...
