ATR-FTIR study of water in Nafion membrane combined with proton conductivity measurements during hydration/dehydration cycle.
We have conducted combined time-resolved attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and proton conductivity measurements of Nafion NRE211 membrane during hydration/dehydration cycles at room temperature. Conductivity change was interpreted in terms of different states of water in the membrane based on its δ(HOH) vibrational spectra. It was found that hydration of a dry me...
متن کاملAtomistic simulation of water percolation and proton hopping in Nafion fuel cell membrane.
We have performed a detailed analysis of water clustering and percolation in hydrated Nafion configurations generated by classical molecular dynamics simulations. Our results show that at low hydration levels H(2)O molecules are isolated and a continuous hydrogen-bonded network forms as the hydration level is increased. Our quantitative analysis has established a hydration level (λ) between 5 a...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on EB-Radiation Deterioration of Nafion Membrane in Water and Isopropanol Solvents
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of electron beam (EB) irradiation on the structure and physical properties of Nafion 117 membranes (in both acid and sodium forms) when they are irradiated in water and isopropanol as solvents. The mechanical properties of Nafion membranes in acid form irradiated in water were found to rapidly deteriorate as the irradiation dose was inc...
متن کاملComputer Simulation Study of Model Nafion Membrane in Water/Methanol Solvent
Using NPT and NVT molecular dynamics simulation techniques, we have simulated an atomistic model of solvated Nafion in the lithium salt form, with the following three main objectives: (i) to obtain details on the local environment of the lithium cations and to assess the solvent effect on their binding, (ii) to investigate the translational and rotational motion of solvent molecules (water and ...
متن کاملHydration structure of strongly bound water on the sulfonic acid group in a Nafion membrane studied by infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculation.
The hydration structure of the 'strongly bound water' around the sulfonic acid (SA) groups in Nafion, which has recently been revealed by (1)H NMR spectroscopy (Anal. Chem., 2013, 85, 7581), is studied using infrared spectroscopy with the aid of quantum chemical (QC) calculations. During a heated drying process, bulky water is firstly dehydrated, which is followed by the disappearance of the hy...
