Effect of Organic and Non Organic Acids on the Blend PES/PS/PVDF Polymer Membranes Efficiency for Microbial Fuel Cell

In this work proton exchange membranes were prepared by a modified microwave casting solution technique, using the polymers blend (polyethersulfone (PES), polystyrene (PS), polyvinylidenefluride (PVDF)). Modified method was used to overcome poor compatibility between hydrophilic, (PES, PS) and hydrophobic PVDF, cooling substrate during film process (4.5-5.5oC). Membranes chemically three reaction types study differences their effects on required properties for microbial fuel cell application. These methods use organic sulfonic acid precasting sulfonation sulfuric post-casting (APS), blending (AS) (AP). The presence of confirmed via FTIR spectra membranes. characterized conductivity, ion capacity (IEC), [-SO3H] value, water uptake. MFC is electrochemical polarization tests power densities obtained from it evaluate efficiency membrane in cell.
