Water transport in cation exchange membranes
The time variation in emf caused by pressure differences has been used to find transference coefficients of water as well as water permeabilities in ion exchange membranes. Previous experimental methods have been corrected and facilitated. The cation exchange membrane CR61 AZL 386 was investigated. Equilibrium solutions contained 10-4 kmol_m-3 < CKC~ < 10-1 kmol_m-3, or constant concentration o...
متن کاملAnalysis of Water Transport in Proton Exchange Membranes Using a Phenomenological Model
An investigation of water transport across the membrane of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is performed to gain further insight into water management issues and the overall behavior of a representative phenomenological model. The model accounts for water transport via electro-osmotic drag and diffusion and is solved using a finite volume method for a one-dimensional isothermal system. Tran...
متن کاملState of Water in Perfluorosulfonic Ionomer (Nafion) Proton Exchange Membranes
This manuscript reports on the direct identification of four states of water in hydrated Nafion ionomer polymers, including a quantitative measurement of their dynamics, as previously published in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 155, B163-B171 (2008). Here, we provide further details on the dynamics of these water states and we underline still-open scientific questions, towards stim...
متن کاملEffect of interfacial water transport resistance on coupled proton and water transport across Nafion.
Dynamic and steady-state water flux, current density, and resistance across a Nafion 115 membrane-electrode-assembly (MEA) were measured as functions of temperature, water activity, and applied potential. After step changes in applied potential, the current, MEA resistance, and water flux evolved to new values over 3000-5000 s, indicating a slow redistribution of water in the membrane. Steady-s...
متن کاملWater Soluble Polymers as Proton Exchange Membranes for Fuel Cells
The relentless increase in the demand for useable power from energy-hungry economies continues to drive energy-material related research. Fuel cells, as a future potential power source that provide clean-at-the-point-of-use power offer many advantages such as high efficiency, high energy density, quiet operation, and environmental friendliness. Critical to the operation of the fuel cell is the ...
