Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Proton Transport in Proton Exchange Membranes Based on Acid-Base Complexes
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are promising energy conversion devices for the future society for their high energy conversion efficiency, environmental friendliness, and structural compactness. Therefore, PEMFCs have attracted great attention from academic and industry institutions; and billions of dollars of research funding from both private organizations and governmental agenc...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of protein transport to membranes and membrane proteins
In all cells, proteins have to reach their final destination with high precision and specialized transport systems ensure that mis-targeting is avoided. A large variety of secretory and membrane proteins use the signal recognition particle (SRP) for their transport. We study the molecular mechanisms of how the SRP system participates in protein transport. In addition, after their insertion into...
متن کاملEffect of Confinement on Proton Transport Mechanisms in Block Copolymer/Ionic Liquid Membranes
Nanostructured membranes containing structural and proton-conducting domains are of great interest for a wide range of applications requiring high conductivity coupled to high thermal stability. Understanding the effect of nanodomain confinement on protonconducting properties in such materials is essential for designing new, improved membranes. This relationship has been investigated for a lame...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulations of Proton Transport in 3M and Nafion Perfluorosulfonic Acid Membranes
Proton transfer and local structures in 3M (EW 825) and Nafion (EW 890) membranes are investigated in this study by both standard nonreactive molecular dynamics and the self-consistent iterative multistate empirical valence bond method, which is capable of simulating multiple reactive protons and accounting for the Grotthuss mechanism of proton transport. The Nafion and 3M systems have the same...
متن کاملNovel PVA/La2Ce2O7 hybrid nanocomposite membranes for application in proton exchange membrane fuel cells
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are electrochemical devices that show the highest power densities compared to the other type of fuel cell. In this work, nanocomposite membranes used for proton exchange membrane fuel cells as poly(vinyl alcohol)/La2Ce2O7 (PVA-LC) with the aim of increasing the water uptake and proton conductivity. Glutaraldehyde (GA) was used as cross linking agent ...
