โœฆ Synopsis


A series of sulfonated poly(fluorenyl ether nitrile oxynaphthalate) (SPFENO) copolymers with different degree of sulfonation (DS) are synthesized via nucleophilic polycondensation reactions with commercially available monomers. Incorporation of the naphthalanesulfonate group into the copolymers and their copolymer structures are confirmed by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Thermal stability, mechanical properties, water uptake, swelling behavior, proton conductivity and methanol permeability of the SPFENO membranes are investigated with respect to their structures. The electrochemical performance of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) assembled with the SPFENO membrane was evaluated and compared to a DMFC with a Nafion 117 membrane. The DMFC assembled with the SPFENO membrane of proper DS exhibits better electrochemical performance compared to the Nafion 117-based cell.

Modification of sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membrane was attempted by blending charged surface modifying macromolecule (cSMM). The modified membrane was tested for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) application; i.e. a SPEEK/cSMM blend membrane was compared to a SPEEK membrane and a Na
