摘要
In the highly competitive market of fuel cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells operating in the range 80-150 degrees C seem quite promising. One of the main hurdles for emergence of such a technology is the development of phosphonic acid-based membranes characterized by high conductivity and stability beyond 80 degrees C. In this work, new polymer blend membranes mixing a fluorinated polymer (poly(VDF-co-CTFE)) and a phosphonated polymer (poly(CTFE-alt-DEVEP)) have been prepared at low cost. High proton conductivity (40 mS m(-1) at 80 degrees C, 100% HR) and good thermal stability, directly related to the specific structuration of membranes, have been demonstrated. Due to cross-linking effect, argon plasma treatment of blend membranes has enabled to improve their thermal stability and fuel retention without altering their morphology, chemical composition and proton conductivity. Plasma-treated blend membranes appear as good candidates for PEMFC, as shown by preliminary fuel cell tests. (C) 2016 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
