摘要
A reinforced composite membrane based on SPEEK (sulfonated poly ether ether ketone) and porous PTFE substrate (polytetrafluoroethylene) is fabricated and investigated for proton exchange membrane fuel cell application. In order to improve the combination between SPEEK polymer and PTFE matrix, PTFE substrate is hydrophilically pretreated by naphthalene sodium solution. The experimental results indicate that SPEEK can impregnate into treated PTFE substrate (abbreviated as trPTFE) more easily. The variation of PTFE surface property before and after treatment is characterized by water contact angle experiment and ATR-FTIR technique. The impregnated status of SPEEK polymer in PTFE matrix is also characterized by ATR-FTIR. According to the appearance photo of two composite membranes, it is showed that SPEEK/trPTFE composite membrane has more uniform and homogeneous morphology. Moreover, the mechanical property of SPEEK/trPTFE composite membrane also has an advantage over pristine SPEEK membrane. Due to the reinforced effect of trPTFE substrate, thinner composite membrane can be applied in single cell evolution and achieves better performance as a result.
