Embedding of Hollow Polymer Microspheres with Hydrophilic Shell in Nafion Matrix as Proton and Water Micro-Reservoir
Assimilating hydrophilic hollow polymer spheres (HPS) into Nafion matrix by a loading of 0.5 wt % led to a restructured hydrophilic channel, composed of the pendant sulfonic acid groups (–SO3H) and the imbedded hydrophilic hollow spheres. The tiny hydrophilic hollow chamber was critical to retaining moisture and facilitating proton transfer in the composite membranes. To obtain such a tiny cavi...
متن کاملWater dynamics and proton transfer in nafion fuel cell membranes.
The dynamics of water and its effect on proton transport kinetics in Nafion membranes are compared at several hydration levels. Nafion is the most widely used polyelectrolyte membrane in fuel cells. Ultrafast infrared spectroscopy of the O-D stretch of dilute HOD in H2O provides a probe of the local environment and hydrogen bond network dynamics of water confined in the hydrophilic regions of N...
متن کاملAssembled hollow and core-shell SnO2 microspheres as anode materials for Li-ion batteries
SnO2 microspheres with controllable morphology were prepared via a hydrothermal-annealing method. The SnO2 morphology can be tuned by using AlOOH sol and g-Al2O3 as additive. The hollow SnO2 microspheres with incomplete core-shell structure prepared with small amount of g-Al2O3 presented the best cycling performance in Li-ion battery, exhibiting a specific capacity of 374.2 mAh g 1 up to 100 cy...
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 کاملControllable microfluidic production of gas-in-oil-in-water emulsions for hollow microspheres with thin polymer shells.
Here we developed a simple and novel one-step approach to produce G/O/W emulsions with high gas volume fractions in a capillary microfluidic device. The thickness of the oil layer can be controlled easily by tuning the flow rates. We successfully used the G/O/W emulsions to prepared hollow microspheres with thin polymer shells.
