Fundamental Investigations of Durability at a Polymer Electrolyte - Electrode Interface
نویسنده
چکیده
(1) Understanding the role of peroxide lead free radical attack on the polymer electrolyte at the interface with both anode and cathode electrodes using a specially designed PEM cell enabling accelerated degradation conditions simulating practical H2/Air PEM operation. In this effort the correlation was made with peroxide yield measured directly using RRDE methods with concomitant degradation of the membrane and ionomer.

Modelling Li Ion Battery Electrode Properties
In recent years, interest in using lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries as power sources for a wide range of devices (particularly portable devices) has grown significantly. There is thus a real need to understand at a fundamental level a wide range of battery performance criteria (energy density, power density, safety, durability, cost). Our working group considered how to model the fundamental elec...
متن کاملDesign and Synthesis of Cross-Linked Copolymer Membranes Based on Poly(benzoxazine) and Polybenzimidazole and Their Application to an Electrolyte Membrane for a
Elevated-temperature (100~200 °C) polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells have many features, such as their high efficiency and simple system design, that make them ideal for residential micro-combined heat and power systems and as a power source for fuel cell electric vehicles. A proton-conducting solid-electrolyte membrane having high conductivity and durability at elevated temperatures...
متن کاملDevelopment of low-cost, high-efficiency PEM Fuel Cells
It is generally accepted that the global demand for energy will dramatically rise in the future. Fuel cells are promising as efficient, non-polluting power sources that produces little noise and have no moving parts. The main problem is the high cost of manufacturing the devices, which has largely limited them to a handful of exotic applications. The objective of the present project is the deve...
متن کاملConstruction of Cu2+-selective electrode and thermodynamic study of the ternary aqueous mixed electrolyte system (CuCl2, KCl, H2O) using nanocomposite-based potentiometric sensor
A nanocomposite membrane Cu2+ ion-selective electrode has been constructed using a new compound ethyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxopyrimidine-5-carboxylat (ETMOC) as a neutral ionophore. The electrode works properly. It responds to Cu2+ ion with a sensitivity of 29.5 ± 0.2 mV/decade over the range 1.0 × 10−9 to 5.0 × 10−1M at p...
