摘要：
Composite membranes based on sulfonated polysulfone and acidic silica filler were prepared and investigated for direct methanol fuel cells. A significant influence of nanosized acidic silica on composite membrane properties was observed. A better distribution of acidic silica than bare silica was found in the membranes as well as a higher ionic conductivity of acidic silica membrane. The composite membranes based on sulfonated polysulfone modified silica (SPSf-SiO2-S) and bare silica (SPSf-SiO2) showed also an increase of DMFC performance compared to bare SPSf. The best electrochemical performance was obtained with the composite SPSf-SiO2-S membrane that showed satisfactory proton conductivity, low methanol crossover and low swelling in comparison to bare SPSf membrane. Methanol crossover currents of 20, 25 and 31 mA cm(-2) were measured for SPSf-SiO2-S, SPSf-SiO2 and SPSf membranes, respectively. The highest DMFC performance of 60 mW cm(-2) was obtained with the composite acidic silica-SPSf membrane (SPSf-SiO2-S) at 60 degrees C. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
