Synthesis and characterisation of proton conducting membranes for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications
For a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), the proton exchange membrane must conduct protons and be a good methanol barrier. In addition to the high methanol permeability achieved by these membranes, they are very expensive and contribute greatly to theoverall cost of fuel cell set up. The high cost …

High Performance Materials Containing Nitrile Groups
… showed increased glass transition temperatures, proton conductivities, and hydrophilicities as a function of disulfonation. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) demonstrated that the acidified copolymer with 35 mole % of disulfonated units was phase separated into a co-continuous morphology of …

THE ROLES OF MATERIAL, SURFACE, & MICROSTRUCTURAL EFFECTS IN DEVELOPING CERAMICS FOR ENERGY APPLICATIONS
… species simultaneously enables their use as membranes, electrodes, and more. Perovskites especially, have highly tunable features, and can be modified through doping, surface coating, and microstructure. In this work, each of those approaches was used to improve and/or characterize ceramic …
