摘要: In an effort to develop improved Proton Exchange Membranes for Polymeric Fuel cells two different forms of polyanion inclusion in poly(2,5-benzimidazole) (ABPBI) have been carried out. Namely by (i) sulfonation pre-formed polymer membranes and (ii) addition inorganic phosphomolybdic acid form hybrid ABPBI–PMo12 membranes. both cases we detected increased proton conductivity the resulting membranes, associated enhanced capacity polyanion-modified materials uptake phosphoric (in comparison with previously known ABPBI or even commercial PBI membranes). These new are stable up 200 °C feature high conductivities at these temperatures, which makes them promising candidates higher-temperature PEM Cells.
