Preparation of Organic -Inorganic Polymer Composite Membranes for Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells
An advanced organic-inorganic polymer composite membranes are synthesized to enhance chemical stability for the application of unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs). In order to improve chemical stability of polymer membrane, organic polymer is composed with inorganic materials for long-term operation of URFC. By addition of inorganic polymer, chemical stability of polymer membrane has highly increased. However, higher concentration of inorganic particles may lead to brittleness in polymer membrane. Therefore, the optimization of inorganic materials in polymer membrane is a crucial for the preparation of polymer membrane with high chemical stability in URFC.
