Utilizing CeMnO x bimetallic oxide as fillers in SPEEK/SPPO blend polymer backbone demonstrated outstanding oxidative stability and improved performance PEMFCs.
The incorporation of cerium–zinc bimetallic oxide (CeZnOx) nanostructures in sulfonated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (SPPO) membranes holds promise an enhanced and durable fuel cell performance. This investigation delves into the durability efficiency SPPO intercalated with CeZnOx by varying filler loading 1, 2, 3% (w/w). successful synthesis alkali-aided deposition method is confirmed wide-angle X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (WAXS), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning...
Crosslinked anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) with reasonable water uptake are used for the separation of monovalent anions from their mixture bivalent by electrodialysis (ED). Herein, we report preparation a series monovalent-selective crosslinked AEMs containing imidazole rings polyacrylonitrile-co-poly(vinylimidazole) (PAN-co-PVIm) copolymer (AN/VIm ratio = 75:25 mol/mol), followed N-alkylation alkyl halide different chain lengths (carbon number: 1,6,10,18), reaction 1,6-diamino hexane. The...
Tuning of hydrophobicity, water uptake, and size the ion channel is very crucial for monovalent anion-selective membrane (MASM) preparation. In this work, we report preparation MASM from cross-linked polyacrylonitrile-co-polyvinylimidazole (PAN-co-PVI) copolymer. The copolymer was in situ quaternized using polyacrylonitrile-co-polychloromethylstyrene (PAN-co-PCMSt) as cross-linker. benzyl chloride moiety (Ar-CH2Cl) PAN-co-PCMSt reacts with imidazolium nitrogen PAN-co-PVI provides a positive...
Cation exchange membranes (CEMs) are widely used for water desalination, as well the separation and concentration of alkali by electrodialysis (ED). The economic viability process depends on electrochemical properties CEM. Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) has been chosen to fabricate CEM using dry wet phase inversion (DWPI) technique. DWPI requires less polymer material time, providing good mechanical strength due fabric support. can be a better alternative crafting efficient...
