제목 Morphology and DMFC Membrane Properties of Sulfonated Poly(arylene ether sulfone) / Diethoxydimethylsilane Hybrids
초록 A new approach for improving the DMFC membrane transport properties of sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymers (SPAES, degree of sulfonation = 60 %) has been demonstrated, which is based on controlling the water-channel structure and the state of water by in-situ hybridization of ORMOSIL (Organically Modified SILicates). Diethoxydimethylsilane (DEDMS) was employed as a functional ORMOSIL precursor. Its hydrophobic nature made it possible to adjust the hydrophilicity of the resulting hybrid membranes. An increase of DEDMS uptake into SPAES membranes allowed the water uptake to decrease and the water channels to become narrow and tortuous. A noteworthy observation is that the incorporation of DEDMS into SPAES was effective in suppressing the methanol crossover with slightly sacrificing the proton conductivity, resulting in the higher selectivity. This improvement in DFMC membrane transport properties was discussed in terms of the water-channel structure and the state of water.
