A proton exchange membrane of poly (vinylidene fluoride) grafted onto poly (2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid) (PVDF-g-PAMPS) was prepared as follows: acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) was first added to a N-Methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) solution containing poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) that was modified with plain sodium silicate. Ammonium persulfate was then added as an evocating agent and PAMPS was directly grafted onto the PVDF that was modified with plain sodium silicate. The influences of AMPS contents on the proton conductivity and methanol permeability were studied. The results showed that AMPS is easily grafted into PVDF modified by Plain sodium silicate (Na4SiO4), with increasing of the content of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, the methanol permeability became large gradually of PVDF-g-PAMPS membranes was increased.

This work describes the preparation and the properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) porous membranes. The porous membrane was prepared using phase-inversion method by adding hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as hole-agent. The contrastive analysis of membrane characterizations between the membrane no PVP added and the membrane added PVP were carried out by optical microscopy analysis, scanning electron microscopy, porosity, pure water flux and water contact angle. The results showed that adding PVP can induce the building of pore structure, increase the surface roughness and hydrophilicity of PVDF membrane, and then enhance its pure water flux.

In recent years, with the aggravating of environmental pollution, the purification of carbon monoxide is currently a subject of interest. The catalytic oxidation method is an effective way. Manganese oxide nanoparticles were prepared by emulsion self-assembly method and then, synthetic and commercial manganese oxide-supported gold nanoparticle catalysts were successfully synthesized by the deposition-precipitation (DP) method. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, Raman, BET, ICP and HRTEM. The activity of the oxide and oxide-supported gold nanoparticle catalysts were evaluated on the fixed bed microreactor and Au/MnOx had the highest activity. The intrinsic activity of Au/MnOx at 35 °C is 0.81 molCO·mol-1Au·min-1. Compared with O2, CO concentration has bigger effect on the reaction activity.

A proton exchange membrane of blended poly (acrylamido-2- methylpropane sulfonic acid) grafted onto modified poly (vinylidene fluoride) membrane (PVDF-g-PAMPS) was prepared The influences of Na4SiO4 content, reaction temperature and time, content of ammonium persulfate and AMPS on PVDF-g-PAMPS membrane were discussed. The results show that the optimal reaction conditions are as follows: Na4SiO4 is 8%; ammonium persulfate is 0.016 mol / L; AMPS is 30 %; the reaction temperature is 80 °C and the reaction time is 1h. On the condition, PVDF-g-PAMPS membrane conductivity can reach to 1.27×10-2 S/cm.
