Electrospun nanofibre composite polymer electrolyte fuel cell and electrolysis membranes

Abstract: International audienceLarge-scale commercialisation of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) technology for automotive and stationary applications demands the development of a robust, durable and cost-effective materials. In this regard, ionomer membranes being present at the core of PEMFCs are required to maintain elevated proton conductivity, high mechanical strength and low gas permeability during the lifespan of the fuel cell. These challenges are addressed by investigating novel nano-structured membr… Show more

“…Among these methods, the electrospinning (ES) process is of great importance due to the advantages of materials that can be utilized by it. For example, this method enables synthesis of fibers with large surface‐to‐volume ratio and mesoporous structure for various catalytic applications . In addition, ES is an attractive way to produce high‐surface‐area fibers with diameters in the nano–micrometer range and nonwoven nanofiber mats, with unique properties …”

“…In the last couple of years, researchers showed an increasing interest in electrospinning, a versatile technique which facilitates tailoring a broad range of organic polymers to fabricate thin fibers and fiber mats, amongst others for electrochemical energy applications . This efficient approach can be used to prepare high surface area electrodes of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on a large scale, which then may be used in fuel cells, lithium ion or redox flow batteries . In our previous work, we demonstrated the use of electrospinning to prepare polyacrylonitrile (PAN)‐based CNFs and their successful application as free‐standing electrode for VRFBs.…”

“…During recent decades, researchers have attempted to apply nanotechnology to various energy and power systems such as electric generators, fuel cells, batteries, and solar cells [1][2][3][4][5]. Nanotechnology has also been implemented to enhance the heat transfer potential of common liquids like water and oil to ameliorate the efficiency of thermal systems; this can be done through adding solid nanoparticles (particles with a size of 1-100 nm) to the liquids.…”
