New Proton-Conductive Membranes for Electromembrane Processes

Abstract

New hybrid organic-inorganic composites based on sulfur-containing styrene copolymers and allyl glycidyl ether and tetraethoxysilane were obtained by a sol-gel synthesis method. The
 membranes created on the basis of composites have proton- conductive properties and are characterized by a higher heat-exchange capacity compared with commercial membranes as Nafion and MF-4
 SK, enabling to consider them as perspective membrane materials for fuel cells.
