Preparation and physical properties of (PVA)0.7(NaBr)0.3(H3PO4)M solid acid membrane for phosphoric acid – Fuel cells

Abstract: A solid acid membranes based on poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), sodium bromide (NaBr) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4) were prepared by a solution casting method. The morphological, IR, electrical and optical properties of the (PVA)0.7(NaBr)0.3(H3PO4)xM solid acid membranes where x = 0.00, 0.85, 1.7, 3.4, 5.1 M were investigated. The variation of film morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies. FTIR spectroscopy has been used to characterize the structure of polymer and confirms the complexat… Show more

“…Generally, according to Debye relations, the decrease of ' and " with frequency can be associated to the inability of dipoles to rotate rapidly leading to a lag between frequency of oscillating dipole and that of the applied field. While, the material electrode interface polarization of the composites masks the other relaxation processes at low frequencies [17][18].…”

“…A commonly used proton exchange membrane is Nafion, which is a perfluoro sulfonic acid polymer. The use of Nafion is based on its good thermal and chemical stability [4] and high ionic conductivity (~10 −2 S.cm −1 ) at temperatures below 100°C [2]. However, the membrane has several disadvantages, such as high cost; high methanol crossover, which makes it incompatible for application in a methanol fuel cell; and environmental unfriendliness, as wastes are generated in its synthesis process [5].…”
