Electrospun Nafion/PVDF single-fiber blended membranes for regenerative H₂/Br₂ fuel cells

Journal Article Woo Park, Jun ; Wycisk, Ryszard ; Lin, Guangyu ; ... - Journal of Membrane Science

Nafion® perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) were electrospun simultaneously as a polymer solution mixture using a single needle spinneret. The nanofiber morphology was highly unusual, with bundled 2–5 nm fibril strands of Nafion and PVDF aligned along the fiber axis. Membranes were made from fiber mats by a simple hot-pressing step, followed by thermal annealing, where the fibril morphology of Nafion and PVDF in the original nanofibers was retained in the membrane. The PVDF component in the final membrane served three roles, as an electrospinning carrier polymer for PFSA, a mechanical reinforcement, and a hydrophobic (uncharged) component tomore »« less

Electrospun Nafion^®/Polyphenylsulfone composite membranes for regenerative Hydrogen bromine fuel cells

Journal Article Park, Jun ; Wycisk, Ryszard ; Pintauro, Peter N. ; ... - Materials

Here, the regenerative H₂/Br₂-HBr fuel cell, utilizing an oxidant solution of Br₂ in aqueous HBr, shows a number of benefits for grid-scale electricity storage. The membrane-electrode assembly, a key component of a fuel cell, contains a proton-conducting membrane, typically based on the perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomer. Unfortunately, the high cost of PFSA membranes and their relatively high bromine crossover are serious drawbacks. Nanofiber composite membranes can overcome these limitations. In this work, composite membranes were prepared from electrospun dual-fiber mats containing Nafion^® PFSA ionomer for facile proton transport and an uncharged polymer, polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), for mechanical reinforcement, and swelling control.more »« less

Preparation of Porous Nanofibers from Electrospun Polyacrylonitrile/Polyvinylidene Fluoride Composite Nanofibers by Inexpensive Salt Using for Dye Adsorption

The high surface area of porous nanofibers enhances their performance for many applications. The present study investigated electrospinning and dye adsorption properties of polymeric nanofibers which were porous by various types of salts. The salt/polyacrylonitrile/polyvinylidene fluoride composite nanofibers were electrospun, and the inexpensive salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO{sub 3}), or calcium chloride (CaCl{sub 2}) was used to manufacture the porous fibers. Subsequently, the salt was removed by a selective dissolution, and salt extraction of nanofibers was performed with the solution of hydrochloric acid (10 wt%). Salt/PVDF/PAN and porous PVDF/PAN composite nanofibers have been applied to dye adsorptionmore »« less

Electrospun Hybrid Perfluorosulfonic Acid/Sulfonated Silica Composite Membranes

Journal Article Santos, Leslie ; Powers, Devon ; Wycisk, Ryszard ; ... - Membranes

Electrospinning was employed to fabricate composite membranes containing perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomer, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) reinforcement and a sulfonated silica network, where the latter was incorporated either in the PFSA matrix or in the PVDF fibers. The best membrane, in terms of proton conductivity, was made by incorporating the sulfonated silica network in PFSA fibers (Type-A) while the lowest conductivity membrane was obtained when sulfonated silica was incorporated into the reinforcing PVDF fibers (Type-B). A Type-A membrane containing 65 wt.% PFSA with an embedded sulfonated silica network (at 15 wt.%) and with 20 wt.% PVDF reinforcing fibers proved superior tomore »« less

Impact of Polyvinylidene Fluoride on Nanofiber Cathode Structure and Durability in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Journal Article Slack, John J. ; Brodt, M. ; Cullen, David A. ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society (Online)

The impact of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a binder component on the durability of Pt/C cathodes in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell membrane-electrode-assembly (MEA) during a carbon corrosion accelerated stress test (AST) was examined using electrochemical fuel cell data and visual inspection/analysis of the cathode morphology via electron-microscopy. Electrospun nanofiber cathode mat MEAs with a Nafion*/PVDF or Nafion/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) binder or a slurry cathode MEA with neat Nafion or a Nafion/PVDF binder were investigated. The presence of PVDF had profound effects on the structure and chemical/electrochemical properties of a fuel cell cathode; its hydrophobic properties slowed the ratemore »« less
