Final Report - Membranes and MEA's for Dry, Hot Operating Conditions

Technical Report Hamrock, Steven J

The focus of this program was to develop a new Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) which can operate under hotter, dryer conditions than the state of the art membranes today and integrate it into a Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA). These MEA's should meet the performance and durability requirements outlined in the solicitation, operating under low humidification conditions and at temperatures ranging from -20ºC to 120ºC, to meet 2010 DOE technical targets for membranes. This membrane should operate under low humidification conditions and at temperatures ranging from -20ºC to 120ºC in order to meet DOE HFCIT 2010 commercialization targets for automotive fuelmore »« less

Center for Intelligent Fuel Cell Materials Design

Technical Report Santurri, P.R., ; Hartmann-Thompson, C. ; Keinath, S.E.

The goal of this work was to develop a composite proton exchange membrane utilizing 1) readily available, low cost materials 2) readily modified and 3) easily processed to meet the chemical, mechanical and electrical requirements of high temperature PEM fuel cells. One of the primary goals was to produce a conducting polymer that met the criteria for strength, binding capability for additives, chemical stability, dimensional stability and good conductivity. In addition compatible, specialty nanoparticles were synthesized to provide water management and enhanced conductivity. The combination of these components in a multilayered, composite PEM has demonstrated improved conductivity at high temperaturesmore »« less

Florida Hydrogen Initiative

Technical Report Block, David L

The Florida Hydrogen Initiative (FHI) was a research, development and demonstration hydrogen and fuel cell program. The FHI program objectives were to develop Florida?s hydrogen and fuel cell infrastructure and to assist DOE in its hydrogen and fuel cell activities The FHI program funded 12 RD&D projects as follows: Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure and Rental Car Strategies -- L. Lines, Rollins College This project analyzes strategies for Florida's early stage adaptation of hydrogen-powered public transportation. In particular, the report investigates urban and statewide network of refueling stations and the feasibility of establishing a hydrogen rental-car fleet based in Orlando. Methanol Fuelmore »« less

Low-Cost Proton Conducting Membranes for PEM Fuel Cells

Technical Report Hu, Hongxing

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) is the key component in PEM fuel cells that critically determines the system performance and its economic viability. Presently, the state-of-the-art PEMs, such as Nafion membranes, are based on perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers. But these ionomer materials are expensive, particularly at the low volumes that will be needed for initial commercialization. Besides, they are not suitable for fuel cells operated beyond 100°C, because of the limitations connected to the humidification requirement of such membrane materials, limiting the maximum operating temperature to about 90°C. Fuel cells for transportation applications are required to operate in a wide temperaturemore »« less
Alternate Fuel Cell Membranes for Energy Independence

Technical Report Storey, Robson, F. ; Mauritz, Kenneth, A. ; Patton, Derek, L. ; ...

The overall objective of this project was the development and evaluation of novel hydrocarbon fuel cell (FC) membranes that possess high temperature performance and long term chemical/mechanical durability in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells (FC). The major research theme was synthesis of aromatic hydrocarbon polymers of the poly(arylene ether sulfone) (PAES) type containing sulfonic acid groups tethered to the backbone via perfluorinated alkylene linkages and in some cases also directly attached to the phenylene groups along the backbone. Other research themes were the use of nitrogen-based heterocyclics instead of acid groups for proton conduction, which provides high temperature, lowmore »« less
