Article Synopsis
- Proton-conducting ionomers are essential in electrochemical energy storage, and their performance is affected by the working environment, particularly in bio-fuel cells with separator membranes.
- This study investigates the hydrolytic stability, conductivity, and mechanical properties of various proton exchange membranes made from sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and sulfonated poly(phenyl sulfone) (SPPSU) in phosphate buffer solutions.
- Findings indicate that adjusting the casting solvent and applying crosslinking treatments, or blending the two ionomers, can enhance membrane stability; the performance of these membranes differs significantly from Nafion.
