Abstract

Perfluorosulfonic acid Nafion membranes are widely used as an electrolyte in electrolysis processes and in fuel cells. Changing the preparation and pretreatment conditions of Nafion membranes allows for the optimization of their properties. In this work, a Nafion-NMP membrane with a higher conductivity than the commercial Nafion® 212 membrane (11.5 and 8.7 mS∙cm−1 in contact with water at t = 30 °C) and a comparable hydrogen permeability was obtained by casting from a Nafion dispersion in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Since the ion-exchange capacity and the water uptake of these membranes are similar, it can be assumed that the increase in conductivity is the result of optimizing the Nafion-NMP microstructure by improving the connectivity of the pores and channels system. This leads to a 27% increase in the capacity of the membrane electrode assembly with the Nafion-NMP membrane compared to the Nafion® 212 membrane. Thus, the method of obtaining a Nafion membrane has a great influence on its properties and performance of fuel cells based on them.
