Description
ABSTRACT
Proton conducting membrane (PVC/ZrP) based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) supported with
zirconium phosphate (ZrP) ion-exchanger was synthesized for potential applications in Direct methanol
fuel cells (DMFCs) by filling the pores of a PVC membranes with in-situ grown ZrP particles. Thermal
stability (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), mechanical
strength, Water uptake, methanol uptake, ion exchange capacity and methanol cross-over of the prepared
PVC/ZrP membranes will be studied.
