Chapter 2 Dimensionally stable N-PE composite membranes for DMFC applications Chapter 2 Dimensionally stable Nafion-polyethylene composite membranes for direct methanol fuel cell applications M. Hakan Yildirim, Dimitris Stamatialis, Matthias Wessling Abstract Nafion® impregnated Solupor®, microporous UHMWPE film, (N-PE), Nafion®117 (N117) and a membrane prepared using a DE2020 Nafion® dispersion (DE2020) were characterized with respect to their swelling de- gree, methanol cross-over, proton conductivity and DMFC performance at various methanol concentrations in order to understand the effect of im- pregnation of an ion-conductive polymer membrane to the fuel cell perform- ance. Introducing Nafion® into the pores of Solupor® causes reduction of both methanol cross-over and proton conductivity. Low proton conductivity of the N-PE membrane is compensated by its significantly low methanol cross- over and this leads to better DMFC performance at 1 and 6M concentra- tions in comparison to N117 and DE2020 membranes. In addition to that, N-PE composite membrane has high dimensional stability, low membrane thickness, good performance using less Nafion® ionomer, with reduced cost. In addition to the real fuel cell measurements, characteristic β values of the membranes were also calculated using both thickness dependent and inde- pendent methods. All characteristic values failed to predict the real fuel cell performance and should be used with caution. Yildirim, M.H. et al. J. Membr. Sci., 2008. 321(2): p. 364. 15

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
