Chapter 2 Dimensionally stable N-PE composite membranes for DMFC applications OCV value of the membrane gets lower. In fact the OCV values correspond to the membrane thickness and follow the order of N117 (185μm) > DE2020 (80μm) > N-PE (26μm) (see Fig. 9a). Chen et al [24] also reported lower OCV for their composite membrane in comparison to the thicker Nafion® mem- brane. Small membrane thickness also leads to a shorter pathway for the protons to pass through the membrane. High proton flux compensates the high methanol flux of the composite membrane and leads to a better overall performance of the composite membrane than N117 and DE2020 mem- branes. 0.9 300 0.8 0.7 0.6 200 0.5 150 0.4 0.3 100 0.2 0.1 50 (a) N1 17 N-PE DE2020 0.0 0 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 Current Density [mA/cm2] 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 Current Density [mA/cm2] Figure 9. Polarization and power density curves of N-PE, N117 and DE2020 membranes (at 1M). In the literature one can find several papers reporting the performance of Nafion® impregnated membranes. The results are not always easy to com- pare with our own, since the experimental conditions differ. For example, Chen et al [24], Lin et al [25] and Huang et al [26] also measured the per- formances of their Nafion® impregnated PTFE (N-PTFE) composite mem- branes and N112 or N117 membranes. Measurements were performed with 2M and 5M methanol solutions which were fed to the anode at a flow rate of 5 ml/min. Dry oxygen was fed to the cathode at a flow rate of 150 ml/min. The temperature of the cell was 70°C for Lin et al [25] and Huang et al [26] and 80°C for Chen et al [24]. Anode and cathode contained 4mg/cm2 Pt-Ru and 2mg/cm2 Pt, respectively.

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
