Chapter 3 Impregnated membranes for DMFCs at high methanol concentrations with the experimental conditions used there. Many parameters can influence the proton conductivity i.e. pre-treatment, casting solvent, etc. For example, in literature N,N-Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) was often used as a casting solvent [19, 21], while our membranes were prepared in NMP. Figure 6 shows the proton conductivities of the membranes as a function of methanol concentration. Proton conductivities of SPPEK1.4 and SPPEK1.6 are in the same range for methanol concentration up to 6M. At higher methanol concentration, the proton conductivity of SPPEK1.6 increases sharply, whereas increases modestly for SPPEK1.4. SD measurements show the same effect. The rate of increase is smaller for SPPEK1.4 than SPPEK1.6. It seems that there is a threshold for swelling as well as conductivity at ~6M especially for the SPPEK1.6 membrane. This phenomenon is not observed for the SPPEK-PE impregnated membranes. The conductivity of those membranes is independent of the methanol concentration at around 0.1x10-2 S/cm (Fig. 6) and a factor 3 lower than pure membranes, due to the presence of the non-conductive PE material. For comparison, the proton conductivities of N117 and N-PE membranes are much higher and they are in the range of 5-6x10-2 S/cm and 0.5-3x10-2 S/cm, respectively for methanol concentrations of 1-10M [13]. 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0 Figure 6.

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
