Chapter 5 Micro-structured Nafion membranes for DMFC applications membrane resistance due to a change in structure [22]. According to them, the heat treatment creates smaller ionic clusters, smaller pores and longer or tortuous transport channels. All these factors can cause increase in re- sistance. Liang et al. however, found an increase in concentration of sulfo- nic acid groups at the surface of a Nafion® 115 membrane after heat treat- ment [23]. According to them, the heat treatment (150-230 0C for 1,5 hours) sets free sulfonic groups that were previously buried in the backbone and side chains forming more compact clusters [21]. A high concentration of sulfonic acid groups near the surface decreases the contact resistance be- tween membrane and impedance measuring electrodes causing the conduc- tivity to approach that of the actual bulk conductivity [24]. Concerning our membranes, on first site one would expect increase of membrane resistance due to the densification of the structure and lower amount of water ad- sorbed by the membrane (see earlier section). Nonetheless, the densification itself may also increase the transport of H+ through the membrane due to decrease of tortuosity. The overall observed resistances (Fig. 6) may be re- sult of counterbalancing of these two mechanisms. 1.4 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0.0 Membranes 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
