Water must be effectively transported and is also essential for maximizing proton conductivity within fuel-cell proton-exchange membranes (PEMs). Therefore, identifying relationships between PEM properties, water transport, and proton conductivity is essential for designing optimal PEMs. Here, we use coherent Raman spectroscopy to quantify real-time, in situ diffusivities of water subspecies, bulk-like and nonbulk-like (interfacial) water, in five different perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) PEMs. Although the PEMs were chemically diverse, water transport within them followed the same rule: Total water diffusivity could be represented by a linear combination of the bulk-like and interfacial water diffusivities. Moreover, the diffusivity of interfacial water was consistently larger than that of bulk-like water. These measurements of microscopic transport were combined with through-plane proton conductivity measurements to reveal the correlation between interfacial water transport and proton conductivity. Our results demonstrate the importance of maximizing the diffusivity and fractional contribution of interfacial water to maximize the proton conductivity in PFSA PEMs.

Nafion-clay nanocomposite membrane has been prepared by dispersing unmodified and acid activated Laponite XLS in Nafion 20% dispersion. The resulting membranes possess better proton conductivity and mechanical strength as compared to the virgin membrane. Acid activation of the nanoclay leads to thein-situgeneration of H3PO4by the hydrolysis of the peptizer present on the surface of the nanoclay. Thein-situgenerated H3PO4helps in improving all the technical properties of the nanocomposite including the water uptake and proton conductivity of the nanocomposite, containing acid activated clay compared to the nanocomposite, containing unmodified clay. The maximum proton conductivity of 270.2 mS/cm is achieved at 110 °C for the nanocomposite membrane containing 3% acid-activated Laponite compared to 136.2 mS/cm for the virgin Nafion. Keywords: Nafion, clay, nanocomposite, peptizer, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (FEMFC), proton conductivity, membrane

Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) modified by SiO2/poly 2-acrylamido 2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (PAMPS) electrolyte membrane (SiO2/PVA-PAMPS ) was prepared by a Sol-gel synthesis in situ technique for DMFC. The influence of the different ratio of AMPS and SiCl4 on the proton conductivity and methanol permeability of these membranes was studied using an impedance analyzer and a gas chromatograph. The results showed that with increasing of the content of silicon dioxide, the SiO2 was homogeneously distributed in the membrane. As the AMPS content increased, the proton conductivity of the SiO2/PVA-PAMPS membranes also increased. The swelling degree of the SiO2/PVA-PAMPS membrane with 30wt% SiCl4 and 20wt% AMPS was 28.79% at 25°C. The membranes possess a methanol permeability of around 10-7 cm2•S-1, which is about one order of magnitude lower than that of Nafion115. These membranes have high selectivity and are promising for use in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC).
