AbstractA series of novel crosslinked polymer electrolyte membranes were successfully prepared based on the modification of a hyperbranched poly(amidoamine) with terminal vinyl groups. The membranes possessed the different contents of proton-generating sites (i.e., protonated tertiary amine groups) and triflate (Tf2N-) in the crosslinked network. They showed good mechanical and thermal stability. The water uptakes of them were ca. 8.4-24.5%. Their proton conductivity was of the order of ca. 10-5-10-2 S/cm in the range of 30-80 °C, and the proton conductivity increased with improving the protonation ratio. AFM results disclosed the micro-phase separation of the hydrophilic proton-generating sites and the hydrophobic domains of Tf2N- ions. The resulting locally continuous hydrophilic clusters could provide proton transport channels to produce the high proton conductivity. This kind of polymer electrolyte membranes may have potential applications in PEFCs and other electrochemical fields.

Polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) with good properties are essential for the improvement of electrochemical operations. The increase in properties of polymer electrolyte membranes will develop the performance of polymer electrolyte membranes in the fuel cells. The importance of polymer electrolyte membranes is increasing recently due to its activity and simplicity in energy associated applications like automobiles and various portable applications. PEM has various properties like proton conductivity, chemical stability, mechanical properties, thermal stability and so on. These properties are enhanced and influenced by various factors like morphology, the molecular weight of the membranes, chemical structures, cross linkages etc. The present chapter attempts to summarize about the properties of polymer electrolyte membrane involved in the different types of electrochemical utilizations. Keywords: Polymer electrolyte membrane, fuel cells, morphology, proton conductivity, chemical structure.
