The blend-based polymer electrolyte consisting of chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as host polymers and potassium hydroxide (KOH) as the complexing salt was studied. Polymerelectrolyte were obtained by the casting technique. An attempt was also made to investigate the effect of TiO2 concentration in the chitosan/PVA+KOH polymer electrolyte. The best ionic conductivity values of 1,105 x 10-2 S cm-1 at room temperature were obtained for the sample containing 35%wt of KOH and 1,210 x 10-2 S cm-1 for the sample containing 50% wt TiO2. The polymer electrolyte with good ionic conductivity properties were characterized by thermal analysis (DSC). The glass transition temperature about 75.30 °C for the optimum Chitosan/PVA+KOH

AbstractPerformance and durability of polymer electrolyte membrane are critical to fuel cell quality. As fuel cell vehicles become increasingly popular, membrane fundamentals must be understood in detail. Here, this study used molecular dynamic simulations to explore the morphological effects of perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA)-based membranes on ionic conductivity. In particular, I developed an intuitive quantitative approach focusing principally on hydronium adsorbing to, and desorbing from, negatively charged sulfonate groups, while conventional ionic conductivity calculations featured the use of mean square displacements that included natural atomic vibrations. The results revealed that shorter side-chains caused more hydroniums to enter the conductive state, associated with higher ion conductivity. In addition, the hydronium path tracking showed that shorter side-chains allowed hydroniums to move among host groups, facilitating chain adsorption, in agreement with a mechanism suggested in earlier studies.
