    membrane in fuel cell applications

## Description

- description: The high ion exchange capacity of sulfonated polyphenylsulfone (SPPSU)
    consists of nanotubular inorganic clay that was developed as a proton exchange
    membrane for fuel cell application. The nanotubular imogolite (Im) was incorporated
    into SPPSU polymer matrix under various loading (0.5 wt%, 1 wt%, and 2 wt%) and
    subjected to thermal annealing up to 180 ºC. Upon heat treating at 180 ºC, SPPSU-Im
    nanocomposite membranes showing homogenous membrane structure and improved water
    uptake at higher water temperature compare to pristine SPPSU membrane. The strength
    of the nanocomposite membrane is decreasing upon the incorporation of the imogolite
    fillers. Hence, at lower relative humidity conditions, the SPPSU-Im nanocomposite
    membrane resulting in six times higher proton conductivity than the SPPSU membrane.
    Furthermore, at 80 ◦C under fully hydrated conditions, 1 wt% of Im incorporate
    into the SPPSU matrix can achieve the maximum power density up to 89.8mW/cm2,
    which is about 16% higher than the maximum power density produce by SPPSU membrane
    in single cell proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system. The results
    indicating that the imogolite reinforced SPPSU polymer matrix shows significant
    improvements on the SPPSU polymer matrix as PEM in fuel cell applications.
