  • A new class of nanocomposite membrane has been developed by incorporating cross-linked polysiloxane-bearing zirconium-phosphate nanoplates into Nafion matrix via sol-gel process followed by solution casting and sulfonating. The chemical structures of the composite membranes were confirmed by FT-IR, 31P-MAS NMR, and XPS spectra. SEM characterization was used to observe the morphology of the composite membranes. All the composite membranes were characterized in terms of IEC, water uptake, methanol permeability, proton conductivity, state of water, and oxidative stability. Best results were obtained on the C composite membrane recast from polysiloxane-zirconium phosphate/Nafion (20wt % solid content) with a polysiloxane: zirconium phosphate molar ratio of 1:1. The methanol permeability of the C composite membranes is 5.5x10-7 cm2s-1 at 30oC. Its proton conductivity is 0.050 S/cm at 30oC, 0.164 S/cm at 95oC, in 95%RH, and 1.1×10-2 S/cm at 80oC in 30%RH which outperformed the pure Nafion 117 membrane, whose conductivity is 0.026 S/cm at 30oC, 0.071 S/cm at 95oC, in 95%RH, and 5.1×10-3 S/cm at 80oC in 30%RH, under the same condition. The C composite membrane also shows acceptable oxidative stability in Fenton’s reagent at 80oC for 1 h which retains 98.81% of its original weight after testing and only declines of 11% after testing for 125 hours. The PEM fuel cells assembled with C composite membrane shows good performance at 100oC of 499.9mW/cm2. This work demonstrates the promising potential of the modified polysiloxane-zirconium phosphate/Nafion composite membranes for the development of high-performance and high-stability PEM fuel cells at high temperatures.
