Abstract

최근에 직접 액체 연료전지 중에서 직접 개미산 연료전지(Direct Formic Acid Fuel Cells, DFAFC)가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 불소계막을 대신할 저가의 탄화수소막이 DFAFC막으로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 sulfonated poly(etherether ketone ketone, sPEEK)막과 Poly(arylene ether sulfone)(PAES)막을 사용해 Nafion 막과 그 특성을 DFAFC 조건에서 비교하였다. 탄화수소계막의 개미산 투과 전류밀도가 240~250mA/cm2로 불소계인 Nafion 211 막의 600mA/cm2 보다 낮았다. sPEEK MEA(Membrane and Electrode Assembly)와 Nafion 211 MEA의 막 저항이 서로 비슷해 I-V 성능도 거의 같았다. 개미산 투과도가 낮은 sPEEK MEA가 Nafion 211 MEA보다 안정함을 보였다.

Recently, direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFC) among direct liquid fuel cells is studied actively. Economical hydrocarbon membranes alternative to fluorinated membranes for DFAFC’s membrane are receiving attention. In this study, characteristics of sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone, sPEEK) and sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone, PAES) membranes were compared with Nafion membrane at DFAFC operation condition. Formic acid crossover current density of hydrocarbon membranes were lower than that of Nafion 211 fluorinated membrane. I-V performance of sPEEK MEA(Membrane and Electrode Assembly) was similar to that of Nafion 211 MEA due to similar membrane resistance each other. sPEEK MEA with low formic acid crossover showed higher stability compared with Nafion 211 MEA.
