Studies of Nafion– RuO2 ∙ xH2O Composite Membranes
Abstract
Nafion/ RuO2∙xH2O composite membranes were prepared by the recast method. The hydration level of RuO2∙xH2O was varied by heat-treatment of commercially available powders, and composite membranes were prepared with various RuO2∙xH2O /Nafion weight ratios. The through-plane conductivity of the membrane was evaluated in a fuel cell test station ( H2∕O2 at 80°C ). The through-plane conductivity decreased from 0.32to0.26Ωcm2 as a result of the …
