Proton-exchange Sulfonated Poly（ether ether ketone）/Sulfonated Phenolphthalein Poly（ether sulfone） Blend Membranes in DMFCs

A sulfonated poly（ether ether ketone） （SPEEK） membrane with fairly high degree of sulfonation （DS） swells excessively and even dissolves at high temperature. To solve these problems, sulfonated phenolphthalein poly（ether sulfone） （SPES-C, DS= 53.7%） is blended with the SPEEK matrix （DS= 55.1%, 61.7%） to prepare SPEEKJSPES-C blend membrane. The decrease in swelling degree and methanol permeability of the membrane is dose-dependent. Pure SPEEK （DS = 61.7%） membrane dissolves completely in water at 70℃, whereas the swelling degree of the SPEEK （DS = 61.7%）/SPES-C （40%, by mass） membrane is 29.7% at 80℃. From room temperature to 80℃, the methanol permeability of all SPEEK （DS = 55.1%）/SPES-C blend membranes is about one order of magnitude lower than that of Nafion 115. At higher temperature, the addition of SPES-C polymer increases the dimensional stability and greater proton conductivity can be achieved. The SPEEK （DS = 55.1%）/SPES-C （40%, by mass） membrane can withstand temperatures up to 150℃. The proton conductivity of SPEEK （DS = 55.1%）/SPES-C （30%, by mass） membrane approaches 0.16 S·cm^-1, matching that of Nafion 115 at 140℃ and 100% RH, while pure SPEEK （DS = 55.1%） membrane dissolves at 90℃. The SPEEK/SPES-C blend membranes are promising for use in direct methanol fuel cells because of their good dimensional stability, high proton conductivity, and low methanol permeability.
