Abstract

Direct methanol fuel cells(DMFCs) are receiving significant attention in the portable power source and electric vehicular transportation because of its high energy efficiency as liquid fuel, low cost, and no requirement of fuel reforming process. In this study, we synthesized the Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) to evaluate the possibility of use as a proton exchange membrane for DMFC. And poly(vinylidienedifluoride) (PVDF) was used to increase proton conductivity in SPEEK and simultaneously to prevent methanol transport through the cross linked membrane. Furthermore, in order to improve the electrical composite properties for DMFC applications.
