Abstract

Proton exchange membrane composed of PVA/PAM/ZrP was prepared and effect of PAM and ZrP contents on properties and performance of the membrane were investigated. PAM as a crosslinking agent was mixed into PVA solution with different concentration (7∼11 wt%) and the PVA/PAM solution was cast to prepare PVA/PAM crosslinked membrane. The membrane was treated in the solution of zirconyl chloride and phophoric acid to make a PVA/PAM/ZrP composite membrane. Methanol permeability, ion conductivity, swelling and ion exchange capacity of the membranes with different ZrP concentration were $10^{-8}∼l0^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/sec, $10^{-3}~10^{-2}$ S/cm, 0.26∼1.17 g $H_2O$/g membrane and 2.59∼5.1 meq/g membrane, respectively. Hethanol permeability and ion conductivity of the PVA/PAM/ZrP membrane were improved by 18% and 23%, respectively, compared to those of the PVA/PAM membrane.

본 연구는 직접메탄을 연료전지(Direct Methanol Fuel Cell)에 적용가능한 양이온교환막 개발에 관한 것으로 PVA/PAM/ZrP 막을 제조하여 PAM, ZrP의 함량 및 농도 변화에 따른 막의 특성을 연구하였다. PVA/PAM/ZrP 막은 PVA에 가교제인 PAM의 함량을 7∼11 wt%로 증가시켜 제조하였으며 그 각각의 막에 8$0^{\circ}C$에서 zirconyl chloride와 Phosphoric acid solution에 침적시켜 제조하였다. ZrP의 농도를 1, 2 M로 변화시켜 메탄을 투과도, 이온전도도, 함수율 및 이온교환용량을 측정하였다. PVA/PAM/ZrP 막의 메탄올 투과도는 10/^{-8}∼l0^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/sec, 이온전도도는 $10^{-3}~10^{-2}$ S/cm 정도 나타내었으며 함수율은 0.26∼l.17 g $H_2O$/g membrane, 이온교환용량은 2.59∼5.1 meq/g membrane의 결과를 보였는데 이는 PVA/PAM 막과 비교하여 메탄을 투과도, 이온전도도는 각각 18%, 23% 정도 증가한 것으로 관찰되었다.
