수소 여과용 치밀질 membrane의 제조는 기존의 SC($SrCeO_3$)보다 높은 여과특성을 가지는 BC($BaCeO_3$)구조의 재료를 이용하여 시편을 제조하였고, 시편의 물성은 기공율, 수분에 대한 내구성 그리고 여과 특성을 측정하였다. 우선 열적 안정성 및 수분에 대한 내구성 향상은 $Y_2O_3$를 0.1mol첨가 하였을 때 1% 이내의 기공율을 가지고 있었으며 수분에 대한 안정성을 위해 boiling test에서도 균열이 발생되지 않고 안정적인 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 여과 특성을 향상시키기 위해 Ce과 치환이 가능하고 전도성을 향상시킬 수 있는 $Ga_2O_3$, $La_2O_3$을 치환하여 물성을 측정한 결과 $Ga_2O_3$은 0.05, $La_2O_3$ 0.1mol%가 최적이었으며, 이들 중 $Ga_2O_3$가 0.05mol 첨가 되었을 때 가장 높은 이온 전도도 값을 얻었으며, $La_2O_3$이 첨가된 경우가 다음으로 높게 나타났다. 전자 전도성을 높이기 위하여 Pt를 sol로 만들어 나노 입자로 분산 시키는 방법으로 실험을 실시 $500^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 복합전도에 의해 전도도가 향상되어지는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 또한 이들 시편의 여과 특성을 측정한 전도도 측정의 결과와 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Polymer electrolyte membranes containing polysilsesquioxane (PSQ) spheres were prepared with the blend of sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) (60%) and poly(ether sulfone) (PES) (40%). The amount of PSQ spheres was fixed at 10 wt%. The prepared polymer electrolyte membranes were characterized in terms of methanol permeability, proton conductivity, and ion exchange capacity. In all cases, both methanol permeability and proton conductivity of the polymer electrolyte membranes containing PSQ spheres were lower than the values of Nafion 117 and higher than those of SPEEK/PES (6:4) blend without PSQ spheres. The experimental results indicated that the polymer electrolyte membranes containing MS64 and VTMOS spheres were the best choice in terms of the ratio of proton conductivity to methanol permeability.

고분자 전해질 연료전지는 전해질로 고체고분자막을 사용하는 연료전지로 고분자막은 수소 이온의 활발한 전달을 위해 일정량의 수분이 존재해야 한다. 따라서 연료전지의 운전 중에 고분자막은 항상 수화되어 있어야 하며 수분이 부족하게 되면 수소이온 전도도가 떨어지고, 막의 수축으로 인해 전극과 막 계면의 저항이 증가한다. 반대로 수분이 많이 존재하면 촉매 표면에 반응기체의 확산이 어려워져 전지 성능이 감소하게 된다.(중략)

Aromatic copolyamides were prepared and their applicability to proton exchange membrane wasstudied. The copolymer contains thermally stable and mechanically strong poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) segments, and easily processable and good film forming polysulfone segments. For the copolymer, amineterminated sulfonated ether sulfone monomer, m-phenylene diamine, and isophthaloyl chloride were reacted, and the obtained copolymer was transformed into crosslinkable prepolymer by the reaction with acryloyl chloride. The prepolymer was thermally cured and converted into proton exchange membranes for fuel cell application. Each reaction step and the molecular characteristics of precursor copolymers were monitored and confirmed by $^1H$ NMR, FTIR, and titration. The performance of the membranes was measured in terms of water uptake, proton conductivity, and thermal stability. The water uptake, ion exchange capacity (IEC), and proton conductivity of the membranes increased with the increase of sulfonated ether sulfone segment content. Membrane containing 30 mol% sulfonic acid sulfone segment showed 1.57 meq/g IEC value. Water uptake was limited less than 44 wt% and the highest proton conductivity up to $3.93{\times}10^{-2}S/cm$ ($25^{\circ}C$, RH= 100%) was observed.

Aromatic copolyamides were prepared and their applicability to proton exchange membrane was studied. The copolymers contain two segments; thermally stable and mechanically strong poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA), and easily processable and good film-forming polysulfone. For the copolymers, different ratios of amine-terminated sulfonated ether sulfone monomer, terephthaloyl chloride, and p-phenylene diamine were sequentially reacted. The obtained copolymers were mixed with trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether (TMPTGE), thermally cured, and converted into proton exchange membranes for fuel cell application. The reactions at each step and the molecular characteristics of precursor copolymers were confirmed by $^1H$ NMR, FTIR, and titration. The performance of the membranes was measured in terms of water uptake and proton conductivity. The water uptake, ion exchange capacity (IEC), and proton conductivity of the membranes increased with the increase of sulfonated ether sulfone segment content. Membrane containing 60 mol% sulfonic acid sulfone segment showed 1.88 meq/g IEC value. Water uptake was limited less than 110 wt% and the highest proton conductivity was up to $7.4{\times}10^{-2}$ S/cm ($25^{\circ}C$, RH=100%).

Perfluorinated sulfonic acid ionomers (PFSAs) have been widely as solid electrolyte materials for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, since they exhibit excellent chemical durability under their harsh application conditions as well as good proton conductivity. Even PFSA materials, however, suffer from physical failures associated with repeated membrane swelling and deswelling, resulting in fairly reduced electrochemical lifetime. In this study, pore-filling membranes are prepared by impregnating a Nafion ionomer into the pore of a porous PTFE support film and their fundamental characteristics are evaluated. The developed pore-filling membranes exhibit extremely high proton conductivity of about $0.5S\;cm^{-1}@90^{\circ}C$ in liquid water.

The multi-component ceramic proton conductor, $BaZr(Y)O_3-SiO_2-TiO_2-ZrO_2$ (BZY-STZ) and $LaPO_4-SiO_2-TiO_2-ZrO_2$ (LP-STZ), were synthesized by micro-emersion and sol-gel technique. The characterization of proton conductors were carried out using X-ray diffraction(XRD), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), differential thermal analysis(DTA), impedance analysis. The proton conductors indicate the possibility of application for the intermediate temperature up to $700^{\circ}C$.
