Abstract:
Synthesis and characterization of Nafion/TiO2 membranes whit different solvent (DMF, DMAc, NMP) for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) were investigated in this study. Nafion/ TiO2 nanocomposite membranes have been prepared by solution casting Method. The structures of membranes were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Also water uptake, proton conductivity and ion exchange capacity (IEC) of membranes were measured and compared whit Nafion 112 in microbial fuel cell. The membrane was prepared whit DMF solvent has maximum proton conductivity and best morphology and maximum cell voltage
