Abstract

To evaluate the possibility as a separator in alkaline water electrolysis, the thermal stability, ion conductivity and durability of 5 commercially available anion exchange membranes were tested. The thermal stability of FAAM-PK-75 and FAAM-40 membrane analyzed by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) showed good performance compared to the other three types of AEM, AHO, and AHA membrane. The ion conductivity of AEM membrane measured in 7 M KOH solution at 25℃ and 80℃ had a higher value of about 4~17 times compared to the other membranes. The durability of FAAM-PK-75 tested in 7 M KOH solution at 25℃ was high compared to the other membranes.

알칼리 수전해용 격막으로 사용가능성을 평가하기 위해 5종류의 상용 음이온교환막의 열적안정성, 이온전도도, 내구성을 평가하였다. TGA (thermo-gravimetric analysis)로 분석한 열적안정성은 FAAM-PK-75와 FAAM-40 막이 다른 3종류의 AEM, AHO, AHA 막과 비교하여 좋은 성능을 보였다. 25℃와 80℃, 7 M KOH 수용액에서의 이온전도도는 AEM막이 다른 막과 비교하여 약 4~17배 높은 값을 보였다. 25℃, 7 M KOH 수용액에서 측정한 내구성은 FAAM-PK-75막이 다른 막과 비교하여 안정하였다.
