본 연구에서는 Pt-Ru 촉매를 $H_2PtCI_6$ 및 $RuCl_3$ 용액을 화학적 환원에 의해 전도성 고분자인 폴리피롤을 중합시킨 Nafion 막위에 직접 침적시켰다 EDS 분석 결과 Pt 및 Ru 촉매는 Ppy/Nafion 표면에 주로 분포하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 폴리피롤이 중합된 Nanon 위에 침적시킨 Pt-Ru 촉매의 메탄올에 대한 전기화학적 산화특성을 CV로 평가하였다. 메탄을 산화 개시 전위는 Ru촉매에 사용이 증가함에 따라 음전위 방향으로 전이되었다. 따라서 폴리피롤이 중합된 Nafion표면에 Pt-Ru촉매를 직접 함침할 수 있었고. 메탄올 산화 특성을 나타내는 전극을 제작할 수 있었다.

Pt/Nafion self-humidifying membranes for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell(PEMFC) were synthesized via supercritical-impregnation methods. The Nafion 112 membranes were impregnated with Pt(II)$(acetylacetonate)_2$ from a supercritical carbon dioxide $(scCO_2)$ solution at $80^{\circ}C$ and 30MPa. After the impregnation, the pressure decreased slowly by releasing $CO_2$. And the Pt-impregnated Nafion membrane was converted Pt deposited Nafion membrane by reducing agent, sodium borohydride $(NaBH_4)$ with various concentrations under $50^{\circ}C$ and 2 hours. The prepared Pt-impregnated Nafion (Pt/Nafion) composite membrane were investigated by Electron Prove Micro analysis (EPMA) and X-rat Diffraction analysis (XRD) which showed distribution of Pt particle and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) a which revealed morphology of surface of Pt/Nafion composite membrane. The performance of the Pt/Nafion 112 membranes was examined in PEMFC as aself-humidifyin membranes using purpose-built equipment.

Nafion/Pt/Polypyrrole composite membranes were fabricated by chemical in-situ polymerization of pyrrole monomers with Pt precursors in Nafion matrix for DMFC. We demonstrated that positively charged pyrrolinum groups of polypyrrole particles were co-interacted with sulfonic groups of Nafion as verified by FT-IR results. Mutual interaction between $Nafion-SO_3^-$ (or negatively charged Pt precursors) and Polypyrrole$-NH_2^+$ influenced the physical properties of pristine Nafion. Thermal property proton conductivity, methanol permeability, and cell performance of pristine and modified Nafion were analyzed for an application of DMFC membrane. Thermal stabilities of sulfonic groups and side chains in Nafion/Pt/polypyrrole composite membranes were higher than those of Nafion due to mutual interaction between sulfonic groups of Nafion and pyrrolinum groups of polypyrrole. Methanol permeabilities of Nafion/Pt/Polypyrrole composite were reduced more proton conductivities with the increase in the content of Pt particles. As a result of that, the enhancement of cell performance by Nafion/Pt/Polypyrole O2 relative to Nafion was more pronounced under the specific experimental condition such as high temperature and more concentrated methanol solution.

초임계함침법을 이용하여 백금을 나피온 112 막에 함침시켜 자가 가습 막을 제조하였다. 초임계이산화탄소를 용매로 하여 나피온112 막에 $Pt(II)(acac)_2$를 $80^{\circ}C$, 19.8 MPa 조건에서 함침한 후, $NaBH_4$ 용액을 사용하여 $50^{\circ}C$ 에서 2시간 동안의 환원과정을 통하여 Pt 입자로 환원시켜 PEMFC용 백금/나피온 자가-가습 전해질막을 제조하였다. 제조한 백금/나피온 막들을 SEM, EDS, EPMA 등의 분석을 통하여 백금 입자들이 균일하게 분산되어 함침되었음을 확인하였다. 제작한 백금/나피온 막을 무가습 조건에서 구동되는 고분자 전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)의 전해질로 적용하였을 때 $65^{\circ}C$ 구동온도에서 일반적인 나피온 112를 전해질로 사용한 경우보다 향상된 성능을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 폴리피롤로 개질된 Nafion 막에 직접적으로 백금촉매를 담지하는 방법을 제시하고 PEMFC로의 응용을 검토하였다. 개시제로 $FeCl_3$ 및 $Na_2S_2O_8$을 사용하여 피롤을 Nafion 막에 중합하였다. 제저된 PPy/Nafion 복합체 막의 양이온 전도도와 함수율을 측정한 결과, $Na_2S_2O_8$을 사용하여 제조된 복합체 막은 피롤 중합시간이 증가할수록 양이온 전도도와 함수율은 감소하였고, $FeCl_3$의 경우 함수율은 감소하지만 양이온 전도도는 유지되었다. 폴리피롤로 개질된 Nafion 막에 백금 촉매를 화학적 환원법에 의해 함침한 결과, 폴리피롤의 전자 전도성 특성에 의해 백금 담지가 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Pt/PPy/Nafion 전극촉매와 확산 전극으로 구성된 MEA를 단위 연료전지 성능평가를 행한 결과, 0.3 V의 전위에서 $569mA/cm^2$의 전류밀도 값을 갖는 연료전지 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

A novel self-humidifying composite membrane for the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) at low humidity condition was developed. The $Pt/TiO_2 catalyst particles were synthesized via supercritical impregnation methods. Pt precursor was dissolved in supercritical carbon dioxide and impregnated onto $TiO_2$ particles. Pt precursors were platinum(II) acetylacetonate, Dimethyl(1,5-cyclooctadiene) platinum(II) and we controlled the ratio of Pt to $TiO_2$ The impregnated Pt precursor was converted to $TiO_2$ supported Pt nanoparticle under various reducing conditions. $TiO_2$ catalyst particles were dispersed uniformly into the Nafion solution, and then $Pt/TiO_2/Nafion$composite membrane was prepared using solution-cast method. The size, dispersion and content of the platinum had been characterized with Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM), X-ray diffract ion (XRD) and Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectrometer (ICP-AES). The cell performance with the self-humidifying composite membrane was compared with a recast Nafion membrane under both humidified and dry conditions at 65 $^{\circ}C$.

Pt/C 촉매 (20, 40 wt% Pt/C)를 사용하여 고분자 전해질 연료전지의 MEA를 제조하고 각각의 촉매에서 최적의 나피온 이오노머 함량을 알아보았다. 나피온 함량에 따른 MEA의 전기화학적인 성능변화는 단위전지 성능평가, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry(CV)을 통해서 분석하였다. 나피온의 함량에 따라 전지의 활성화 분극, 옴 저항, 물질전달 저항 등의 변화가 나타났다. 이는 전극의 촉매층 내에서 발생되는 전기/이온 전도도 사이의 'trade-off'와 물질전달(물 배출과 반응가스 확산)에 의한 것이며, 대부분 활성화 분극과 물질전달 저항의 변화로 나타났다. 20 wt% Pt/C와 40 wt% Pt/C 촉매에서 최적의 나피온 함량은 각각 35 wt%와 20 wt%로 나타났다. 이는 Pt 중량비에 따른 Pt 입자간의 거리 및 촉매의 비표면적의 차이 때문에 나타난 결과이며 서로 다른 나피온 함량에서 최적의 삼상계면이 형성되는 것으로 판단된다.

A simple drying process was developed for the preparation of a Pt/Nafion self-humidifying membrane to be used for a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Platinum (II) bis (acetylacetonate), $Pt(acac)_2$ was sublimed, penetrated into the surface of a Nafion film and then reduced to Pt nanoparticles simultaneously without any support of a reducing agent in a glass reactor at $180^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. The process was carried out in $N_2$ atmosphere to prevent the oxidation of Pt nanoparticles at high temperature. The morphology and distribution of the Pt nanoparticles were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and we found that the average Pt particle size was ca. 3.7 nm, the penetration depth was ca. $17{\mu}m$. Almost all Pt nanoparticles were formed just beneath the surface and the number density decreased rapidly as the penetration depth increased. To estimate water absorption characteristics of the Nafion membranes, water uptake at an isothermal condition was measured by dynamic vapor sorption (DVS), and it was found that water uptake of the Pt/Nafion membrane was higher than that of the neat Nafion membrane.

$^{195}Pt$ NMR measurements were performed to deduce the variation of local density of states at the Fermi energy ($E_F$-LDOS) at the surface of carbonsupported Pt catalysts due to the addition of $Nafion^{(R)}$ ionomer in the metalelectrode-assembly for fuel cells. The results showed that the EF-LDOS at the surface of Pt particles was enhanced by the addition of $Nafion^{(R)}$ ionomers whereas it was uninfluenced in the inner (bulk) part of the Pt particles. This suggests that the effects of ionomers on the electronic states of the Pt particle surface are related to the electrochemical activity of the catalysts.

Nafion ionomer located in electrode helps to increase the platinum utilization and proton conductivity. To achieve higher performance in PEMFCs, it is important an optimum Nafion content in the electrode. As the platinum loading and fabricated method depend on the optimum Nafion content. In this study, we have examined the interrelationship between platinum loading and Nafion content fabricated by decal transfer method. For electrodes with 0.25 and 0.4 mg/$cm^2$ Pt loading, best performance was obtained at 25 wt.% Nafion ionomer loading. It is also found that MEA with 0.25 mg/$cm^2$ Pt, the optimum Nafion content appears differently at low and high current density.
