연료전지에서 산소 환원 반응 (ORR)은 전체 반응에서 지배적인 역할을 한다. 또한 서로 다른 물질로 이루어진 막과 바인더 간의 낮은 호환성은 연료전지 효율을 크게 감소시킨다. 이러한 두 가지 문제점을 고려하여, 본 연구에서는 기존의 일반적인 Biphenol 대신 입체적 구조를 갖는 9,9_Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) fluorine를 이용한 고분자를 합성하여 각각의 전극 바인더를 제조하였고, 이를 이용하여 각각의 나피온 막과 탄화수소 막 위에 스프레이 기법으로 MEA를 제조하여 전기화학적 성능 평가를 진행하였다. 그 결과 전류-전압 곡선에서의 0.6 V의 성능이 두 종류의 다른 막을 적용 했을 때 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 탄화 수소 막의 타펠 기울기의 정도가 나피온 막에 비해 현저히 낮았다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서 적용된 아이오노머 바인더가 연료 전지성능 향상에 더 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단 된다.

술폰화 폴리아릴렌에테르술폰(SPAES) 랜덤 공중합체는 고분자 전해질 연료전지에 적용될 때 높은 수소이온전도도, 상대적으로 낮은 생산 단가 그리고 열화학적 저항성등과 같은 장점을 갖는다. 반면, SPAES 공중합체는 가혹한 구동 조건하에서 낮은 화학적 안정성과 치수 불안전성으로 인해 실제 연료전지 막에 직접적으로 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 그에 타당한 해결책은 SPAES 공중합체를 상호 연결된 기공 구조와 높은 열화학적 강도를 가지는 지지체 필름(예 : 전기방사된 폴리이미드 지지체)에 함침시키는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 함침막 제조를 위한 이오노머로 빠른 이온 수송을 위해 높은 자유 체적을 유도하는 회전 그룹을 갖는 SPAES 공중합체를 선택하였다. 제작된 막의 실용가능성은 막 특성화를 통해 평가되었다.

Sulfonated poly (ether sulfone)s containing BFBN were prepared from 2,3-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-butenedinitrile , 4,4-sulfonyldiphenol and sulfonated 4,4'-difluorodiphenylsulfone sodium salt using potassium carbonate, and followed acidification reaction with 1M $H_2SO_4$. BFBN was prepared from 4-fluorobenzylcyanide, $CCl_4$, NaOH using trimethylbenzylammoniumchloride . Sulfonated poly(ether sulfone)s containing BFBN were studied by FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy, and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The water uptake of synthesized S-PBFBN membranes exhibit 31~62% compared with 28% of Nafion 211. The S-PBFBN membranes exhibit proton conductivities ($80^{\circ}C$, RH 100) of 53.8~117.4 mS/cm compared with 137.4 mS/cm of Nafion 211.

The Montmorillonite (MMT) in the polymer matrix is expected to reduce methanol permeability due to the tortous path formed by dispersed silicate layers. However, the polymer composite membranes containing non-proton conducting inorganic particle tend to show low proton conductivity. To solve this problem, we used an ion exchange method to prepare functionalized MMT with various silane coupling agents. The modified MMT was randomly dispersed in sulfonated poly (arylene ether sulfone) (SPAES) matrix to prepare SPAES/modified MMT composite membranes. The performances of hybrid membranes for DMFCs application were investigated. The SPAES/modified composite membrane showed increased proton conductivity compared with the non-modified MMT composite membrane. However, the methanol permeability of the SPAES/modified membrane was higher than that of the non-modified MMT.

Ceria ($CeO_2$) was used to scavenge free radicals which attack the membrane in the polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) circumstance and to increase the duration of the membrane. In order to improve the electrochemical, mechanical and electrocatalytic characteristics, engineering plastic of the sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) as polymer matrix was prepared in the sulfonation reaction of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and the organic-inorganic blended composite membranes were prepared by sol-gel casting method with loading the highly dispersed ceria and cesium-substituted phophomolybdic acid(Cs-MoPA) with cross-linking agent contents of 0.01mL. In conclusion, CL-SPEEK/$Cs_{(2.5)}$-MoPA/ceria(1%) membrane showed the optimum results such as 0.1095S/cm of proton conductivity at $80^{\circ}C$, 2.906meq./g-dry-membrane of ion exchange capacity and mechanical characteristics, and 49.73MPa of tensile strength which were better than Nafion 117 membrane.

Hydrogen as new energy sources is highly efficient and have very low environmental emissions. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an emerging technology that can meet these demands. Therefore, the preparation of stable polymeric membranes with good proton conductivity and durability are very important for hydrogen production via water electrolysis with PEM at medium temperature above $80^{\circ}C$. Currently Nafion of Dupont and Aciflex of Asahi, etc., solid polymer electrolytes of perfluorosulfonic acid membrane, are the best performing commercially available polymer electrolytes. However, these membrane have several flaws including its high cost, and its limited operational temperature above $80^{\circ}C$. Because of this, significant research efforts have been devoted to the development of newer and cheaper membranes. In order to make up for the weak points and to improve the mechanical characteristics with cross -linking, acid-base complexes were prepared by the combination PSf-co-PPSS-$NH_2$ with PEEK-$SO_3H$. The results showed that the proton conductivity decreased in 17.6% and 40% but tensile strength increased in 78% and 98%, about $20.65\;{\times}\;10^6N/m^2$, in comparison with SBPSf/HPA and SPEEK/HPA complex membrane.

Hydrocarbon-based polymer membranes to replace perfluorinated polymer membranes are being continuously researched. However, hydrocarbon-based membranes have a problem in that they are less durable than fluorine-based membranes. In this study, we sought to compare the annealing effect to improve the durability of sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK). After membranes formation, thermogravimetric analysis and tensile strength were measured to compare changes in membranes properties due to annealing. After manufacturing the membrane and electrode assembly (MEA), the initial performance and chemical durability was compared with unit cell operation. During the 24-hour annealing process, the strength increased due to the increase in-S-O-S-crosslinking, and the sulfonic acid group decreased, leading to a decrease in I-V performance. By annealing, the hydrogen permeability was reduced to less than 1/10 of that of the nafion membrane, and as a result, open circuit voltage (OCV) and durability was improved. The SPEEK membranes annealed for 24 hours showed higher durability than the nafion 211 membranes of the same thickness.
