Signifcant augmentation of proton conductivity in lowsulfonated polyether sulfone octyl sulfonamide membranesthrough the incorporation of hectorite clay
An innovative methodology was employed to fabricate ion exchange membranes tailored for fuel cell applications. Thisapproach entailed blending low sulfonated polyether sulfone octyl sulfonamide (LSPSO) with Hectorite (Hect) clay atvarying weight percentages (1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 6 wt%). The resultant composite membranes underwent comprehensivecharacterization via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray difraction, scanning electron microscopy, […]
