Abstract EN
Polyelectrolyte membrane (PEM) is an important part of PEM fuel cell.
Nafion is a commercially known membrane which gives the satisfactory result in PEM fuel cell operating at low temperature.
Present research paper includes functionalization of Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) polymer with phosphonic acid group.
The functionalization was done with the help of nickel-based catalyst.
Further, the polymer was characterized by the FTIR, EDAX, DSC, TGA, and 1H NMR, and it was found that PEEK polymer was functionalized with phosphonic acid group with good thermal stability in comparison to virgin PEEK.
Finally, the thin films of functionalized polymer were prepared by solution casting method, and proton conductivity of film samples was measured by impedance spectra whose value was found satisfactory with good thermal stability in comparison to commercially available Nafion membrane.
