Abstract

Confidence in the potential of hydrogen as an energy vector and fuel bring the opportunities for enhancing electrolyzer performance. The aim of this paper is to develop new polymer nanocomposites as electrolyte membranes for PEM-electrolyzer. A series of nanocomposite membranes, including GEFC/TiO2, GEFC/CNTs, and GEFC/TiO2CNTs have been developed and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and AFM. The application of polymer nanocomposite membranes in electrochemical cells for water electrolysis was investigated. Experimental results obtained with respect to performance are reported and discussed related to GEFC membrane.
