Understanding Morphology and Ion Transport in Novel Poly (cyclooctene) Based Membranes Under Humidified Conditions
Abstract
Anion Exchange membranes have been gaining popularity for their applications in fuel cells, CO2electrolysers, redox flow batteries, etc. The main focus has been in the area of synthesizing new polymers for these applications and understanding their morphological and transport properties under humidified conditions of operations. The main aim is toward increasing the ion transport and minimizing degradation over time. Phase separated morphology is one of the pathways to create defined ionic pathways to increase ion conductivity of the AEMs. Here we report morphological study performed on a polycyclooctene based triblock copolymer AEM, for electrochemical applications.
