제목 Reinterpretation of ionomer binder: Effects of ionomer characteristics on performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cell
초록 Interaction between the ionomer binder and catalyst nanoparticles in catalyst ink is well known to play an important role in the performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) because it determines the final micro-morphology of the catalyst layer. Herein we investigated the 3M series of perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomer binders, which have higher polymeric main-chain mobilities, increased solubilities, shorter side-chains, and lower equivalent weights than the Nafion 1100 series of ionomers. The 3M binder with high dispersibility exhibits more developed and connected secondary pore catalyst layer structures and fewer clustered agglomerates; thus, it shows higher performance in a single cell, particularly under conditions of low relative humidity. These insights help us elucidate the reason for the difference in performance by different ionomers and provide the foundation for improving the fuel cell performance of Nafion-type ionomers.
