Water Uptake of Perfluorosulfonic Acid Membranes from Liquid Water and Water Vapor
Open accessAbstract
The water uptake of several perfluorosulfonic acid membranes from liquid water over the temperature range 25 to 130°C and from water vapor at 80°C was determined. For water uptake from liquid water, the water uptake depended on the immersion temperature, the ion exchange capacity of the membrane, and the pretreatment of the membrane. The effects of pretreatment were not significant at immersion temperatures higher than 100 to 110°C. For water uptake from water vapor at 80°C, the sorption isotherms were similar in shape to those reported by previous investigators for 18.5 to 30°C, although the water uptake at 80°C was less than that reported for the lower temperatures. The water uptake from water vapor of some membranes that have been found to give relatively good performance when used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells was higher then that observed with, e.g. , Nafion®117.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
