Cation and Water Diffusion in Nafion Ion Exchange Membranes: Influence of Polymer Structure

Open access
Yeager, H. L., Steck, A.·1981·Journal of The Electrochemical Society

Abstract

Membrane self‐diffusion coefficients for sodium ion, cesium ion, and water have been measured for Nafion® 120 perfluorosulfonate ion exchange membranes. Values have been determined as a function of temperature, and as a function of membrane water content by studying samples in heteroionic forms. The diffusional properties of this polymer are found to differ from those of conventional polystyrenesulfonates in several respects, and the free volume theory which describes ionic diffusion in the latter is inappropriate to treat Nafion. Results indicate that cations may exist in two distinct regions in the polymer; the proportion of total cations in each region may depend on the ions size and charge density. A structural model of Nafion, which correlates the membrane's spectroscopic and diffusional properties, is proposed to explain the results.

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.
