Abstract

The mass transport represented by the self-diffusion coefficient (D) of methanol and two alternative fuels, dimethyl oxalate (DMO) and ethylene glycol (EG), in new low-cost nanoporous proton conducting membrane (PCM) was studied to aid in the development of the Direct Oxidation Fuel Cell (DOFC). As replacement fuels for methanol, EG and DMO offered lower membrane permeability indicated by the lower values of CH self-diffusion coefficient obtained for the equilibrated NP-PCM's. Electrochemical measurements indicated that the NP-PCM exhibit low crossover while retaining high protonic conductivity. Of the five NP-PCM investigated, one particular membrane that exhibited low crossover in electrochemical evaluations gave the highest OH and CH self-diffusion values almost independent of fuel type.
