Reduction of Methanol Crossover by a Pt Film Directly Sputtered on Nafion Membrane

We quantitatively evaluated the effect of a thin Pt film sputtered on the polymer electrolyte on the methanol crossover. The Pt film brought about around 15 and 30% reduction in the methanol crossover for 6-nm and 30-nm thick films respectively, depending on its thickness. With the aid of FE-SEM, a...

description We quantitatively evaluated the effect of a thin Pt film sputtered on the polymer electrolyte on the methanol crossover. The Pt film brought about around 15 and 30% reduction in the methanol crossover for 6-nm and 30-nm thick films respectively, depending on its thickness. With the aid of FE-SEM, a relatively dense structure with many slender cracks of the Pt-sputtered film has been identified and ATR-FTIR analysis for Pt-sputtered membrane revealed a little change in chemical structure of polymer membrane after sputtering Pt onto the Nafion® membrane. Although the Pt film as a barrier for the mass transport caused an increase in the ohmic resistance of the electrode, it also prevented the methanol crossover in a DMFC.
