Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

Aquivion^® PFSA dispersions are derived from a short-side-chain (SSC) copolymer of Tetrafluoroethylene and Sulfonyl Fluoride Vinyl Ether (SFVE), CF2=CF2-O-(CF2)2-SO2F, industrially produced by Syensqo Group. The resulting perfluoropolymer features functional groups in their sulfonic acid form (SO3H). Aquivion^® D79-25BS is a perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomer dispersion with an Equivalent Weight (EW) of 790 g/eq. The EW of an ionomer represents the weight of the polymer required to provide 1 mole of exchangeable protons, inversely related to the ion exchange capacity (IEC). This dispersion is chemically stabilized, with a significant proportion of polymer end groups converted to an inert trifluoromethyl (CF3) configuration, enhancing the polymer′s lifetime. Aquivion^® D79-25BS contains a polymer concentration of 25 wt% in a solvent system that is over 99% water and free of ethers.

Anwendung

The superacidity of Aquivion^® PFSA resins, along with their high functional group concentration and electrochemical stability, makes them essential components in heterogeneous catalysts. Because of their excellent proton conductivity at low water uptake, these resins are used frequently in research as ionomer binders within the catalyst layers of proton exchange membranes (PEM) for fuel cells and water electrolyzers. Additionally, these resins are utilized in the fabrication of separator membranes (PEMs), either as stand-alone materials or reinforced with PTFE. They are also sometimes applied to the surfaces of specialty fluoropolymers to enhance wettability. Aquivion^® D87-25BS, characterized by its short side chain and moderately high equivalent weight, is a promising ionomer for balancing catalyst activity and stability. Ionomers with higher equivalent weights, such as D87-25BS, demonstrate greater durability in long-term electrochemical stability tests. D87-25BS is commonly employed as a binder with platinum group catalysts on carbon supports for oxygen evolution or oxygen reduction reactions due to its resistance to highly aggressive chemical environments, including low pH, strong oxidants, and strong reducing agents.

Leistungsmerkmale und Vorteile

• Very high concentration of functional groups for strong proton (or Na+, K+, Li+, etc.) conductivity
• High softening point for high temperature operation well above 80 ºC
• Strong water retention for better fuel cell operation at low-humidity conditions for membranes or catalyst inks that are utilizing this dispersion material
