General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.

Application

Nafion™ perfluorinated resin solution is widely used as an electrolytic material. It can be used in the formation of a composite membrane with metal oxides. The membrane further facilitates the formation of chemically stable proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. It may be coated on mesoporous metallic films to improve the detection and selectivity of biomarkers. It may form a composite electrode material with graphene for glucose biosensors.
Used to solubilize carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotube solutions have been explored as amperometric biosensors.
Support material for an integrated system which used solar energy to drive chemical reactions. Acts as a superacid catalyst for organic synthesis. When formed as metal composites, can be used as artificial muscle actuators, solid electrolytes for the analysis of electroactive species in organic media, or as electrodes in organic electrosynthesis.

Materials Issues in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

Fuel cells have the potential to reduce the nation’s energy use through increased energy conversion efficiency and dependence on imported petroleum by the use of hydrogen from renewable resources.

Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cells

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells operate at relatively low temperatures and are composed of two electrodes and a conductive elecrolyte.
