Times Cited Count：15 Percentile：43.24(Polymer Science)Graft-type anion-conducting polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared by the radiation-induced graft polymerization of chloromethylstyrene into poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) films and subsequent quaternization with trimethylamine to evaluate the counter anion effects on fuel cell properties. The hydroxide form was maintained in -saturated water to prevent the bicarbonate formation. The hydroxide form showed conductivity and water uptake four and two times higher than the chloride and bicarbonate forms. The hydroxide form is thermally and chemically less stable, resulting in the tendency to absorb water and to convert to the bicarbonate form.

Anion-exchange membranes (AEM) for hydrazine fuel cells, in which non-expensive platinum free metals are used as a electrode catalysts, can be prepared using radiation techniques. The grafted AEM were prepared by the radiation-induced graft polymerization of chloromethylstyrene (CMS) into poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) films and subsequent quaternization of the grafts with trimethylamine. When the grafted AEM with different counter anions, Cl
, OH, and HCO
(AEM-Cl, AEM-OH, AEM-HCO) were prepared; then, the polymer electrolyte properties were compared with each other. Compared with proton conducting PEM such as Nafion, AEM-Cl showed almost the same conductivity, while the AEM-OH showed two times higher conductivity and water uptake. The conductivity and water uptakes of the grafted AEM increased drastically with the decreases of acidity of the counter anions.

Anion-exchange membranes (AEM) for hydrazine fuel cells, in which non precious metals are used as a electrode catalyst, were prepared using radiation techniques. The grafted AEM were prepared by the radiation-induced graft polymerization of chloromethylstyrene (CMS) into poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) films and subsequent quaternization of the grafts with trimethylamine. When the grafted AEM were treated in 1M-KOH and washed with N
-saturated water, the membranes with chloride form (ETFE-TMAMS(Cl)) can be converted quantitatively to hydroxide form (ETFE-TMAMS(OH)) without the formation of the bicarbonate form. The grafted AEM with IEC of 2.0 mmol/g showed the maximum power density of more than 300 mW/cm
with stability for 400 hours under the operation at 80
C.
