Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing proton exchange membranes from modified bacterial cellulose membranes and an application thereof. The method comprises the following steps that: (1) the bacterial cellulose membranes are taken to be flushed, residual culture medium impurities are removed, then, the bacterial cellulose membranes are placed in alkaline solution for water bath treatment for 0.5 to 2h until the bacterial cellulose membranes become white and semitransparent, the bacterial cellulose membranes are then flushed and is boiled for 0.5 to 2h, and the bacterial cellulose membranes are taken out to be flushed until the pH value of the bacterial cellulose membranes is neutral; and (2) the bacterial cellulose membranes with the neutral surface pH value are soaked in superfluous inorganic acid or organic acid, and the proton exchange membranes are obtained through drying. The prepared modified bacterial cellulose proton exchange membranes are used for being assembled into fuel cells. The preparation process is simple, the cost is low, the environment pollution is little, and the cellulose membranes have higher proton conductivity and better thermal stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation and application of proton exchange membranes, in particular to a method for preparing proton exchange membranes by modifying bacterial cellulose membranes and its application in fuel cells. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that continuously converts the chemical energy in the continuously supplied fuel and oxidant into electrical energy. Fuel cell is a new type of environmentally friendly chemical power source, which has the advantages of not being limited by the Carnot cycle, high energy conversion efficiency, low operating noise, high reliability, convenient maintenance, and easy availability of fuel.
