Problems solved by technology

However, fluorine ion conductors are poor in mechanical strength, so there is a problem that, when used for a long time, pinholes are generated, thereby reducing energy conversion efficiency
In order to improve the mechanical strength, it has been attempted to use a fluorine ion conductor with a higher film thickness; however, in this case, there are problems in that the resistance loss increases and the use of expensive materials increases, leading to a decrease in economic efficiency
However, due to their surface properties, hydrocarbon-containing ion conductors cannot be effectively used in printing methods

preparation example Construction

[0078] A method of producing a polymer electrolyte membrane according to another embodiment of the present invention includes: a step of forming a hydrocarbon-containing ion conductive layer; and a step of discontinuously dispersing a fluorine-containing ion conductor on the hydrocarbon-containing ion conductive layer.

[0079] In one or more exemplary embodiments, the method of manufacturing a polymer electrolyte membrane may include: a step of preparing a porous substrate; a step of filling the pores of the porous substrate with a hydrocarbon-containing ion conductor; a step of forming a hydrocarbon-containing ion-conducting layer on the lower surface; and a step of discontinuously dispersing a fluorine-containing ion-conducting layer on the hydrocarbon-containing ion-conducting layer.

[0080] Hereinafter, a method for producing a polymer electrolyte membrane will be described in the case of a reinforced membrane including a porous substrate, but the method for producing a p...

Embodiment 1

[0108] S-PEEK (sulfonated polyether ether ketone) was dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), thereby preparing a 10 wt % ion conductor solution. The ion conductor solution was coated on a glass substrate. The coated layer was dried at 50° C. for 24 hours. Then, the coating layer was separated from the glass substrate again, thereby forming a hydrocarbon-containing ion-conductive layer having a thickness of 20 μm.

[0109] A solution for forming a fluorine-containing ion conductor was prepared by adding 5% DMF to an IPA dispersion containing 10% Nafion. The fluorine-containing ion conductor was formed by spraying the solution for forming the fluorine-containing ion conductor onto the surface of the hydrocarbon-containing ion-conducting layer, followed by drying at 80° C. for 10 hours.

[0110] On the other hand, the electrode was prepared by coating the electrode slurry containing Nafion binder on the PI film, and then cut it into 5×5 cm 2 size of. The electrode thus pr...

Embodiment 2

[0112] A membrane electrode assembly was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the fibrous fluorine-containing ion conductor was discontinuously dispersed in the hydrocarbon-containing on the surface of the ion-conducting layer.
