摘要
Imidazole and 1-methyl imidazole (Me-Im) were used as additives in polybenzimidazole (PBI) equilibrated with phosphoric acid (PA), a system shown to be a high-temperature proton-conducting polymer electrolyte. The influence of different concentrations of this additive on the conductivity of these membranes was measured by a four-probe conductivity measurement, at temperatures in the range of 80-200 degreesC, under various humidity conditions. Correlation was found between the conductivity of liquid solutions of concentrated phosphoric acid and that of H3PO4 in the PBI membranes. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
