Novel proton conducting membranes for the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) are characterized widely by combining methods of physical chemistry, electrochemistry and material science. This work mainly concentrates on the sulphonated poly(ethylene-alt-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE-SA) membrane. Other investigated membranes are poly(vinylidene fluoride)-graft-poly(styrene sulphonic acid) (PVDF-g-PSSA), sulphonated poly(phenylene sulphone) (sPSO2) and the commercial Nafion® membrane as a reference material. The swelling properties of the membranes are investigated in different alcohol – water and H2SO4 – water mixtures. Clear trends are observed for the water / alcohol selectivity: preferential water uptake (alcohol rejection) correlates with high...
