| Résumé | Novel sulfonated poly(arylene ether)s, characterized as being highly sterically encumbered, were synthesized for investigation as the ionomer in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) catalyst layers. Catalyst-coated membranes were prepared via their incorporation into alcohol-based catalyst inks, devoid of the high-boiling, polar aprotic solvents typically required for hydrocarbon-based ionomer inks. Catalyst layers thicknesses increased from 8.5 to 9.1 μm when the hydrocarbon ionomer loading was increased from 20 to 40 wt%, but resulted in a 77% loss in pore volume for fully hydrated electrodes. The catalyst layers possessed similar electrochemical surface areas and net ionic conductivity, yet catalyst layers containing 20 wt% ionomer yielded the highest overall fuel cell performance and considerably outperformed catalyst layers prepared from inks that contained high-boiling solvents. |
