Characterization of PBI/Graphene Oxide Composite Membranes for the SO2 Depolarized Electrolysis at High Temperature

In this work, polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes with different graphene oxide (GO) contents (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 wt %) as organic filler have been prepared. The X-ray diffraction confirms the incorporation of the filler into the polymeric membrane. The composite GO-based PBI membranes show better...

The X-ray diffraction confirms the incorporation of the filler into the polymeric membrane. The composite GO-based PBI membranes show better proton conductivity at high temperature (110–170 °C) than the pristine one. Moreover, the hydrophobicity of the PBI membranes is also improved, enhancing water management. The chemical stability demonstrates the benefit of the incorporation of GO in the PBI matrix. What is more, the composite PBI-based membranes show better phosphoric acid retention capability. For the first time, the results of the SO2-depolarized electrolysis for hydrogen production at high temperature (130 °C) using phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes with the different GO contents are shown. The benefit of the organic filler is demonstrated, as H2SO4 production is 1.5 times higher when the membrane with a content of 1 wt % of GO is used. Moreover, three times more hydrogen is produced with the membrane containing 2 wt % of GO compared with the non-modified membrane. The obtained results are very promising and provide open research for this kind of composite membranes for green hydrogen production by the Westinghouse cycleEn este trabajo se han preparado membranas de polibencimidazol (PBI) con diferentes contenidos de óxido de grafeno (GO) (0,5, 1,0, 2,0 y 3,0% en peso) como relleno orgánico. La difracción de rayos X confirma la incorporación del relleno en la membrana polimérica. Las membranas PBI compuestas basadas en GO muestran una mejor conductividad de protones a alta temperatura (110–170 °C) que la prístina. Además, también se mejora la hidrofobicidad de las membranas de PBI, mejorando la gestión del agua. La estabilidad química demuestra el beneficio de la incorporación de GO en la matriz de PBI. Además, las membranas compuestas basadas en PBI muestran una mejor capacidad de retención de ácido fosfórico. Por primera vez, los resultados del SO 2-electrólisis despolarizada para la producción de hidrógeno a alta temperatura (130 °C) utilizando membranas de polibencimidazol dopado con ácido fosfórico (PBI) con los diferentes contenidos de GO. Se demuestra el beneficio del relleno orgánico, ya que la producción de H 2 SO 4 es 1,5 veces mayor cuando se utiliza la membrana con un contenido del 1 % en peso de GO. Además, se produce tres veces más hidrógeno con la membrana que contiene 2 % en peso de GO en comparación con la membrana no modificada. Los resultados obtenidos son muy prometedores y abren la posibilidad de investigar este tipo de membranas compuestas para la producción de hidrógeno verde por el ciclo de Westinghouse.MDPI202220222022info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10578/30067reponame:RUIdeRA.
