  • Publication number: 20130327702
    Abstract: A structure of an electrochemical separation membrane and a manufacturing method for fabricating the same are disclosed. The structure of an electrochemical separation membrane includes a base-phased polymer part in form of a continuous phase structure, a fabric-supported part distributed in the base-phased polymer part in striped shape to provide mechanic strength thereto, and inorganic particles distributed uniformly in the base-phased polymer part with 0.1 wt %˜50 wt %, wherein the fabric-supported part is a porous structure with a plurality of micro holes such that the base-phased polymer part filled into the micro holes to obtain better adhesive strength, inorganic particles distributed uniformly in the base-phased polymer part to reduce the shrinking of separation membrane and hence improving the thermal stability under high temperature.

  • Publication number: 20130327704
    Abstract: An electrochemical separation membrane and the manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The method includes: a polymer solution preparing step to mix a polymer material, solvent and ceramic precursors thoroughly to form a polymer solution, wherein the polymer material and the ceramic precursors are dissolved uniformly in the solvent; a coating step to coat the polymer solution on a porous base material; a hydrolysis step to cause the porous base material coated with the polymer solution to contact an aqueous solution to hydrolyze the ceramic precursor into ceramic particles; and a drying step to remove the water and the solvent from the porous base material and in order to form the electrochemical separation membrane. The electrochemical separation membrane made of this method have better ion conductivity, interface stability and thermal stability based on the ceramic particles.

  • Patent number: 7687427
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel process for the fabrication of a class of conductive supported electrocatalysts based on transition metals. The electrocatalysts are formed by pyrolysis of an organometallic polymer complex precursor which is the reaction product of transition metal salts and a templating polymer. The electrocatalysts has enhanced catalytic activity, and are useful in the preparation of supercapacitor and fuel cell electrodes, auto-thermal fuel reformer catalysts, oxygen and hydrogen sensors, zinc-air battery electrode and oxidation catalysts.
