  • Polymer electrolyte membrane assembly
    Patent number: 10731635
    Abstract: A polymer electrolyte membrane assembly includes a polymer electrolyte membrane layer positioned between a first electrode and a second electrode. The polymer electrolyte membrane layer can be made from a composition including a polymer matrix, a plasticizer, and an ionic material. The polymer electrolyte membrane assembly may be utilized to harvest electrical energy by allowing the polymer electrolyte membrane assembly to bend to thereby produce a second ion concentration gradient different from an initial ion concentration gradient.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 17, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2020
    Assignee: The University of Akron
    Inventors: Thein Kyu, Camilo Rendon Piedrahita, Jinwei Cao
