  • Patent number: 11817608
    Abstract: Disclosed are: a polymer electrolyte membrane which can prevent ionic conductor loss even upon the occurrence of chemical degradation in the ionic conductor according to long term use and thus can be significantly improved in chemical durability; a manufacturing method therefor; and an electrochemical device comprising same. The polymer electrolyte membrane of the present disclosure comprises a polymer electrolyte material. The polymer electrolyte material comprises an ionic conductor and a crosslinker unbound to the ionic conductor. The crosslinker has at least one cross-linkable functional group which can couple with the ionic conductor that has been degraded, thereby causing crosslinking with the ionic conductor.

  • Publication number: 20220238901
    Abstract: Disclosed are: a reinforced composite membrane-type polymer electrolyte membrane which can prevent the loss of an ion conductor even when the ion conductor is chemically deteriorated due to long-term use, and thus has remarkably enhanced mechanical and chemical durability; a method for manufacturing same; and an electrochemical device comprising same. The polymer electrolyte membrane of the present invention comprises: a non-crosslinked ion conductor; and a porous support having a plurality of pores filled with the ion conductor, wherein the porous support comprises a polymer having at least one crosslinking functional group, and the crosslinking functional group is a functional group which, when the ion conductor is deteriorated, can cause crosslinking of the ion conductor by binding to the deteriorated ion conductor.

  • Publication number: 20210242481
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymer electrolyte membrane, a manufacturing method therefor, and a membrane electrode assembly comprising same, the polymer electrolyte membrane comprising: a first porous support having first pores filled with a first ion conductor; and a second porous support having at least one second pore filled with the first ion conductor and third pores filled with a second ion conductor, wherein the first and second porous supports are in contact with each other. The polymer electrolyte membrane has enhanced performance through the improvement of impregnation properties and enhanced mechanical and chemical durability through the minimization of hydrogen permeability and dimensional change. Furthermore, an interface between the ion conductor and the support in the polymer electrolyte membrane can be stably maintained for a long time.
