CAREER: Establishing Structure-property Relationships in Anion Exchange Membranes to Empow — NSF Award to University of Alabama Tu

Hydrogen is used as transportation fuel, to produce ammonia for fertilizers, and to upgrade oil for numerous products. This project seeks to lower the cost of producing hydrogen by improving water electrolysis technology. Electrolyzers use ion-conducting membranes as separators. The project will identify relationships

AbstractHydrogen is used as transportation fuel, to produce ammonia for fertilizers, and to upgrade oil for numerous products. This project seeks to lower the cost of producing hydrogen by improving water electrolysis technology. Electrolyzers use ion-conducting membranes as separators. The project will identify relationships between membrane polymer structure of the membrane and its performance in an electrolyzer. These relationships are not well understood. The goal is to design efficient ion-conducti
