A Review on the Fabrication of Electrospun Polymer Electrolyte Membrane for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Table 11
Summary of the effect of electrospinning parameters on the performance of fuel cell in terms of proton conductivity and methanol permeability.
| Parameter increase | Fiber structure | Proton conductivity | Methanol permeability | Remark on methanol permeability |
| Voltage applied | Decrease in fiber diameter, thinner fiber | Increases | Decreases | With contribution of filler within the parent polymer matrices |
| Needle to collector distance | Decrease in fiber diameter | Increases | Decreases | With contribution of filler within the parent polymer matrices |
| Viscosity of dope solution | Fiber without beads, smooth fiber | Increases | Decreases | With contribution of filler within the parent polymer matrices |
