Abstract：

Proton exchange membrane is one of the key materials in the PEMFC. Durability of the proton exchange membranes directly affects the lifetime of the PEMFC. This paper prepared perfluorosulfonate proton enhanced membrane by tape casting. We used ex situ accelerate tests to study membrane degradation, soaking a piece of membrane in Fenton’s regent. The results show that DMR100 exhibited excellent chemical durability. After 24 hours of Fenton accelerated reagent treatment, mass loss rate of DMR100 was 3.96%, proton conductivity > 35 mS / cm (80 ℃, 50% RH), and the fluoride ion release rate was 0.14×10-5 mol·L-1, which is better than the two proton exchange membranes commonly used in the fuel cell industry.  Free radicals such as·OH and·HOO attack the C-O-C bond of the main chain and result in the loss of the polymer repeat units and the degrading the durability of the proton exchange membrane.
