Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005076401A1] The invention relates to membranes for fuel cells, which are characterised by a homogeneous absorption and good retention of doping agents and which guarantee a high mechanical stability at high temperatures when doped. Said membranes consist of at least one polymer, whose nitrogen atoms are chemically bonded to a central atom of a derivative of a polybasic inorganic oxo acid. The membranes are produced from polymer solutions that are devoid of water and oxo acid derivatives, by heating the solution that has been introduced into a membrane mould until a self-supporting membrane has been formed and then by tempering the latter. Inventive fuel cells consisting of a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) that comprises an inventive membrane and phosphoric acid as the doping agent have, for example, an impedance of 0.5-1 ohmcm<2> at a measuring frequency of 1000 Hz and at an operating temperature of 160° C and a gas flow for hydrogen of 170 ml/min and for air of 570 ml/min. They can be used as high-temperature polyelectrolyte membrane fuel cells for a working temperature of up to at least 250° C.
