Preparation of TiO₂ nanoparticle dispersed in Nafion membrane and the ionic conduction

Abstract

Structure and ionic conductivity of TiO₂ nanoparticle-dispersed Nafion membrane were studied. The TiO2 nanoparticle was deposited on and into the membrane surface with lower amount than conventional deposition process. The properties of water uptake and ionic conductivity were improved even lower deposition amount ranged around 0.1 wt% of TiO₂ contetnt.
