How are PFSA Membranes Used in Other Catalytic Applications?
Beyond fuel cells, PFSA membranes are also used in other catalytic applications such as:
Electrolyzers: PFSA membranes are used in water electrolyzers to produce hydrogen by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. Their high proton conductivity and chemical stability make them suitable for this application. Redox Flow Batteries: In redox flow batteries, PFSA membranes help to separate the different redox-active species while allowing ion transport, thus enabling efficient energy storage and conversion. Chlor-alkali Process: PFSA membranes are also employed in the chlor-alkali process to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide, leveraging their ionic conductivity and chemical resistance.
