DEVELOPMENT OF FLEMION~R MEMBRANE AND MEA AT ASAHI GLASS CO., LTD

摘要

Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. (AGC) has been participated in the NEDO's PEFC programs to evaluate the characteristics of Flemion~R for PEFC and to develop the mass-production technology for MEA aiming to get the fabrication rate of 25cm~Wx100cm/min. In the third phase of the PEFC R&D program, AGC started to develop the basic technologies for MEAs with higher power density or thermal stability using the AGC's original fluorochemical materials such as PTFE-fibril reinforced Flemion~R membranes, new perfluorinated ionomers with higher ion exchange capacity or higher thermomechanical stability.
