INORGANIC-ORGANIC HYBRID MEMBRANE FOR IONIC INTERCHANGE, PREPARATION THEREOF AND USE IN ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICES

摘要

Organic-inorganic hybrid membrane characterized in that it comprises a polymer matrix prepared from natural rubber prevulcanized latex and several inorganic proton conductors, which can act as a separator and solid electrolyte in electrochemical devices such as, sensors and separators of gases, batteries or fuel cells. All this gives them excellent mechanical properties, in particular in stretching to breaking point, flexibility which is much superior to that of its competitors, and unsurpassable elasticity. The production process is rapid and simple it does not require high temperatures or pressures, so that it does not involve high energy costs. In addition, no solvents are required, meaning that it is not pollutant and also it is much more economical.
