Bulk Solid-State Polyantimonic-Acid-Based Proton-Conducting Membranes

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Bulk solid-state polyantimonic-acid-(PAA)-based proton-conducting membranes were manufactured via cold isostatic pressing using an inert polymeric binder. Precursor PAA powder was obtained using stepwise aqueous hydrolysis of antimony pentachloride. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data showed that hydrolysis resulted in crystalline PAA with the pyrochlore structure. The composition of the powder obtained via solid-state synthesis corresponded to sodium antimonate having the ilmenite structure. The logarithm of the conductivity of PAA membranes in air was linearly dependent on inverse temperature in the range 293 – 452 K. Based on XRD and conductivity data, the obtained solid-state PAA-based membranes were prospective proton conductors having a conductivity of 10–4 S/m and an activation energy of conductivity of 0.395 eV.
