Abstract

A novel polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) has been developed by combining polyeugenol sulfonate (PES), which is derived from clove oil, SPEEK, and TiO2 for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), its was characterized using various analytical techniques, including FTIR and SEM. Additionally, the membrane's ion proton conductivity (σ) , water(Wupt) and methanol uptake (M upt), Ion exchange capacity(IEC) , and water contact angle(WCA) were tested. The study demonstrated that the PES/SPEEK- TiO2 membrane, containing 3 wt.% PES, 20 wt.% SPEEK, and 5 wt.% TiO2, Showed better results in terms of performance when compared to the Nafion 117 membrane, particularly in terms of IEC, water uptake, proton conductivity, and methanol barrier properties. Overall, the study shows the promising potential of the PES/SPEEK- TiO2 membrane as an efficient PEM for DMFC applications.
