Porous polyether sulfone for direct methanol fuel cell applications: structural analysis

Porous poly ether sulfone (PES) membranes were prepared using two different solvents which were N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and dimethylacetamide (DMAc) via dry/wet non-solvent phase inversion (NIPS) techniques. PES with the compositions of 18 wt% is prepared for each dope solution. During the membrane c...
