Nafion/Proton Exchange Membrane electrolysis
I have a 10x10cm square of nafion 117 that I got from FuelCellsEtc a while ago, but so far it has sat in my laboratory doing nothing. I originally got
it after reading an article on bacterial fuel cells using H2O2 as a product of bacterial respiration, although I have also been thinking about making
a super simple cell that just runs on plain water without an electrolyte (My current understanding is that PEM's make this possible). I may also
decide to use it as a hydrogen fuel cell if possible. Does anyone have any ideas regarding what can be accomplished with these membranes or some
practical/fun/interesting uses for it?
Also, I got it much cheaper than other PEM vendors, which has me slightly skeptical of its legitimacy and function so I will probably test it some
time in the next few weeks to make sure it actually works.
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
