Abstract
Various examples related to resin wafer technologies including ionomers and resin wafers with solution processable ionomers and their production are provided. In one example, a wafer includes an ion conducting layer having ion-exchange resin particles and an ionomer binder coating the ion-exchange resin particles. The ionomer binder can bind the ion-exchange resin particles together in the ion conducting layer. In another example, the wafer can contain water dissociation catalysts for promoting water-splitting in the wafers.
Claims13
A wafer, comprising:
- an ion conducting layer comprising:
- ion-exchange resin particles;
- and
- an ionomer binder coating the ion-exchange resin particles, the ionomer binder binding the ion-exchange resin particles together in the ion conducting layer, wherein the ionomer binder comprises an anion-exchange ionomer (AEI), wherein the AEI comprises quaternary benzyl n-methyl pyrrolidinium chloride poly(arylene ether sulfone).
