Abstract
Calcined or pyrolyzed metal compounds immobilized in membranes based on ionic liquids and/or eutectic solvents. The invention relates to new catalytic membranes synthesized from ionic liquids or deep eutectic solvents and oxidized or pyrolyzed immobilized metal compounds in the membranes. The use of these new catalytic membranes in oxidation/reduction reactions, for application in fuel cells and in water electrolyzers for hydrogen production, is described.
Claims15
A process for obtaining proton exchange catalytic membranes comprising the following stages:
- a) mixing at least one metal compound, precursor of a catalyst for reactions of synthesis of H2O from oxygen and hydrogen and decomposition of H2O to generate hydrogen and oxygen, with at least one ionic liquid and/or a deep eutectic solvent, where the metal of the metal compound is neither Au, Pt, Rh, Ru, Ir, Os, nor Pd;
- b) activating the catalyst by calcination and/or pyrolysis at a temperature between 100° C. and 500° C. of the mixture obtained in stage a);
- c) mixing the product obtained in the previous stage with a non-perfluorinated organic polymer by adding a co-solvent to facilitate dissolution;
- d) pouring the previous mixture onto a surface to allow evaporation of the co-solvent and formation of the membrane with the occluded catalyst.
