| Abstract: | A lack of knowledge about the features of Nafion confined to ultra-thin films at the interface has motivated additional examinations to promote the performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this work, we demonstrated the utilization of practical film-forming technique inkjet printing to fabricate a Nafion ultra-thin film less than 10nm thickness. However, the well-known “coffee-ring” effect caused poor quality of the printed pattern, which has restricted its application. This report describes a systematic investigation of necessary parameters such as ink concentration, substrate type, pitch, and offset for printing processes. Furthermore, post-treatment in an ethanol vapor atmosphere exhibited a significant effect on flattening and homogenizing the film surface morphology. Results show that the well-distributed Nafion ultra-thin film modified by ethanol vapor annealing manifested much-improved proton conductivity. |
