MUMBAI, India, Aug. 8 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411007394 A) filed by Chairman, Defence Research & Development Organisation, New Delhi, on Feb. 3, 2024, for 'nanostructured high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane and process for the prepartion thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Rao, Swati; Sawant, Shilpa M; Anubhule, Sonali; and Debdatta, Ratna.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 8, under issue no. 32/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to the development of nanostructured polymer electrolyte membrane (7) for use in an electrochemical device, fuel cell in particular. The nanocomposite membrane is composed of a polymer matrix and a Nanofiller which acts as an ion conductor as well as reinforcement. The Nanofiller is selected from of nanomaterials which have ion conducting properties while the polymer is selected from a group of polymers with high thermal stability. The present invention further relates to fuel cell stack comprising membrane electrode assembly made by sandwiching the nano structured polymer electrolyte membrane (7) as claimed in claim 1 between the two electrodes (12) comprising of a porous carbon substrate and a catalyst layer. The suitability of the nanostructured polymer membrane in Fuel cell stacks of 300 W and 500 W power capacity is also provided."
