    • The present invention discloses a composite electrolyte membrane and a method to fabricate it. The composite electrolyte membrane is meant to be used in an electrochemical energy storage or conversion device, including but not limiting to redox flow batteries, fuel cells and electrolyzers.
      The composite electrolyte membrane is produced according to a method for laminating a polymer electrolyte film onto a porous support layer for generating a composite membrane for energy storage devices; comprising the following steps:
      a) placing the polymer electrolyte film on a first flat support plate;
      b) placing the porous support layer on the polymer electrolyte film;
      c) wetting the porous support layer with a first solution comprising a first solvent, which is a high boiling point solvent, used to partially solubilize the polymer electrolyte film allowing its solubilized fraction to flow into the pores of the porous support and a second solvent, which is a low boiling point solvent, to prevent excessive solubilization of the polymer electrolyte film, wherein the solubilized fraction of the polymer electrolyte film forms
      an interlocking interface with a superficial part of the porous support layer;
      d) placing a second flat support plate, preferably with two tissues to absorb solvent excess, on the wetted porous support layer to form a stack having sandwiched the polymer electrolyte film, the interlocking interface and the porous support layer between the first and the second flat support plates;
      e) hot-pressing the stack at an elevated temperature and an elevated pressure for a pre-defined amount of time; and
      f) cooling down the hot-pressed stack and removing the first and the second flat support plate to isolate the composite membrane comprising i) the polymer electrolyte film, ii) the now solidified and formerly solubilized fraction of the polymer electrolyte film penetrated into the pores of the porous support layer forming a solidified interlocking interface and iii) the porous support layer.

    • It is the objective of the present invention to provide a method for preparing a polymer membrane for a polymer electrolyte water electrolyser in order to achieve thin membranes with high crossover suppression and without showing a negative impact on the cell performance.
      This objective is achieved according to the present invention by a method to prepare an ionomer of an ion exchange membrane (anion or cation exchange) with a recombination catalyst to prevent gas crossover of species, such as hydrogen and/or oxygen, to anodic and cathodic cell compartments of an electrochemical cell; said method comprising the steps of:
      a) providing the ionomer as a proton or an anion exchange polymer;
      b) selecting the recombination catalyst from the precious metals group;
      c) providing the selected recombination catalyst in an ionic form being comprised in a liquid metal salt solution;
      d) immersing the ion exchange membrane into the liquid metal salt solution thereby exchanging at least a part of the ionic ionomer ports with the ionic form of the recombination catalyst;
      e) assembling the immersed ion exchange membrane in the electrochemical cell; and
      f) at least partially reducing the content of the ionic form of the recombination catalyst into the metallic form by forcing hydrogen to permeate through the ionomer of the ion exchange membrane.
      Therefore, the present invention presents a new reduction method for Pt-Ions by diffusing hydrogen through the PEM in a PEWE cell. The presented solution provides a way to achieve thin membranes with high crossover suppression, without a negative impact on the cell performance and a reduction insitu on the flight.
