Abstract

This work is dealing with the deposition of self-assembled polyelectrolyte multilayers on Nafion membrane by layer-by-layer (LbL) method, to obtain a proton exchange membrane for direct methanol fuel cell. The formation of self-assembled multilayers film growth was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy and the proton conductivity was measured using impedance spectroscopy.
