2 INTRODUCTION Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is considered the most promising method to produce hydrogen with a high degree of purity from renewable energy resources! The process is characterized by high efficiencies and suitable current density even at moderate temperatures. - Ecological cleanliness - small mass-volume characteristics - no corrosive electrolyte - low 298 K: E rev = 1.23 V E th = 1.48 V - compressed gases directly from the electrolyser at an increased level of safety A. S. Arico`, S. Siracusano, N. Briguglio, V. Baglio, A. Di Blasi, V. Antonucci, J Appl Electrochem 43 (2013)
3 INTRODUCTION The main disadvantages of PEM electrolysis are high cost: - noble metal catalysts - perfluorinated membranes - titanium current collectors energy loss: - oxygen evolution electrode overpotential - polymer electrolyte membrane resistance It is therefore crucial to develop optimal oxygen-evolving electro-catalysts and highly conductive, mechanically robust membranes in order to minimize energy loss and enhance system durability. A. S. Arico`, S. Siracusano, N. Briguglio, V. Baglio, A. Di Blasi, V. Antonucci, J Appl Electrochem 43 (2013)
4 INTRODUCTION THE GOAL: Improvement of the proton conducting membrane higher temperature (80 C<T<120 C) lower gas permeability improved mechanical properties THE STRATEGIES: alternative new polymer systems modification of the conventional perfluorosulfonic-based polymer system (i.e., Nafion membranes) M. Carmo, D. L. Fritz, J. Mergel, D. Stolten, Int. J. Hhydrogen En 38 (2013)

8 INTRODUCTION The acid strength of a surface is the ability of the surface to convert an adsorbed neutral base B into its conjugate acid BH + (AB) and is expressed in terms of Hammet acidity function, Ho, which is defined by the following equations: Brønsted acid: Ho log a H f f B BH pk a log B BH Lewis acid: Ho log a A f f B AB pk a log B AB
9 INTRODUCTION Aim of this work: to investigate the properties of other sulfated metal oxides and their effect as additives by comparing the behavior of various composite SMO 2 -added Nafion membranes with that of additive-free Nafion systems.

19 CONCLUSIONS Nano-metric sulfated titania particles, with highly homogeneous morphology, have been obtained by a fast, 1-step synthesis. It has been demonstrated the role of the sulfated titania in: - promoting higher hydration level - reducing electrolyte resistance - controlling membrane-electrode interface contact The presence of the inorganic compound allowed the achievement of higher electrolysis performance at 100 C, under practical operating conditions corresponding to suitable current density.
