An alkaline anion exchange membrane has been developed from poly (methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride) (PMVMA) by grafting quaternary ammonium groups through a maleic anhydride ring-open reaction. FT-IR spectra showed successful grafting of quaternary ammonium groups on this cheap raw material. TGA showed that the degradation temperature was 150°C which was due to the loss of the quaternary ammonium groups. The tensile stress of the resultant membrane after ion exchange was 9.0MPa, and the Young's modulus was 0.14GPa with a fractured elongation 11%. The through plane, anion conductivity varied from 1.9×10−2to 2.7×10−2Scm−2in the temperature range of 25–65°C. The power density of a fuel cell with the membrane increased with the operation temperature in the range from 15°C to 35°C. With an ionomer loading of 15% in membrane electrode assemblies (MEA), the power density in the fuel cell was 115mWcm−2and 40mWcm−2for O2(35°C) and air (30°C), respectively.
