Abstract

Composite material based on polystyrene-activated carbon/platinum (PS/AC/Pt has been prepared by variation of weight ratio between polystyrene, activated carbon, and platinum in chloroform solvent. The functional groups of the
composite material were identified by FTIR, the morphology and the element composition were analyzed by SEM�EDX, and the proton conductivity was measured by a chemical impedance analyzer. The functional groups of material
are similar to polystyrene and indicate no effect on its structure. The surface morphology of the composite membrane is smooth and nonporous. The composite material PS-AC-Pt was successfully made without impurity shown by EDX with carbon and platinum elements. The composite material with the highest Pt content showed the highest proton conductivity at 30˚C. The proton conductivity tends to decrease as temperature increases. This composite material can be proposed as a membrane electrode candidate for the fuel cell.
