Sulfonated Polyether Ether Ketone (SPEEK, NEXIONIC) Powder for Flow Battery, Electrolyzer, and Fuel Cell, 10-50 g/bottle, CFBEFCSPEEKP

Sulfonated Polyether Ether Ketone (SPEEK) in powder form is a versatile ion-exchange material used to fabricate membranes for fuel cells, redox flow batteries, and water electrolysis. It is favored as a low-cost, environmentally friendly alternative to perfluorinated membranes like Nafion. SPEEK is produced by the sulfonation of PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) powder. PEEK itself is hydrophobic and non-conductive; by treating it with concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4), sulfonic acid groups (-SO3H) are attached to the polymer backbone. Its main application in electrochemistry is as ion-exchange membrane for redox flow battery, electrolyzer, and fuel cell.
