Ssi Nafion Perfluorinated Solution for Electrochemistry Research

Nafion Solution

Nafion solution is a liquid dispersion of Nafion, a perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) polymer, dissolved in a mixture of alcohol and water. It serves as a proton-conducting medium widely used in electrochemical research and energy applications. The solution can be easily cast into thin films or used as a binder to enhance ionic conductivity in electrode structures.

Nafion’s unique structure—featuring a chemically stable fluorocarbon backbone with strongly acidic sulfonic groups—provides excellent proton conductivity, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. This makes Nafion solution ideal for preparing proton exchange membranes, coating electrodes, and improving performance in systems such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, and sensors.

By forming uniform, conductive coatings, Nafion solution enhances catalyst utilization, reduces resistance losses, and improves overall efficiency of electrochemical devices.
