Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Focused on Organic-Inorganic Nanocomposite Membranes

The application of organic-inorganic nanocomposite membranes allows for a synergy between the desirable thermal and mechanical properties inorganic materials with reactivity, dielectric properties, durability, flexibility, processability polymeric materials. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) suffer from some problems including water content management, carbon monoxide poisoning, hydrogen reformate, crossover through membrane. Herein, specific solutions have been proposed to above-mentioned using organ-inorganic nanocomposites. These include doping proton conductive nano-particles in membrane, preparing nanocomposites via sol-gel method, covalence bond compounds polymer structure, acid-based membranes. Furthermore, production low ethanol steam reforming as well effect CO feed PEMFC are explained discussed. Finally, conditions achieving maximum power density (EMFCs)
