2.1 Proton-conducting polymer membranes as electrolyte for PEMFCs
The polymer membrane is the core element of PEMFCs, and is currently one of the main limitations to their large-scale development, due to its high cost, limited durability and operating temperature.
The first PEMFCs developed by General Electric for NASA (National Space Agency, USA) as part of the Gemini program in the 1960s used polystyrene sulfonate membranes with a short battery life . The first significant advance was the replacement of polystyrene sulfonate by Nafion ...
