“…This enables the electrochemical reactions that generate electricity. FC membranes made of perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) materials such as Nafion are currently being used [250–253] . While these membranes are effective, they do have limitations in terms of cost, durability, and performance under certain operating conditions [254] .…”

The research in energy storage and conversion is playing a critical role in energy policy as the innovation and technological progress are essential for achieving the energy transition and climate neutrality goals. Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology is considered a strategic element in the pursuit of sustainable and clean energy solutions. This technology is increasingly gaining attention in recent years as a potential substitute to conventional non‐renewable energy sources. Fuel cell technology can be employed for domestic/commercial use along with powering the transportation sector which currently employs the use of conventional battery systems. However, these systems pose severe limitations with respect to longer charging times and limited distance range. This review article aims at providing a comprehensive methodical overview of hydrogen‐based fuel cell technology along with key concepts, present day scenarios, including overview of the market and industry trends, government policies and initiatives, along with major stakeholders involved in scaling up the technology for mass consumption. The outlook of fuel cells, including their capability to revolutionise the energy sector is discussed. The technological advancements and breakthroughs on the horizon along with the challenges and safety concerns related to the widespread acceptance of fuel cells are analysed.

“…The main elements of this model and its experimental verification are described in [157,164]. Later, some modifications of this model [39,[165][166][167] and numerous applications are presented in [14,28,39,[165][166][167][168][169][170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178]. The application of the microheterogeneous model allows, along with the electrical conductivity of the membrane [168,[170][171][172][173]177,178], the determination of electrolyte diffusion permeability [14,21], permselectivity (ion transport numbers) [14,21,28,174,179], electrolyte sorption [180][181][182] and some other properties [14,21,176,183].…”

Artificial ion-exchange and other charged membranes, such as biomembranes, are self-organizing nanomaterials built from macromolecules. The interactions of fragments of macromolecules results in phase separation and the formation of ion-conducting channels. The properties conditioned by the structure of charged membranes determine their application in separation processes (water treatment, electrolyte concentration, food industry and others), energy (reverse electrodialysis, fuel cells and others), and chlore-alkali production and others. The purpose of this review is to provide guidelines for modeling the transport of ions and water in charged membranes, as well as to describe the latest advances in this field with a focus on power generation systems. We briefly describe the main structural elements of charged membranes which determine their ion and water transport characteristics. The main governing equations and the most commonly used theories and assumptions are presented and analyzed. The known models are classified and then described based on the information about the equations and the assumptions they are based on. Most attention is paid to the models which have the greatest impact and are most frequently used in the literature. Among them, we focus on recent models developed for proton-exchange membranes used in fuel cells and for membranes applied in reverse electrodialysis.

“…Research in [ 36 ] reports the properties of layer-by-layer self-assembled anion exchange membranes and shows that the sustained attack of from hydroxyl groups can cause the degradation of polymer skeleton and even breakdown of the membrane. An example of damage caused to a perfluorinated membrane by harsh conditions is given in article [ 37 ] describing the degradation of a perfluorinated membrane as a result of thermomechanical processes in a fuel cell. The factors occurring during electrodialysis can damage the polymer structure and wash its fragments away from the surface.…”

Electrodialysis with layer-by-layer coated membranes is a promising method for the separation of monovalent and polyvalent ions. Since the separation selectivity is significantly reduced in the presence of defects in the multilayer system, the stability of the modifiers becomes an important issue. This article reports the i-V curves of layer-by-layer coated membranes based on the heterogeneous MK-40 membrane before and after 50 h long electrodialysis of a solution containing sodium and calcium ions at an underlimiting current density, and the values of concentrations of cations in the desalination chamber during electrodialysis. It is shown that the transport of bivalent ions through the modified membranes is reduced throughout the electrodialysis by about 50%, but the operation results in decreased resistance of the membrane modified with polyethylenimine, which may suggest damage to the modifying layer. Even after electrodialysis, the modified membrane demonstrated experimental limiting current densities higher than that of the substrate, and in case of the membrane modified with polyallylamine, the limiting current density 10% higher than that of the substrate membrane.
