“…However, at this high temperature, there is loss of H3PO4 decreasing the performance of the fuel cell [14][15][16][17]. Therefore, to increase wettability and proton conductivity, surface oxidation of the aromatic groups in PBI were studied with ozone [18], O atoms [19], UV photo-oxidation [20], and vacuum UV photo-oxidation [21]. In addition, the performance of a phosphoric acid fuel cell with n-hexadecane fuel has shown promise for petroleum diesel or biodiesel fuels [22].…”
