Abstract:Modern fuel cell technologies use Nafion as the material
of choice
for the proton exchange membrane (PEM) and as the binding material
(ionomer) used to assemble the catalyst layers of the anode and cathode.
These applications demand high proton conductivity as well as other
requirements. For example, PEM is expected to block electrons, oxygen,
and hydrogen from penetrating and diffusing while the anode/cathode
ionomer should allow hydrogen/oxygen to move easily, so that they
can reach the catalyst nanoparticle… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
