Abstract:Considering the well-known, global challenges the energy economy and climate policy face, batteries and fuel cells are widely discussed for potential applications in the future due to their many benefits. There are some difficulties connected with these technologies though. For PEM-fuel cells one of the main problems is linked to their membranes. These are based on Nafion®, a sulfonated fluorocopolymer and therefore have a limited application temperature of 80 °C at ambient pressure due to dehydration and corr… Show more
