Journal ArticleDOI
A Sol-Gel Modified Alternative Nafion-Silica Composite Membrane for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
TL;DR: In this paper, Nafion-silica composite membranes are fabricated by embedding silica particles as inorganic fillers in perfluorosulfonic acid ionomer by a novel water hydrolysis process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nafion and modified-Nafion membranes for polymer electrolyte fuel cells: An overview
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview on Nafion membranes highlighting their merits and demerits with efforts on modified-Nafion membrane, which is a key component of PEFC and its performance is controlled by several physical parameters, viz. water up-take, ion exchange capacity, proton conductivity and humidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen and fluorine co-doped graphite nanofibers as high durable oxygen reduction catalyst in acidic media for polymer electrolyte fuel cells
S. Gouse Peera,Akhila Kumar Sahu,A. Arunchander,Santoshkumar D. Bhat,J. Karthikeyan,Palanichamy Murugan +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, Nitrogen and fluorine co-doped graphite nanofibers were synthesized using melamine and ammonium fluoride as precursors, respectively, for use as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfonated Graphene-Nafion Composite Membranes for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells Operating under Reduced Relative Humidity
Akhila Kumar Sahu,Akhila Kumar Sahu,Kriangsak Ketpang,Sangaraju Shanmugam,Osung Kwon,Osung Kwon,Sang-Cheol Lee,Hasuck Kim +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a composite membrane with Nafion for polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) applications under reduced relative humidity (RH) was proposed. But the performance of the composite membrane was not evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
