Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative Polymer Systems for Proton Exchange Membranes (PEMs)
TL;DR: Devising systems that can conduct protons with little or no water is perhaps the greatest challenge for new membrane materials, and new membranes that have significantly reduced methanol permeability and water transport (through diffusion and electro-osmotic drag) are required for automotive applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anion-exchange membranes in electrochemical energy systems

TL;DR: In this paper, an up-to-date perspective on the use of anion-exchange membranes in fuel cells, electrolysers, redox flow batteries, reverse electrodialysis cells, and bioelectrochemical systems (e.g. microbial fuel cells).
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct polymerization of sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) random (statistical) copolymers: candidates for new proton exchange membranes
TL;DR: In this paper, a biphenol-based wholly aromatic poly(arylene ether sulfone)s containing up to two pendant sulfonate groups per repeat unit were prepared by potassium carbonate mediated direct aromatic nucleophilic substitution polycondensation of disodium 3,3′-disulfonate-4,4′-dichlorodiphenylsulfone (SDCDPS), 4, 4′-dimethylactamide (DCDPS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Block Copolymers for Fuel Cells
TL;DR: An overview of the morphology and transport properties of ion-containing block copolymers that have been studied to gain insight into the fundamental behavior of these materials and, in some cases, are targeted toward applications in fuel cells and other electrochemical devices is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Stable, Anion Conductive, Comb-Shaped Copolymers for Alkaline Fuel Cells
TL;DR: The results indicated that the C-16 alkyl side chain ionomer had a slightly better initial performance, despite its low IEC value, but very poor durability in the fuel cell.
