TL;DR: In this article, a series of sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone)s (SPEEKs) were prepared by sulfonation of commercial Victrex ® and Gatone ® PEEK for a comparative study of proton exchange membranes (PEM) intended for fuel cell applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of composite membranes based on sulfonated polyether ether ketone with embedded heteropolycompounds were studied and their electrochemical and thermal properties were studied, showing that an increase in degree of sulfonation and introduction of these fillers resulted in increased Tg and enhanced membrane hydrophilicity, bringing about a substantial gain in proton conductivity.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent work on developments in advanced PEMs with various chemical structures and architecture and the resulting polymer microstructures and morphologies that arise for potential application in fuel cell, lithium ion battery, redox flow battery, actuators, and electrodialysis.

TL;DR: A class of amorphous MOP, prepared by [2+3] cycloaddition modification of a polymer containing an aromatic nitrile group with an azide compound, showing super-permeable characteristics and outstandingCO(2) separation performance, even under polymer plasticization conditions such as CO(2)/light gas mixtures is shown.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the latest ideas for improvements in the membrane electrode assembly and its components with regard to water and thermal management and materials, which are expected to be implemented in next-generation PEMFCs to achieve high power density.
