TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the oxygen reduction reaction at the interface between a 50 μm radius platinum disk electrode and two solid polymer electrolyte membranes (Nafion® 117 and BAM® 407) over a range of temperatures (303 −343 K) and oxygen pressures (2 −5 atm absolute), at 100% relative humidity, using a solid-state electrochemical cell.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of proton exchange membranes based on sulfonated αββ-trifluorostyrene-co-substituted-αββ -triflurostyrenes (BAM ® ) were compared to Nafion ® 117 and ethylenetetrafluoroethylene-g -polystyrene sulfonic acid membranes.

TL;DR: In this paper, conducting polymer composite films comprised of polyaniline (PANI) and Nafion are prepared and investigated as a matrix for platinum (Pt) particles deposited both chemically and electrochemically.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of sulfonated α,β,β-trifluorostyrene-co-substituted BAM® and styrene copolymers (DAIS-Analytical) was investigated in an environment that mimics proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

TL;DR: Polyaniline was used as a conductive matrix for depositing electrocatalyst (platinum) for the reduction of oxygen as mentioned in this paper, and it was found to be a good conducting support for the platinum microparticles and by depositing platinum on the polymer, the active surface area of the electro catalyst was increased.
