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.
