Proton exchange membranes (PEMs) that operate at temperatures above 120° C are
needed to avoid catalyst poisoning, enhance electrochemical reactions, simplify the design …

The direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) has the potential to replace lithium‐ion rechargeable
batteries in portable electronic devices, but currently experiences significant power density …

Direct methanol fuel cells have the potential to power future microelectronic and portable
electronic devices because of their high energy density. One of the major obstacles that …

The relentless increase in the demand for useable power from energy-hungry economies
continues to drive energy-material related research. Fuel cells, as a future potential power …

A novel PVA/TiO2 composite polymer membrane was prepared by a solution casting
method. Glutaraldehyde (GA) was used as a cross-linker for the composite polymer …

The aim of this paper is to summarize recent progress on full interpenetrating polymer
networks (IPNs) and semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) as proton …

The status of research and development of polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) for direct
methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) is described. Perfluorosulfonic acid membranes, eg Nafion, are …

A membrane electrolyte that restricts the methanol cross-over while retaining proton
conductivity is essential for better electrochemical selectivity in direct methanol fuel cells …

Anion exchange membranes with semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) were
prepared based on quaternized chitosan (QCS) and polystyrene (PS). The PS was …

In this study case, the good film-forming and structural properties of chitosan (CTS) impelled
us to employ them for develo** polyelectrolyte membrane (PEMs). To functionalize the …
