Abstract
In recent years, high-temperature, methanol-based fuel cells have aroused interest due to the finite sources of fossil fuels and adverse environmental conditions. The proton exchange membrane (PEM), the protonic conductive polymer, is the most important part of the fuel cell. Due to the disadvantages of currently used membranes, such as high cost and low conductivity at high temperatures (>80°C), new polymer-supported materials are required. PEM studies are based on the development of a new generation of polymer electrolytes on hydrocarbon polymers. In this chapter, information is given about the synthesis and characterization of nanocomposite membranes for high-temperature, PEM methanol fuel cells.
