Description
Summary:Review is dedicated to discussion of different types of proton-exchange membranes used in fuel cells (FC). One of the most promising electrolytes is polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM). In recent years, researchers pay great attention to various non-fluorinated or partially fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers, which may become a real alternative to Nafion. Typical examples are sulfonatedpolyetheretherketones, polyarylene ethers, polysulphones, polyimides. A class of polyimides-based hydrocarbon proton-exchange membranes is separately considered as promising for widespread use in fuel cell, such membranes are of interest for our further experimental development.
