Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have recently passed the test or demonstration phase and have partially reached the commercialization stage due to the impressive worldwide research effort. Despite the currently promising achievements and the plausible prospects of PEMFCs, there are many

โฆ Synopsis
Dow Chemical's research activities in fuel cells revolve around the development of perfluorosulfonic acid membranes, useful as the proton transport medium and separator. The following work will outline some of the performance characteristics which are typical for such membranes.

## Abstract Degradation processes of both sulfonated polyimide (sPI) and sulfonated polyetheretherketone (sPEEK) membranes were studied inโsitu in fuel cells. __Exโsitu__ ageing protocols were developed for both polymers and model compounds. On the one hand sulfonated polyimides are shown to be mai
## Abstract The chemical and structuralโ(morphological) features of proton exchange membranes are directly tied to their fuel cell relevant transport properties. A large body of research has focused on characterizing the structure or investigating the properties of Nafionยฎ and other proton exchange
Gas crossover phenomenon through a membrane is inevitable in a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). For nitrogen, the concentration at the cathode side is usually higher than that at the anode side, so N 2 permeates to the anode side. Nitrogen gas crossover (NGC) may cause fuel starvation, if
