PBI Derivatives: Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Membrane for High Temperature Operation
E-mail:
To replace Nafion type perfluorosulfonated polymers, non-sulfonated hydrocarbon-based poly-benzimidazole (PBI) derivatives have been prepared for a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) membrane. The PBI membranes are easily doped with strong inorganic acid to get proton conductivity. They PBI derivatives are very promising materials for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC).
