摘要
Polybenzimidazole films doped with phosphoric acid are being investigated as potential polymer electrolytes for use in hydrogen/air and direct methanol fuel cells. In this paper, we present experimental findings on the proton conductivity, water content, and methanol vapor permeability of this material, as well as preliminary fuel cell results. The low methanol vapor permeability of these electrolytes significantly reduces the adverse effects of methanol crossover typically observed in direct methanol polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells.
