Transport and Structure in Fuel Cell Proton Exchange Membranes

Transport properties of novel sulfonated wholly aromatic copolymers and the state-of-the-art poly(perfluorosulfonic acid) copolymer membrane for fuel cells, Nafion, were compared. Species transport (protons, methanol, water) in hydrated membranes was found to correspond with the water-self diffusio...
