Perfluorinated Ionic Polymers for PEFCs (Including Supported PFSA)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fuel Cells I

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 215))

Abstract

This article outlines some history of and recent progress in perfluorinated membranes for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). The structure, properties, synthesis, degradation problems, technology for high temperature membranes, reinforcement technology, and characterization methods of perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) membranes are reviewed.
