Abstract

The Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) has the potential to enable hydrogen worldwide as a clean energy storage medium. However, before it can be implemented globally, the PEMFC needs to be optimized with innovative technology to maximize its efficiency. This investigation will analyze the methods in which the efficiency can be optimized through a different polymer material that can be used as solid polymer electrolyte membrane in the PEM fuel cell, comparing Nafion with Sulfonated Poly (ether ether ketone) as the most effective electrolyte membrane by efficiency.
