Improving the Performance of PEM Fuel Cell
In order to develop a novel proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), new materials were investigated in order to increase the water uptake of the membrane known commercially as "Nafion" by casting it with zirconium metal organic frameworks (MOFs) (i.e., MOF 801 and 808) to form a compos...

| Summary: | In order to develop a novel proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), new materials were investigated in order to increase the water uptake of the membrane known commercially as "Nafion" by casting it with zirconium metal organic frameworks (MOFs) (i.e., MOF 801 and 808) to form a composite using sol-gel method. It was found that the water uptake of the composite membrane (NAF-MOF) was increased in a significant way, and ion exchange capacity was improved in comparison with the commercial membrane at various temperatures. Actual runs using PEM fuel cell at 80°C and Naf-MOF (801 and 808) membranes were performed to assure the efficiency of using these membranes. |
