ABSTRACT
Well-dispersed nanoparticles contribute to improved thermal/mechanical/chemical/electrochemical properties of proton-conductive polymer electrolytes for fuel cells such as proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) via the combination with intrinsic properties derived from polymers themselves (synergistic effect). These enhanced properties are vital to high electrochemical fuel cell performance for a long period of time.
