Polymer electrolyte fuel cell dynamic properties

Calculating the structural properties of the component from its chemical composition (e.g., for the case of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) electrodes, by using coarse-grain molecular dynamics (CGMD)) (Fig. 10)... [Pg.1328]

In the 1980s, several authors proposed the use of composite polymer electrolytes. The solutions they proposed depended on the electrochemical application, i.e. lithium batteries, fuel cells, etc., which determined the properties required. This chapter reviews the development and properties of composite polymer electrolytes used in lithium batteries and proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). The effects of fillers on electrolyte properties are discussed in terms of electrochemical performance, and also in terms of polymer matrix morphology and dynamics. Data from the literature are compared in order to determine the effects of the manufacturing... [Pg.129]
