This volume explores the latest developments in the area of polymer electrolyte membranes
(PEMs) used for high-temperature fuel cells. Featuring contributions from an international
array of researchers it presents a unified viewpoint on the operating principles of fuel cells
various methodologies used for the fabrication of PEMs and issues related to the chemical and
mechanical stabilities of the membranes. Special attention is given to the fabrication of
electrospun nanocomposite membranes.The editors have consciously placed an emphasis on
developments in the area of fast-growing and promising PEM materials obtained via hygroscopic
inorganic fillers solid proton conductors heterocyclic solvents ionic liquids anhydrous
H3PO4 blends and heteropolyacids.This book is intended for fuel cell researchers and students
who are interested in a deeper understanding of the organic-inorganic membranes used in fuel
cells membrane fabrication methodologies properties and clean energy applications.
