Effect of Carbon Nano Fibres (CNFs) Reinforced Proton Conducting Novel Hybrid Membranes on the Performance of Fuel Cell Test Rig

Abstract

Conventional energy sources are dwindling by the day, and renewable energy resources will be beneficial energy sources in the future generation. Despite significant breakthroughs in developing renewable energy sources, fuel cell technology remains a critical tool for automotive industry applications. As a result, proton exchange membranes (PEM) for fuel cell applications are essential to make the more significant and challenging work of maintaining temperature with any fuel cell technology economically feasible. The current study focuses on developing PEM membranes with B2SA grafted plain PVA and varied CNF concentrations in the PVA holding matrix.
