High temperature Membranes with Designable Structures for PEM Fuel Cells

Organization:University Technologies International (UTI), Alberta, CA
I.P. Brief:Novel proton-exchange membranes, based on a crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF), that operate efficiently at temperatures above 150oC. These membranes are highly ordered, with dopable pores, allowing for designable structures when integrated into polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell technologies.
Keywords:membrane, fuel cell, PEM, PEMFC, proton exchange, proton conducting, hydrogen, DMFC, direct methanol fuel cell, metal organic frameworks
Primary Industry:Energy
Specific Market:Fuel cells, alternative energy
