Development and characterization of sulfonated olyethersulfone membrane as a potential material for direct methanol fuel cell

Sulfonated polyethersulfone membrane is one of the potential candidates to be use as an electrolyte for fuel cell application due to its high thermal resistance. With a high heat deflection temperature of 400°F (204°C), it can withstand continuous exposure to heat and still absorb tremendous impact...
