The article discusses the advancements in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology with a focus on improving efficiency through the use of anisotropic materials. While PEM fuel cells offer a clean energy conversion solution, challenges such as high manufacturing costs and performance limitations have hindered their widespread commercialization. The key components of PEMFCs, namely efficient electrocatalysts and proton exchange membranes, play a vital role in determining overall fuel cell performance. The study introduces the use of anisotropic inorganic materials like ZrO2 and W18O49 nanowires coated with specific polymers to enhance the proton conductivity of composite PBI membranes. By reducing the need for external humidifiers, these materials aim to improve efficiency and address issues related to proton conductivity and membrane degradation. The research evaluates the impact of different filler combinations on membrane properties and performance in non-humidified PEMFCs. The incorporation of these materials is expected to create efficient 1D proton channels in the membrane, ultimately enhancing fuel cell performance. The study marks a step towards overcoming challenges in PEMFC technology and moving closer to the commercialization of clean energy solutions.
