Influence of Graphene Oxide on the Ethanol Permeability and Ionic Conductivity of QPVA-Based Membrane in Passive Alkaline Direct Ethanol Fuel Cells

Abstract Passive alkaline–direct ethanol fuel cells (alkaline–DEFCs) appear to be suitable for producing sustainable energy for portable devices. However, ethanol crossover is a major challenge for passive alkaline–DEFC systems. This study investigated the performance of a crosslinked quaternized po...
