Investigation of thermo-mechanical behavior, proton transfer and methanol permeation of polymer electrolyte membrane in low sulfonated state modified with thermally stable surface functionalized graphene oxide nanosheets

Sulfonated polyether ether ketone is currently under investigation to replace the expensive Nafion® as polymer electrolyte membrane. Sulfonic acid group is hydrophilic in nature and plays a key role in proton transfer in polymer electrolyte membranes. The higher the degree of sulfonation the higher...
