Uncovering Alternate Pathways to Nafion Membrane Degradation in Fuel Cells with First-Principles Modeling

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) represent promising energy storage solutions, but challenges remain to maximize their utility. Nafion is frequently employed as the PEMFC membrane material, but degradation of Nafion can limit the life of PEMFCs. Using hybrid density functional theory...
