Mechanical and chemical stability of proton exchange membranes are crucial requirements for the development of fuel cells for durable energy conversion. To tackle this challenge, bi-functional nanoclays grafted with amino groups and with embedded radical scavengers, that is, CeO2 nanoparticles were incorporated into Aquivion® ionomer. The composite membranes presented high proton conductivity and increased stability to radical attack compared to non-modified Aquivion membranes, demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach based on radical scavenger immobilisation and release from clay nanocontainers.

Proton exchange membrane is one of the most important components for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The preparation of proton exchange membranes based on sulfonated polyimide (SPI) for PEMFCs in recent years was reviewed, and methods of improving the water stability and proton conductivity of such membranes were highlighted. It was suggested that preparation of novel SPI membranes or organic-inorganic composite SPI membranes should be a reasonable approach to strengthen their combination property.
