METAL-COATED POLYMER ELECTROLYTE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF

摘要

Metal-coated polymer electrolyte membranes (101) that are permeable to protons and hydrogen and methods of manufacturing thereof are disclosed. The metal-covered polymer electrolyte membranes are capable of maintaining the proton and hydrogen permeability in a humidified environment. The metal-coated polymer electrolyte membranes can be used as proton exchange membranes in liquid-type fuel cells to prevent fuel, gas and impurity crossover.
