摘要 |
The present invention provides a fuel cell that comprises a modified ion exchange membrane. The present invention additionally provides modified membranes produced by in situ polymerisation of monomers, such as aryls, heteroaryls, substituted aryls, substituted heteroaryls or a combination thereof, on anf/or within an ion exchange membrane. The modified membranes c an exhibit reduced permeability to fuel crossover in comparison to the unmodifi ed membranes, often without a significant increase in ionic resistance. The present invention further provides methods for preparing and testing, or evaluating, the modified membranes and fuel cell comprising the modified membranes. |
