Enhancement ofProton Conductivity in PerfluorosulfonicAcid Membranes with the Addition of Hydrophilic Fillers

Abstract The present work demonstrates an improvement in proton conductivity at 80 °C as a result of the addition of a hydrophilic filler (carboxymethyl cellulose nanofibers, CMCNFs) to Nafion composite membranes. The composite membranes (CMCNF/Nafion) prepared by die coating are...
