Abstract
Four non-fluorinated sulfonimide polyamides (s-PAs) were successfully synthesized and a series of membranes were prepared by blending s-PA with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to achieve high-methanol-permeation resistivity for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications. Four membranes were fabricated by blending 50 wt% PVDF with s-PA, named BPD-101, BPD-102, BPD-111 and BPD-211, respectively. The s-PA/PVDF membranes exhibit high methanol resistivity, especially for the BPD-111 membrane with methanol resistivity of 8.13 × 10-7 cm2/s, which is one order of magnitude smaller than that of the Nafion 117 membrane. The tensile strength of the BPD-111 membrane is 15 MPa, comparable to that of the Nafion 117 membrane. Moreover, the four membranes also show good thermal stability up to 230 °C. The BPD-x membrane exhibits good oxidative stability, and the measured residual weights of the BPD-111 membrane are 97% and 93% after treating in Fenton's reagent (80 °C) for 1 h and 24 h, respectively. By considering the mechanical, thermal and dimensional properties, the polyamide proton-exchange membrane exhibits promising application potential for direct methanol fuel cells.

Abstract
The construction of multiple microstructures is a significant measure in improving the protective performance of composite polymer coatings. In this paper, a novel polystyrene acrylate-highly hydrophobic polysiloxane composite emulsion was fabricated by innovatively integrating the core-shell emulsion method and Pickering emulsion method through the interfacial stabilization and molecular polymerization regulation of graphene oxide, achieving a significant improvement in the compatibility of the thermoplastic core with a thermoset shell. The bonding degree between the polystyrene acrylate (PSA) component and the siloxane component is significantly improved in the synthesized composite emulsions, achieving the dual protection of the cementitious substrate with surface shielding and internal crystalline hydrophobicity. The capillary water absorption of the concrete treated with Pickering emulsions is reduced by over 98.3% with high hydrophobicity and low permeability. Meanwhile, the absolute ζ-potential and impedance of composite membranes reach over 45 mV and 109 ohms, respectively, giving the cementitious substrate excellent resistance to ionic attack and acid/alkaline corrosion. In addition, the composite membranes have excellent resistance to tensile cracking and physical erosion, maintaining a favorable adhesion level and plastic deformation under acid/alkaline attack and thermal aging, respectively.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) lamellar graphene oxide (GO) membranes are emerging as attractive materials for molecular separation in water treatment because of their single atomic thickness, excellent hydrophilicity, large specific surface areas, and controllable properties. To yet, commercialization of GO laminar membranes has been hindered by their propensity to swell in hydrated conditions. Thus, chemical crosslinking of GO sheets with the polymer matrix is used to improve GO membrane hydration stability. This review focuses on pertinent themes such as how chemical crosslinking improves the hydration stability, separation performance, and antifouling properties of GO membranes.

Abstract
The world is on the lookout for sustainable and environmentally benign energy generating systems. Fuel cells (FCs) are regarded as environmentally friendly technology since they address a variety of environmental issues, such as hazardous levels of local pollutants, while also delivering economic advantages owing to their high efficiency. A fuel cell is a device that changes chemical energy contained in fuels (such as hydrogen and methanol) into electrical energy. A wide variety of FCs are commercially available; however, proton exchange membranes for hydrogen fuel cells (PEMFCs) have received overwhelming attention owing to their potential to significantly reduce our energy consumption, pollution emissions, and reliance on fossil fuels. The proton exchange membrane (PEM) is a critical element; it is made of semipermeable polymer and serves as a barrier between the cathode and anode during fuel cell construction. Additionally, membranes function as an insulator between the cathode and anode, facilitating proton exchange and inhibiting electron exchange between the electrodes. Due to the excellent features such as durability and proton conductivity, Nafion membranes are commercially viable and have been in use for a long time. However, Nafion membranes are costly, and their proton exchange capacities degrade over time at higher temperatures and low relative humidity. Other types of membranes have been considered in addition to Nafion membranes. This article discusses the problems connected with several types of PEMs, as well as the strategies adopted to improve their characteristics and performance.

Abstract
A graphene oxide (GO) membrane is an ideal separator for multiple applications due to its morphology, selectivity, controllable oxidation, and high aspect ratio of the 2D nanosheet. However, the anisotropic ion conducting nature caused by its morphology is not favorable toward through-plane conductivity, which is vital for solid-state electrolytes in electrochemical devices. Here, we present a strategy to selectively enhance the through-plane proton conductivity of a GO membrane by reducing its degree of anisotropy with pore formation on the nanosheets through the sonication-assisted Fenton reaction. The obtained porous GO (pGO) membrane is a near-isotropic, proton-conducting GO membrane, showing a degree of anisotropy as low as 2.77 and 47% enhancement of through-plane proton conductivity as opposed to the pristine GO membrane at 25 °C and 100% relative humidity. The anisotropic behavior shows an Arrhenius relationship with temperature, while the water interlayer formation between nanosheets plays a pivotal role in the anisotropic behavior under different values of relative humidity (RH); that is, as low RH increases, water molecules tend to orient in a bimodal distribution clinching the nanosheets and forming a subnanometer, high-aspect-ratio, water interlayer, resulting in its peak anisotropy. Further increase in RH fills the interlayer gap, resulting in behaviors akin to near-isotropic, bulk water. Lastly, implementation of the pGO membrane, as the solid proton-conductive electrolyte, in an alcohol fuel cell sensor has been demonstrated, showcasing the excellent selectivity and response, exceptional linearity, and ethanol detection limits as low as 25 ppm. The amalgamation of excellent performance, high customizability, facile scalability, low cost, and environmental friendliness in the present method holds considerable potential for transforming anisotropic GO membranes into near-isotropic ion conductors to further membrane development and sensing applications.

Abstract
Hydrogen is a clean fuel and an abundant renewable energy resource. In recent years, huge scientific attention has been invested to invent suitable materials for its safe storage. Conducting polymers has been extensively investigated as a potential hydrogen storage and fuel cell membrane due to the low cost, ease of synthesis and processability to achieve the desired morphological and microstructural architecture, ease of doping and composite formation, chemical stability and functional properties. The review presents the recent progress in the direction of material selection, modification to achieve appropriate morphology and adsorbent properties, chemical and thermal stabilities. Polyaniline is the most explored material for hydrogen storage. Polypyrrole and polythiophene has also been explored to some extent. Activated carbons derived from conducting polymers have shown the highest specific surface area and significant storage. This review also covers recent advances in the field of proton conducting solid polymer electrolyte membranes in fuel cells application. This review focuses on the basic structure, synthesis and working mechanisms of the polymer materials and critically discusses their relative merits.

Abstract
A series of composites have been fabricated by introducing ionic liquid (IL) (ship) into chromium terephthalate MIL-101 (bottle) by ship-in-bottle method (IL@MIL-101s), the resulting IL@MIL-101s are endowed to high water retention, which is essential to proton conducting on multiple energy-involved applications at the low relative humidity (RH). The humidifying IL can lower water loss and increase water uptake, and thus improves water retention properties of the composites aided by the mesoporous MIL-101 at low RH. The hydropenic proton transfer pathways are modeled inside MOF and between IL-MOF, diminishing energy barrier routes for proton hopping, and thus a promotive proton transfer is rendered via Grotthuss mechanism. Specially, the IL@MIL-101 (SIB-3) unfolds a high proton conductivity (σ = 4.4 × 10-2 S cm-1) at RH as low as ~23%, five orders of magnitude increase than that of parent MIL-101 (1.1 × 10-7 S cm-1) at 323 K. Besides, IL@MIL-101s as fillers are incorporated into polymer blends to form hybrid membranes, appearing the relatively high proton conductivity (4.3 × 10-3 S cm-1) under ~23% RH at 323 K.

Transport Properties and Mechanical Features of Sulfonated Polyether Ether Ketone/Organosilica Layered Materials Nanocomposite Membranes for Fuel Cell Applications. MEMBRANES 2020; 10:membranes10050087.

Abstract
In this work, we study the preparation of new sulfonated polyether ether ketone (sPEEK) nanocomposite membranes, containing highly ionic silica layered nanoadditives, as a low cost and efficient proton exchange membranes for fuel cell applications. To achieve the best compromise among mechanical strength, dimensional stability and proton conductivity, sPEEK polymers with different sulfonation degree (DS) were examined. Silica nanoplatelets, decorated with a plethora of sulfonic acid groups, were synthesized through the one-step process, and composite membranes at 1, 3 and 5 wt% of filler loadings were prepared by a simple casting procedure. The presence of ionic layered additives improves the mechanical strength, the water retention capacity and the transport properties remarkably. The nanocomposite membrane with 5% wt of nanoadditive exhibited an improvement of tensile strength almost 160% (68.32 MPa,) with respect to pristine sPEEK and a ten-times higher rate of proton conductivity (12.8 mS cm−1) under very harsh operative conditions (i.e., 90 °C and 30% RH), compared to a filler-free membrane. These findings represent a significant advance as a polymer electrolyte or a fuel cell application.

Abstract
A membrane electrolyte that restricts the methanol cross-over while retaining proton conductivity is essential for better electrochemical selectivity in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Extensive research carried out to explore numerous blends and composites for application as polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) revealed promising electrochemical selectivity in DMFCs of carbon nanomaterial-based polymer composites. The present review covers important literature on different carbon nanomaterial-based PEMs reported during the last decade. The review emphasises the proton conductivity and methanol permeability of nanocomposite membranes with carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide and fullerene as additives, assessing critically the impact of each type of filler on those properties.

Abstract
A series of side-chain-type sulfonated poly(arylene ether ketone)s with high ion exchange capacity (IEC) values were prepared by polycondensation reaction of 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone with 2,2′-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl) and bisphenol A, followed by post-grafting reaction using 1,4-butanesultone. For these obtained membranes, sulfoalkylamine functionalized poly(ether ether ketone) (SAm-PEEK)-0.8 with the highest IEC of 3.42 mequiv. g−1 displayed the highest proton conductivity of 0.11 S cm−1 at 25°C and 0.167 S cm−1 at 60°C, respectively. The morphology of these membranes was investigated by transmission electron microscope analysis. The result showed that these membranes exhibited well-connected hydrophilic channels due to their high IEC values and densely populated flexible acid side chains. Owing to their low methanol permeability and high selectivity, SAm-PEEK- x membranes are promising candidates for direct methanol fuel cell applications.

Abstract
Acid-base pairs hold great superiority in creating proton defects and facilitating proton transfer with less or no water. However, the existing acid-base complexes fail in assembling into ordered acid-base pairs and thus cannot always take full advantage of the acid-base synergetic effect. Herein, polymer quantum dots with inherent ordered acid-base pairs are utilized and anchored on dopamine-coated graphene oxide, thus forming into long-range conducting pathways. The resultant building blocks ( nPGO) are integrated in a sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) matrix to fabricate composite membranes. The constructed long-range transfer highways with ordered acid-base pairs impart to the composite membrane significantly enhanced proton conduction ability. Under the hydrated state, the composite membrane attains 91% increase over the control membrane in conductivity, and the single-cell fuel based on the membrane achieves 71% promotion in maximum power density. Under anhydrous conditions, more striking augment in conduction is observed for the composite membrane, reaching 7.14 mS cm-1, almost 10 times of the control membrane value (0.78 mS cm-1). Remarkably, such anhydrous proton conduction performance is even comparable to that of the composite membrane impregnated with ionic liquids, which is hard to realize with conventional fillers. Collectively, these results endow composite membranes great potential for applications in hydrogen-based fuel cells, sensors, and catalysis.

Abstract
A sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and phosphorylated graphene oxide (PGO) composite of a cation-exchange membrane with low frictional coefficient and high limiting current density has been reported for water desalination by rapid electrodialysis. The incorporation of PGO in the membrane matrix showed a significant impact on the macroscopic properties, counterion frictional coefficient, and performance of the membrane. A well-optimized SPEEK/PGO-8 (8% PGO content, w/w) membrane showed improved conductivity (4.15 × 10-2 S cm-1) and permselectivity (87%), and excellent stabilities (thermal, mechanical, and chemical) because of cherished polymer-PGO (filler) interaction via H-bonding. The efficiency of the SPEEK/PGO-8 membrane was also evaluated for the desalination of brackish water near limiting current density (I lim). Ion concentration polarization (ICP) was assessed by i-V curves, and below I lim, water splitting or change in product water pH was ruled out. While above I lim (10.5 mA cm-2), ICP was significant and could be finally tuned with applied current density for producing desalinated water with a desired pH. Furthermore, improved I lim, high current efficiency (82.9%), and low energy consumption (7.9 kWh kg-1 of the salt removed) of the SPEEK/PGO-8 membrane during electrodialysis provide a broad current window for efficient and rapid water desalination/purification.

Abstract
Porous organic cage, a kind of newly emerging soluble crystalline porous material, is introduced to proton-exchange membrane by in situ crystallization. The crystallized Cage 3 with intrinsic water-meditated three-dimensional interconnected proton pathways working together with Nafion matrix generates a composite membrane with highly improved proton conductivity. Different from inorganic crystalline porous materials, like metal-organic frameworks, the organic porous material shows better compatibility with Nafion matrix due to the absence of inorganic elements. In addition, Cage 3 can absorb water up to 20.1 wt %, which effectively facilitates proton conduction under both high- and low-humidity conditions. Meanwhile, the selectivity of Nafion-Cage 3 composite membrane is also elevated upon the loading of Cage 3. The proton conductivity is evidently enhanced without obvious increased methanol permeability. At 90 °C and 95% RH, the proton conductivity of NC3-5 reaches 0.27 S·cm-1, highly improved compared to 0.08 S·cm-1 of recast Nafion under the same condition. This study offers a new strategy for modifying proton-exchange membrane with crystalline porous materials.

Abstract
In the context of many applications, such as polymer composites, energy-related materials, sensors, 'paper'-like materials, field-effect transistors (FET), and biomedical applications, chemically modified graphene was broadly studied during the last decade, due to its excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. The presence of reactive oxygen functional groups in the grapheme oxide (GO) responsible for chemical functionalization makes it a good candidate for diversified applications. The main objectives for developing a GO based nanohybrid proton exchange membrane (PEM) include: improved self-humidification (water retention ability), reduced fuel crossover (electro-osmotic drag), improved stabilities (mechanical, thermal, and chemical), enhanced proton conductivity, and processability for the preparation of membrane-electrode assembly. Research carried on this topic may be divided into protocols for covalent grafting of functional groups on GO matrix, preparation of free-standing PEM or choice of suitable polymer matrix, covalent or hydrogen bonding between GO and polymer matrix etc. Herein, we present a brief literature survey on GO based nano-hybrid PEM for fuel cell applications. Different protocols were adopted to produce functionalized GO based materials and prepare their free-standing film or disperse these materials in various polymer matrices with suitable interactions. This review article critically discussed the suitability of these PEMs for fuel cell applications in terms of the dependency of the intrinsic properties of nanohybrid PEMs. Potential applications of these nanohybrid PEMs, and current challenges are also provided along with future guidelines for developing GO based nanohybrid PEMs as promising materials for fuel cell applications.
