Abstract Low-cost anion exchange membrane fuel cells have been investigated as a promising alternative to proton for the last decade. The major barriers viability of are their unsatisfactory key components—anion ionomers and membranes. Here, we present series durable poly(fluorenyl aryl piperidinium) membranes where possess high OH − conductivity 208 mS cm −1 at 80 °C, low H 2 permeability, excellent mechanical properties (84.5 MPa TS), 2000 h ex-situ durability in 1 M NaOH while water vapor...
Abstract Nonprecious metals are promising catalysts to avoid the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in next‐generation regenerative fuel cells or metal–air batteries. Therefore, development of nonprecious metal for ORR is highly desirable. Herein, precise tuning atomic ratio Fe and Co encapsulated melamine‐derived nitrogen‐rich graphitic tube (NGT) reported.
