Amphiphilic Diblock Copolymers as a Basis of High Performance Nanostructured Membranes for Fuel Cells: Mesoscale Simulation

摘要

Theoretical studies on the possibility of using amphiphilic diblock copolymers as high-performance proton-conducting membranes for low-temperature fuel cells (FCs) have been carried out. It is shown that the topology of a network of aqueous channels in the ion-exchange membrane volume can be adjusted by changing the length ratio of the blocks.
