Abstract

This article explores the materials used in the components in the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), namely; the polymer electrolyte membrane, the flow field plate, and the gas diffusion layer. Each section deals with one of the listed components considering: (a) its function within a PEMFC, (b) the material properties influencing its operation and performance, (c) the main materials discussed in the literature, and (d) the state-of-art and current research activity.
