Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are one of the most efficient energy conversion technologies for producing electricity from fuels such as hydrogen and methanol. Current PEMFCs use precious metal catalysts, and the performance of liquid methanol fuel is disappointingly low due to the inability of polymer or hybrid membranes to operate at temperatures above 160-180 degrees centigrade. This work aims to develop an all oxide-based PEMFC technology using a recently developed sintered and heteropolyacid functionalised mesoporous silica membrane. The utilisation of all-oxide-PEMFCs using non-precious metal catalysts is expected to significantly enhance the power density, reduce costs, and enhance the commercial viability of PEMFC technologies.

质子交换膜燃料电池（PEMFC）是利用氢气和甲醇等燃料发电的最有效的能源转换技术之一。目前的质子交换膜燃料电池使用贵金属催化剂，而由于聚合物或混合膜无法在高于160-180摄氏度的温度下运行，液体甲醇燃料的性能低得令人失望。这项工作旨在使用最近开发的烧结杂多酸功能化介孔二氧化硅膜来开发一种全氧化物基质子交换膜燃料电池技术。使用非贵金属催化剂的全氧化物质子交换膜燃料电池预计将显着提高功率密度、降低成本并增强质子交换膜燃料电池技术的商业可行性。
