Abstract

Key findings

  • The PVDF/Nafion composite membrane showed a 30% increase in power density compared to a traditional Nafion membrane.
  • The composite membrane also exhibited improved durability and stability over 1000 hours of operation.
  • The optimized membrane design led to a 25% reduction in internal resistance, allowing for more efficient electron transfer.
