PEMs based on alternating perfluorinated and non-perfluorinated polymer systems and incorporation of fillers are briefly discussed too, as they share some structure/transport relationships with the pore-filling PEMs. This article reviews the literature on PEMs prepared by filling of submicron and nanometric size pores with Nafion and other proton-conductive polymers. toward higher conductivity and selectivity due to alignment and restricted swelling. In addition, the confinement itself can alter the properties of the filling ionomer, e.g. for maximal conductivity of the former and maximal physical strength of the latter. It allows optimization of the properties of the filler and the matrix separately, e.g. He has published over 50 papers and has given numerous invited talks at international meetings.Ĭomposite membranes based on porous support membranes filled with a proton-conducting polymer appear to be a promising approach to develop novel proton exchange membranes (PEMs). His main research interests are in the areas of point defect chemistry of oxide materials, fuel cells and supercapacitors, and advanced EIS characterization and analysis. He is the director of the Grand Technion Energy Program (GTEP).
