Nafion™ membranes are used to power fuel cells

　　Fuel cell power makes the world safer and cleaner

　　A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy from fuel (usually hydrogen and oxygen) to electricity through an electrochemical reaction. As a complement to many green energy sources, fuel cells are a key factor to deliver clean energy on any scale.

　　The use of fuel cells has become increasingly important because of international regulations requiring drastic reductions in global warming emissions. In 2025, the global fuel cell market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.9%, covering an extensive range of usage situations that include:

　　Energy for light electric, hybrid, heavy transport and material handling vehicles;

　　Building backup power supply;

　　Off-grid power supply for communication station applications;

　　Backup or off-grid megawatt power systems for industrial plants or municipal installations.

　　The common feature of all usage situations is the need for an ion-exchange membrane to provide durability and performance. Nafion™ Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) meets this need.

　　Improved electrical conductivity and enhanced durability with proton exchange membranes

　　Nafion™ membranes can be used to produce fuel cells that can be operated efficiently for years. Many engineers and designers have designated Nafion™ PEM as a necessity for their fuel cell development because of the following characteristics:

　　Thickness;

　　Electrical Conductivity;

　　Intensity;

　　Water Resistance;

　　Chemical Durability.

　　These characteristics can meet the requirements of new design and working conditions. In particular, fuel cells using Nafion™ PEM could:

　　Make good use of intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar or wind;

　　Operate at relatively low temperatures;

　　Adjust electrical output as required to meet dynamic power requirements;

　　Nafion membranes have good performances of proton conductivity, mechanical strength, and chemical durability for efficient operation and lasting fuel cells. In the future, we will continue to develop new Nafion membrane products, provide strong technical supports and a world-class product supply chain to fully meet the growing market demand.
