1) yielded the MEAs with the best DMFC performance. One of the MEAs was<br />

tested for 4 weeks in a DMFC and showed continuously increasing performance<br />

within this period of time. PBI/sulfonated polymer/H3PO4 blend membranes for<br />

the application in intermediate T fuel cells have been developed as well. These<br />

membranes showed good performance in fuel cells in the temperature range<br />

170-200°C, their chemical stability being even better than that of pure PBI<br />

membranes, which was ascertained by H2O2 and Fentons degradation test:<br />

during H2O2 treatment, the base-excess base-acid PBI blend membranes<br />

showed markedly less molecular weight degradation than pure PBI or sulfonated<br />

polymer, as determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
