these Nafion electrolytes will reach a scale of production far exceeding the current levels. This change will bring about significant challenges for companies who manufacture the electrolyte but also offer tremendous opportunity.
It is likely that these future ubiquitous electrolytes for PEMFC will look different, produce much less pollution during manufacturing
and cost much less than the electrolyte that dominate the commercial landscape today. Optimizing PEMFC and positive environmental impactsfuture PEMFC will have to use low grade (inexpensive) hydrogen gas
