The technical objective of this project is to develop and master a series of technologies to prepare/produce the commercialization-ready high-performance quarternary phosphorium (QP)-based hydroxide exchange membranes (HEMs) that have high hydroxide conductivity, outstanding alkaline-stability, suitable dimension-stability, and high hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC) performance. This project will help the United States maintain, unquestionably, the technological lead in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies. If successful, the technology will save at least 163 million barrels of gasoline consumption and eliminate about 60 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emission every year.
