A Review on the Fabrication of Electrospun Polymer Electrolyte Membrane for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell

Table 11

Summary of the effect of electrospinning parameters on the performance of fuel cell in terms of proton conductivity and methanol permeability.

Parameter increase	Fiber structure	Proton conductivity	Methanol permeability	Remark on methanol permeability
Voltage applied	Decrease in fiber diameter, thinner fiber	Increases	Decreases	With contribution of filler within the parent polymer matrices
Needle to collector distance	Decrease in fiber diameter	Increases	Decreases	With contribution of filler within the parent polymer matrices
Viscosity of dope solution	Fiber without beads, smooth fiber	Increases	Decreases	With contribution of filler within the parent polymer matrices
