Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a composite proton exchange membrane for a fuel cell and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a multilayer proton exchange membrane and a preparation method thereof. The prepared multilayer proton exchange membrane has better water retention performance, self-humidification performance and resistance to reaction gas permeability. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell (Fuel Cell, FC) is an electrochemical power generation device that operates cleanly, efficiently and quietly. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) has a good application prospect in industries such as mobile appliances and automobiles due to its low operating temperature and high specific power density. [0003] Most of the proton exchange membranes currently used in fuel cells require the presence of water to conduct protons, and the water produced by the cathode reaction is not enough to wet the entire membrane due to the weak back diffusion ...
