Abstract
As per the growing concerns on the depletion of petroleum-based energy resources and climate change, fuel cell technologies have become a big area of research in recent years owing to their high efficiencies and low emissions. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells have the advantages of high efficiency, low operating temperature, and fast start-up, are being involved in various applications. Though many technical and associated fundamental breakthroughs have been achieved during last couple of decades, many challenges such as reducing cost and improving durability while maintaining performance remain prior to the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. In this review, we discussed a number of aspects such as various types of fuel cells, their synthesis and applications with a focused account on proton exchange fuel cells.
