Abstract

Fuel cell technology is a promising path to obtaining electrical energy. Fuel cells generate electricity and heat during the electrochemical reaction that occurs between oxygen and hydrogen to form water. The type of electrolyte used in these cells determines their effectiveness in creating the conductivity necessary for ion transport. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are those that offer the best future prospects. The polybenzimidazole family constitutes a group of attractive materials to be applied as polymeric electrolytes in PEMFC. In the present work, a review focused on the synthesis, processing and applications of polybenzimidazoles as fuel cells is presented.
