Review of the Literature on the Thermal Stability and Conductivity of Solid Acid Fuel Cells

The fuel cell carries the promise of being ecologically beneficial and being one of the renewable energy choices. Solid acids have super-protonic behavior, allowing them to act as conductors. It can operate at high temperatures. Hydration, on the other hand, can be employed to increase the solid acid and performance. Furthermore, the size of the electrolyte membrane influences the conductivity, stability, and crystal structure of the fuel cell solid acid compounds. Very few studies have been conducted on solid acid fuel cells, which are still being researched in order to make them feasible as well as a trustworthy alternative to clean renewable energy. This review presents an outline of the variables or attributes and current challenges that influence the technical efficacy and performance of the unique super-protonic conductors for solid acid fuel cells.
