Researchers at National Sun Yat-sen University have developed two new proton exchange membranes, SYS7-H and SYS7-L, which enhance proton conductivity by 102% and 88% over DuPont's Nafion 211, respectively. This innovation improves battery energy conversion efficiency and supports hydrogen energy initiatives, with plans for large-scale commercial production in collaboration with Shin Yuan Technology by next year. The membranes are cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and suitable for applications in hydrogen-powered vehicles and energy storage systems, bolstering Taiwan's position in the global energy sector.
