title: Towards neat methanol operation of direct methanol fuel cells: a novel self-assembled proton exchange membrane.
abstract: We report here a novel proton exchange membrane with remarkably high methanol-permeation resistivity and excellent proton conductivity enabled by carefully designed self-assembled ionic conductive channels. A direct methanol fuel cell utilizing the membrane performs well with a 20 M methanol solution, very close to the concentration of neat methanol.
