Molecules 2020, 25, 1712 34 of 44 percentage of graphene oxide contributes to sensibly lower methanol crossover leading to better performance also a low methanol concentration. Moreover, GO composite membrane extends the operating temperature range for hydrogen PEMFC due to the fact that GO retains more water, so it decreases the loss in proton conductivity. Among all the composite membranes described in this review paper, inorganic fillers are the most versatile materials: their good thermal stability, improved water uptake and reduced methanol absorbance, provided high power density for DMFC and PEMFC but also allow high temperature and pressure operating conditions for electrolysis. Ionic liquids can be potentially used at intermediate temperatures once performance increases. Despite these positive results, durability tests are necessary to understand the real capacity of those fillers. Other materials like SPEEK and PVA are used to completely substitute Nafion. They seem to be a promising alternative to obtain high performance membranes. Research activities on their potentialities are still ongoing. Funding: This research received no external funding.
