Although sulfonic acid (SA)-based proton-exchange membranes (PEMs) dominate fuel cell applications at low temperature, while sulfonation on polymers would strongly decay the mechanical stability limit the applicable at elevated temperatures due to the strong dependence of proton conduction of SA on water. For the purpose of bifunctionally improving mechanical property and high-temperature performance, Nafion membrane, which is a commercial SA-based PEM, is composited with fabricated silica nanofibers with a three-dimensional network structure via electrospinning by considering the excellent water retention capacity of silica. The proton conductivity of the silica nanofiber–Nafion composite membrane at 110 °C is therefore almost doubled compared with that of a pristine Nafion membrane, while the mechanical stability of the composite Nafion membrane is enhanced by 44%. As a result, the fuel cell performance of the silica nanofiber-Nafion composite membrane measured at high temperature and low humidity is improved by 38%.

Oxide ceramics such as alumina and zirconia are industrially utilized as cutting tools, a variety of bearings, biomaterials, and thermal and corrosion-resistant coatings due to their high hardness, chemical inertness, high melting point, and ability to retain mechanical strength at elevated temperatures. In this research, the effect of other ceramic additives (TiO2) and h-BN within alumina(α-Al2O3) and yttria-stabilized tetragonal (Y-TZP) composite was studied with respect to the mechanical and tribological properties. The lowest coefficient of frction of 0.45 was observed for the ZTA ceramic composite with hBN-TiO2. The highest hardness, fracture toughness and flexural strength were obtained as 15.7GPa, 5.2MPam-1/2, 712MPa, respectively.
