Due to rising energy demand and global warming, the world is shifting from nonrenewable energy to renewable sources, such as fuel cells (FCs), due to their high energy conversion efficiency and environmental friendliness. A proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an environmentally friendly and efficient FC. It converts the chemical energy stored in hydrogen fuel into electrical energy. A polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) is a core element of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA). It transfers a proton from the anode to cathode, restricts electron flow across the membrane surface, and prevents reactant mixing. Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK)-based membranes are effective PEMs as compared to commonly used Nafion membranes due to their excellent chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability as well as cost-effectiveness. However, it suffers from poor proton conductivity. Normally, the proton conductivity of SPEEK can be improved by enhancing the degree of sulfonation (DS) and temperature and reducing the relative humidity (RH). However, the high DS of SPEEK and temperature with low RH tend to reduce the mechanical strength of PEM, which consequently sacrifices the membrane's lifetime. Therefore, the design of efficient SPEEK PEMs requires further modifications to improve the proton conductivity and strength, which can simultaneously enhance single-cell performance and durability. Therefore, this article reviews the advancements and various strategies to achieve high-performance and long-lived SPEEK-based PEMs. First, the tuning of SPEEK was performed by varying the DS of SPEEK. Second, the progress of modifying SPEEK with inorganic nano additives and metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) was also discussed comprehensively. The review also summarizes the influence of electrically and magnetically aligned nanoparticles on FC performance and membrane durability. Thus, the present review paper can be used as a reference for controlling different parameters to develop both efficient and durable SPEEK-based PEMs that can potentially compete with Nafion-based membranes for FC applications.

“…This approach aims to ensure a stable and reliable energy supply while minimizing the negative environmental impact [9]. According to Habib et al [10], the transition towards a hydrogen economy is outlined in three key steps. The initial step involves the production of hydrogen from sustainable sources alongside the development of FCs for residential applications.…”

The adoption of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells (FCs) is of great significance in diverse industries, as they provide high efficiency and environmental advantages, enabling the transition to sustainable and clean energy solutions. This study aims to enhance the output power of PEM-FCs by employing the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and modern optimization algorithms. Initially, an ANFIS model is developed based on empirical data to simulate the output power density of the PEM-FC, considering factors such as pressure, relative humidity, and membrane compression. The Salp swarm algorithm (SSA) is subsequently utilized to determine the optimal values of the input control parameters. The three input control parameters of the PEM-FC are treated as decision variables during the optimization process, with the objective to maximize the output power density. During the modeling phase, the training and testing data exhibit root mean square error (RMSE) values of 0.0003 and 24.5, respectively. The coefficient of determination values for training and testing are 1.0 and 0.9598, respectively, indicating the successfulness of the modeling process. The reliability of SSA is further validated by comparing its outcomes with those obtained from particle swarm optimization (PSO), evolutionary optimization (EO), and grey wolf optimizer (GWO). Among these methods, SSA achieves the highest average power density of 716.63 mW/cm2, followed by GWO at 709.95 mW/cm2. The lowest average power density of 695.27 mW/cm2 is obtained using PSO.
