A good electrochemical performance of polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) is achieving high membrane selectivity, which is a result of low ethanol permeability and high proton conductivity. Reducing the thickness of PEMs is beneficial for high proton conductivity due to the short distance of proton...
