This thesis is devoted to the development of including synthesis and characterization of
various polybenzimidazoles (PBIs)-based proton exchange membranes (PEMs) and their potential
as promising materials for the use in high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HTPEMFCs).
The thread which connects all the working chapters of current thesis is
polybenzimidazoles (PBI)-based proton exchange membranes (PEMs). The Chapter 1 gives the
insights about fuel cells and also describes various PBI polymer synthesis at the outset and then
investigates into the details of PEM and its utility in HT-PEMFCs.
