As expected, the simulations show that the optimal PEM properties for DMFC applications are high proton conductivity to reduce the Ohmic losses and low permeability towards methanol in order to prevent the crossing over of methanol from the anode to the cathode.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.2005.09.037} (DOI).
