| Abstract: | We review the literature on proton conductivity and water uptake of composite polymer electrolyte membranes comprising bicontinuous hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains with well-controlled geometries. Both quantities appear to be enhanced when the width of the hydrophilic channels is smaller than 6 nm. |
