Open Access Research Article Enhancing the Wettability of Polyetheretherketone (Peek) Membrane with Ozone for Improving Fuel Cell Performance by Hunter Heineman  , Omran Omar  , Benjamin Rippel  , Ryan Keeley  , Michael Mehan  , Surendra Gupta  and Gerald A. Takacs Received: 21 August 2022;  Published: 06 December 2022;  doi: 10.21926/jept.2204040 Abstract Ozone was reacted with the aromatic membrane polyetheretherketone (PEEK) to form oxidized functional groups on the surface to enhance the attraction and transport of protons in fuel cells. Ozonation of unsaturated C-C sp2 bonds in PEEK formed a primary ozonide which dissociated to primarily produce O=C-O/O=C-OH moieties [...]
