AB  - The escalating global temperatures and their adverse effects underscore the growing imperative for the widespread adoption of clean fuels, notably hydrogen. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) emerge as a pivotal green energy technology, facilitating electricity and water generation. The optimization of PEMFC efficiency hinges on the judicious selection and fabrication of polymer membranes. Within innovative materials, Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) represent a novel subclass within the expansive family of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). ZIFs exhibit promising potential in PEMFCs, owing to their distinctive properties such as a substantial contact surface, inherent porosity, and a sizable pore volume. This comprehensive review delves into composite membranes featuring ZIFs, shedding light on their chemical and thermal attributes. Additionally, the exploration extends to elucidating the diverse applications of ZIF compounds, accompanied by an in-depth discussion of selected chemical and thermal properties inherent to ZIF compounds. Incorporating ZIFs into various polymers yielded intriguing outcomes, demonstrating a notable enhancement in proton conductivity. The compilation of this review aims to provide researchers with foundational insights into the realm of ZIFs, serving as a valuable resource for future investigations and advancements in the field.
