Many anhydrous proton conducting materials have been developed over the past decade. These materials include ionic liquids, polybenzimidazol, polysufones, covalent organic frameworks, coordination polymers, and metal organic frameworks . Despite their promise, these membranes face practical challenges and are not currently used in PEMFCs. We propose the use of a membrane constructed from graphanol, shown in Figure , which is a 2-D proton conducting material that can be incorporated in a PEMFC, as illustrated in Figure . Graphanol is the hydroxyl functionalized form of graphane (sp 3 hydrogentated version of graphene). Computational studies have shown that functionalized graphane has higher predicted proton conductivity under anhydrous conditions compared to other materials .
