The fuel cell performance of sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES) membrane was investigated with modified TiO2 nanoparticles. TiO2 nanoparticles were modified by sulfonation (STiO2) and surface modification with PANI (STiO2-PANI). The presence of the functional groups in the modified TiO2 was confirme...
