As a part of clean energy vehicles, fuel cell automobiles have been developed in the past decade. Although tremendous progress has been made, the durability and the cost of the fuel cells are the bottlenecks of the fuel cell vehicles’ commercialization. Material of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) is the key issue. The overview of the key materials of PEMFCs, i.e., electrocatalyst, proton exchange membrane and bipolar plate, is given. The hot research topics are analyzed. The key issues of PEMFCs for automobiles operation are electrocatalyst degradation, membrane degradation and bipolar plate corrosion. Possible solutions and prospective of PEMFCs are proposed.

Contents
1 Introduction
2 Electrocatalysts
3 Proton exchange membranes
4 Bipolar plates
5 Conclusion

Key words: fuel cell vehicles, electrocatalyst, proton exchange membrane, bipolar plates
