Abstract: The fuel cell is considered one of the most promising and potential clean energy technologies in the twenty-first century,The proton exchange membrane(PEM),which is the core component of fuel cells,has a significant impact on the performance of fuel cells.In view of the shortcomings of perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membrane in high temperature and low humidity working environment,it is an effective solution to prepare low cost and high performance inorganic-organic composite proton exchange membrane.The main inorganic filler for the preparation of inorganic-organic composite proton exchange membrane was used as the classification basis.The research status of inorganic-organic composite proton exchange membranes at home and abroad in recent years was introduced.The relation between performance of various inorganic fillers and composite proton exchange membranes was reviewed.And the future research direction was also discussed.
