Increasing the operating temperature is most effective to enhance the CO tolerance of PEMFCs and therefore is of high technological significance. Here, we report a new PEMFC based on SiO2 nanoparticles doped phosphoric acid/polybenzimidazole (PA/PBI/SiO2) composite membranes for operation at temperatures higher than 200 °C. The phosphoric acid within the polymer matrix is stabilized by PA/phosphosilicate nanoclusters formed via prior polarization treatment of the membrane cells at 250 °C at a cell voltage of 0.6 V for 24 h, achieving a high proton conductivity and excellent stability at temperatures beyond that of conventional PA/PBI membranes. The proton conductivity of PA/PBI/SiO2 composite membranes is in the range of 0.029–0.041 S cm−1 and is stable at 250 °C. The PA/PBI/SiO2 composite membrane cell displays an exceptional CO tolerance with a negligible loss in performance at CO contents as high as 11.7% at 240 °C. The cell delivers a peak power density of 283 mW cm−2 and is stable at 240 °C for 100 h under a cell voltage of 0.6 V in 6.3% CO-contained H2 fuel under anhydrous conditions.
