ORGANIC SUPERACIDS, POLYMERS DERIVED FROM ORGANIC SUPERACIDS, AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME

摘要

One embodiment of the invention contemplates a proton exchange membrane for use in a variety of fuel cells. The proton exchange membrane may comprise a solid phase organic based copolymer material in which a first structural unit is derived from a polymerizable organic super acid. The organic super acid may comprise an acid group such as a sulfonic acid group or a carboxylic acid group.
