Electrochemical cell and fuel cell using the same

摘要

An electrochemical cell includes an electrolyte membrane containing an ionic conductor. The ionic conductor includes:
(a) a cation expressed by one of Formulae (1) and (2):
€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ R 1 R 2 R 3 HX + €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ(1)
where, in Formula (1), X indicates any one of N and P, and R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each indicate any one of alkyl groups C1 to C18 except a structure in which R 1 =R 2 =R 3 ,
€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ R 1 R 2 HS + €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ(2)
where, in Formula (2), R 1 and R 2 each indicate any one of alkyl groups C1 to C18 except a structure in which R 1 =R 2 ; and
(b) an anion expressed by Formula (3):
€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ R 4 YO m (OH) n-1 O - €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ(3)
where, in Formula (3), Y indicates any one of S, C, N and P, R 4 indicates any one of an alkyl group and a fluoroalkyl group, and m and n each indicate any one of 1 and 2.
