An oligomer solid acid and a polymer electrolyte membrane using the same. The polymer electrolyte membrane includes a macromolecule of oligomer solid acid having an ionically conductive terminal group at its terminal end and the minimum amount of ionically conductive terminal groups required for ion conduction, thus suppressing swelling and allowing a uniform distribution of the oligomer solid acid, thereby improving ionic conductivity. Since the number of ionically conductive terminal groups in the polymer electrolyte membrane is minimized and the polymer matrix in which swelling is suppressed is used, methanol crossover and difficulties of outflow due to a large volume are minimized, and a macromolecule of the oligomer solid acid having the ionically conductive terminal groups on the surface thereof is uniformly distributed. Accordingly, ionic conductivity is high and thus, the polymer electrolyte membrane shows good ionic conductivity even in low humidity conditions. |
