The polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) of the present invention charged with a proton conductor in the collimated pores of a polymer film that is equipped with a plurality of such collimated pores in the direction of the film thickness is characterized with a relative standard deviation (LVar/LAve) equal to or below 0.3 wherein LAve and LVar represent an average value of L, distances between centers of the adjacent collimated pores and the standard deviation thereof, respectively. <??>In addition, the PEM of the present invention can be prepared by installing a plurality of pores in the polymer film in the direction of the film thickness using photolithography and, subsequently, charging the above collimated pores with a proton conductor. <??>Such constitution of the present invention can provide PEM with a small size, and improved performance and productivity; and also improvement of cell performance by inhibiting methanol permeation of DMFC that uses methanol as its fuel. <IMAGE> |
