Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A polymer electrolyte membrane having good resistance to radicals is provided. A polymer electrolyte membrane is characterized of containing organic/inorganic hybrid particles in which a surface of an inorganic particle, which is a radical scavenger, is modified with organic compounds in a polymer electrolyte. As the organic/inorganic hybrid particles in which a surface of an inorganic particle is modified with organic compounds, a radical scavenger prepared by reacting inorganic particles with organic compounds in a solvent by supercritical or subcritical hydrothermal synthesis is preferred.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A polymer electrolyte membrane containing, in a polymer electrolyte, organic/inorganic hybrid particles in which a surface of an inorganic particle, which is a radical scavenger, is modified with one or more organic compounds selected from C3-20 fluorocarbon-based carboxylic acid. 2. The polymer electrolyte membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic particle is a metal oxide particle having a mean particle size of 1 μm or less. 3. The polymer electrolyte membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the organic compounds bind to the surface of the inorganic particle via a bond selected from the group consisting of an ether linkage, an ester linkage, an N-atom-mediated bond, an S atom-mediated bond, a metal-C— bond, a metal-C═ bond, and a metal-(C═O)— bond. 4. The polymer electrolyte membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the organic compounds in the organic/inorganic hybrid particles in which the surface of the inorganic particle is modified with the organic compounds are further having functional groups. 5. The polymer electrolyte membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer electrolyte is prepared by alkaline hydrolysis and acid treatment of a polymer electrolyte precursor that exerts proton conductivity by alkaline hydrolysis and acid treatment. 6. A solid polymer fuel cell comprising the polymer electrolyte membrane according to claim 1 .
