  • Polymer electrolyte for solid polymer type fuel cell and fuel cell
    Patent number: 7258941
    Abstract: A polyelectrolyte for a solid polymeric fuel cell comprising an aromatic polyether sulfone block copolymer comprising a hydrophilic segment containing sulfonic acid groups and a hydrophobic segment having no sulfonic acid group at a hydrophilic segment weight fraction W2 to hydrophobic segment weight fraction W1 ratio falling within a range of 0.6<W2/W1<2.0. The polyelectrolyte for a solid polymeric fuel cell is inexpensive and durable, and its proton conductivity is less influenced by humidity and temperature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 7, 2002
    Date of Patent: August 21, 2007
    Assignee: UBE Industries, Ltd.
