  • Publication number: 20240141558
    Abstract: Disclosed are porous multi-metal oxide nanotubes and a production method therefor. In one aspect, methods for producing porous multi-metal oxide nanotubes are provided comprising: (a) preparing an admixture comprising metal-acetylacetonate precursors, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and a solvent component; and (b) producing a nanocomposite from the admixture, wherein metals of the metal-acetylacetonate precursors comprise a non-radioactive alkali metal stable isotope and a non-radioactive alkaline earth metal stable isotope. As such, porous multi-metal oxide nanotubes having a single-phase multivalence may be obtained in high yield without using harmful chemical substances. In addition, the polymer electrolyte membrane including the porous multi-metal oxide nanotubes may have maintained and improved mechanical strength, and thus may have maintained durability even during cell operation and may also have improved proton conductivity even at low humidity.
