| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we established nano-structure control technology for polymer electrolytes and investigated the relationship between the chemical structure and total mass transport (proton, water, and gas). It was elucidated that there is a strong correlation between the high-ordered structure and the electrolyte properties in the polymer electrolytes with controlled nanostructures, and the higher order structure of electrolytes and its orientation are the controlling factors of electrolyte properties. The electrolyte membranes and the catalyst layer ionomer to which this technology was applied were applied to the fuel cells and showed sufficient properties as the electrolyte materials for the next-generation fuel cells.
