Highly Conductive Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Containing Ionic Liquid

Highly Conductive Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Containing Imidazole-Based Ionic Liquid

This technology relates to a highly conductive polymer electrolyte membrane that incorporates an imidazole-based ionic liquid.

Conventional polymer electrolyte membranes have faced limitations in stable application to electrochemical devices due to the difficulty of simultaneously achieving high ionic conductivity and mechanical stability.

By utilizing an imidazole-based ionic liquid, this technology can be applied to fuel cell and secondary battery electrolyte membranes to ensure high ionic conductivity and stability.
