Enhancement of anhydrous proton transport by supramolecular nanochannels in comb polymers Nature Chemistry 2, 503 (2010). doi:10.1038/nchem.629 Authors: Yangbin Chen, Michael Thorn, Scott Christensen, Craig Versek, Ambata Poe, Ryan C. Hayward, Mark T. Tuominen & S. Thayumanavan Efficient conduction of protons on a micrometre scale is critical for the development of fuel cell membranes — a key component of clean energy sources. Now, self-assembling amphiphilic polymers have been shown to provide a nanoscale organization of proton-conducting functionalities that dramatically increases anhydrous proton conductivity. |
