P
olymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC) is promising energy generating system because of their high energy conversion
efficiency, low temperature operation and compact cell design. We designed a novel Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM)
for PEFC using inexpensive materials and fabricating precise nanostructures. We have focused on general inorganic filler filling
method, which has advantage on improvement of heat resistance and gas barrier properties of the membrane. The structure of
designed novel PEM composed of 2D oriented proton conductive polymer and spherical silica Nano Particles (NPs). Our PEM
consists of silica NPs with proton conductive polymer layer prepared by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer
Polymerization with Particles (RAFT PwP) on its surface. RAFT PwP can prepare precisely adsorbed hydrophilic polymer layer
on particles surface, 2D ion conductive channel consists of weak acids can be effectively prepared. As a primary examination,
proton conductive polymer was selected as inexpensive polymers with easy handling to examine our model.
