Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="aenm201400842-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>An excellent hybrid proton exchange membrane (PEM) is prepared using a one‐step synthesis</bold> to anchor phosphotungstic acid (HPW) into a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) matrix. The hybrid membrane exhibits high proton conductivity and excellent stability. The impressive performance of a single cell based on the hybrid membrane, with a power density of 618 mW cm^–2 at 50 °C, demonstrates promising potential for application in fuel cells. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2qxd5n9q" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
