Synthesis and Properties of Phosphoric-Acid-Doped Polybenzimidazole with Hyperbranched Cross-Linkers Decorated with Imidazolium Groups as High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membranes

Highly phosphoric-acid (PA)-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes exhibit good proton conductivity at high temperatures; however, they suffer from reduced mechanical properties and loss of PA molecules due to the plasticity of PA and the weak interactions between PA and benzimidazoles, especially...
