The invention aims to provide a polymer electrolytic material excellent in proton conductivity and also excellent in fuel shutting property, and accordingly provide a polymer electrolytic fuel cell with a high efficiency. That is, the invention provides a polymer electrolytic material having an unfreezable water ratio Rw1 defined by the following expression (S1) in a range of 20 to 100% by weight in hydrated state:
Rw
1=[
Wnf/
(
Wfc+Wnf
)]×100 (S1)
in which Wnf represents the unfreezable water content per 1 g of the polymer electrolytic material in dry state and Wfc represents the low freezing point water content per 1 g of the polymer electrolytic material in dry state.
本发明的目的是提供一种质子传导性能优异且燃料关断性能优异的聚合物电解材料,从而提供一种具有高效率的聚合物电解燃料电池。也就是说,本发明提供了一种聚合物电解材料,在
