Abstract

Crystalline organosilica mesoporous materials (OMMs) have been directly synthesized with mercaptopropyl side chains and framework ethylene, benzene, and biphenyl groups. Preliminary OMMs with benzene framework groups and propylsulfonic acid side chains have exhibited proton conductivity as high as 8.97×10-3 S/cm. The optimization of organosilica material proton conductivity for fuel cell applications is ongoing.
