Self assembled 12-tungstophosphoric acid-silica mesoporous nanocomposites as proton exchange membranes for direct alcohol fuel cells

A highly ordered inorganic electrolyte based on 12-tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40, abbreviated as HPW or PWA)–silica mesoporous nanocomposite was synthesized through a facile one-step self-assembly between the positively charged silica precursor and negatively charged PW12O40 3- species. The self...
