Enhanced proton conduction of chitosan membrane enabled by halloysite nanotubes bearing sulfonate polyelectrolyte brushes

Currently, enhancing the proton conductivity is one challenge for chitosan (CS, an industrial waste around the world) membrane to work as proton exchange membrane for direct methanol fuel cell. In this study, halloysite nanotubes bearing sulfonate polyelectrolyte brushes (SHNTs) are synthesized via...
