Abstract

A novel 3D core–shell material composed of polyacrylate carboxyl microspheres (PCMs) and ZIF-8 nanoparticles was used to promote proton conduction in the Nafion matrix. The Nafion/ZIF-8@PCM membranes displayed excellent proton conductivity (0.24 S cm−1) and physicochemical properties due to special structural characteristics. More importantly, this new concept has a strong practical guiding significance for the fabrication of novel PEMs.
