In this study, the side-chain type hybrid proton exchange membranes which based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and organic matrix of sulfonated poly (arylene ether ketone sulfone) containing both long and short sulfonic acid side chains (C-SPAEKS-DBS) were prepared. MOF-801 was used as a template and then imidazole was encapsulated into MOF-801 as additional proton carriers. In imidazole -MOF-801, imidazole was used as a functional group to coordinate with the zirconium metal site of the functional group. Imidazole-MOF-801 and hybrid membranes were characterized by XRD, 1H NMR and FT-IR. These hybrid membranes exhibited excellent proton conductivity and good thermal stability.
