A new proton conductor based on 1H-1,2,3-triazole doped nanocrystalline cellulose (2.66 CNC-Tri) has been synthesized for possible use as an electrolyte in proton exchange membrane (PEM) cells. The physicochemical properties of 2.66 CNC-Tri were determined and compared with those of imidazole-doped nanocrystalline (1.17 CNC-Im) and pure nanocrystalline cellulose (CNC). The composites were obtained in the form of a film and their synthesis proceeded under vacuum. The maximum conductivity of 2.66 CNC-Tri was measured to be 0.1 × 10⁻⁴ S/m at 175 °C and that of 1.17 CNC-Im to be 1.6 × 10⁻² S/m at 155 °C, in the anhydrous state. The composite 2.66 CNC-Tri, compared to 1.17 CNC-Im, has much better thermal properties manifested as stability of the matrix and durability of the heterocyclic molecule. The lifetimes of 2.66 CNC-Tri fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy for the minimum lifetimes of a PEM based fuel cell for cars.

合成了一种新的基于1H-1,2,3-三唑掺杂的纳米晶纤维素的质子导体（2.66 CNC-Tri），可用作质子交换膜（PEM）电池中的电解质。测定了2.66 CNC-Tri的理化性质，并将其与掺有咪唑的纳米晶（1.17 CNC-Im）和纯纳米晶纤维素（CNC）进行了比较。以薄膜形式获得复合材料，并且它们的合成在真空下进行。 在175°C下测得的2.66 CNC-Tri的最大电导率为0.1×10 ^-4 S / m，而1.17 CNC-Im的最大电导率为1.6×10 ^-2 155°C下的S / m，无水状态。与1.17 CNC-Im相比，复合材料2.66 CNC-Tri具有更好的热性能，表现为基体的稳定性和杂环分子的耐用性。2.66 CNC-Tri的使用寿命符合美国能源部对基于PEM的汽车燃料电池的最小使用寿命的要求。
