A new type of metal-organic framework, [Cd(pdc)(HO)(DMA)] (pdc = 3,5-pyrazoledicarboxylic acid; DMA = dimethylamine), named Cd-MOF, was synthesized and characterized. There are regular rectangular pore channels containing a large number of dimethylamine cations in the crystal structure. AC impedance test results show the proton conductivity of Cd-MOF reaches 1.15 × 10 S cm at 363 K and 98% RH. In order for its application in fuel cells, the Cd-MOF was introduced into a sulfonated polyphenylene oxide matrix to prepare a hybrid membrane, and the proton conductivity of the hybrid membrane has a high value of 2.64 × 10 S cm at 343 K and 98% RH, which is higher than those of most MOF polymer hybrid membranes. The proton conductivity of the hybrid membrane of the SPPO polymer still maintains a certain degree of stability in a wide temperature range. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first proton exchange membrane that combines pyrazolecarboxylate cadmium MOFs and an SPPO polymer with high proton conductivity and good stability. This research may help to further develop the application of MOFs in the field of proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
