We used a new strategy to develop a hybrid membrane by impregnating hygroscopic zirconia and ionic liquid in the chitosan-PVA blend. The effects of ionic liquids on the water uptake, IEC, phase transition behavior, methanol permeability, and proton conductivity of the hybrid membrane were studied. The ionic liquids have a synergetic effect on the chain flexibility and tensile strength of the thin film. The developed hybrid membrane has the lowest methanol permeability of 0.94 × 10 −7  cm 2 s −1 . The polarization curve obtained for a fuel cell operating at 70°C and 2 M methanol feed provides the maximum power density of 97 mWcm −2 .
