Excellent thermal stability and mechanical properties are exhibited by high‐proton‐conductive membranes synthesized by a facile copolymerization of tetrafluoroethylene, ethylene, and CH 2 CHCF 2 CF 2 OCF 2 CF 2 SO 2 F (see scheme and AFM image). These membranes have been successfully used in a direct MeOH fuel cell.
