مستخلص: How to simultaneously improved the proton conductivity and mechanical strength is a key problem facing currently used proton exchange membranes (PEMs). Herein, a solid inorganic superacid‐zirconium phosphate (ZrP) with a two‐dimensional layer structure was combined with one‐dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to prepare hybrid nanofiller ZrP‐CNTs by an in situ chemical deposition method. The new hybrid nanofiller was then applied to modify sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK), a widely used PEM matrix, to obtain a series of composite membranes. The structure and properties of the membranes were fully characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, TG, tensile properties, and proton conductivity. The results showed that the proton conductivities of the membranes were significantly improved due to the addition of super solid acid‐ZrP that has abundant proton sources or proton sites. Moreover, the composite membranes exhibited better mechanical properties and thermal stability than those of pure SPEEK membrane, owing to the great interface interaction and good compatibility between ZrP‐CNTs and SPEEK. The composite membrane (2 wt% ZrP‐CNTs) demonstrated the optimal comprehensive performance. Its proton conductivity was 36.63 mS cm−1 and its tensile strength was 37.56 MPa, which was 70% and 10%, respectively, higher than those of the pure SPEEK membrane under the same condition.
