ABSTRACT:
An electrochemical device and a proton conducting medium for use in an electrochemical device having a proton conducting electrolyte comprising the formula:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?HaMbQ.nH2Oin-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?where H is a proton, M is a cation, Q is the fluoroborate or fluoroheteroborate anion, n ranges from 0.01 to 1000, a ranges from 0.01 to 2 and b ranges from 0 to 2, a and b are chosen to render the formula electrically neutral, and when b is greater than 0, the ratio of b to a is less than 100 to 1.
