Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a sulfonic acid group-containing polymer and a sulfonic acid group-containing aromatic compound, which have excellent proton conductivity even under the low humidification condition, are excellent in mechanical strength and chemical stability and, moreover, can attain high output and excellent physical durability when processed into a solid polymer fuel cell, as well as a polymer electrolyte material, a polymer electrolyte molded product and a solid polymer fuel cell respectively using the same. The sulfonic acid group-containing polymer of the present invention is a sulfonic acid group-containing polymer comprising a constituent unit containing a sulfonic acid group (A1), and a constituent unit not containing a sulfonic acid group (A2), wherein the polymer contains a constituent unit having a specified structure as at least one constituent unit containing a sulfonic acid group (A1) at 25 mol % or more based on a sum of the constituent unit containing a sulfonic acid group (A1). Further, the polymer electrolyte material, polymer electrolyte molded product and solid polymer fuel cell of the present invention are constituted using such a sulfonic acid group-containing polymer.
