Abstract

Provided is a polymer electrolyte membrane for SF 6 separation, using a nitrate electrolyte, where the nitrate is solvated in the membrane to thus form ionic aggregates, whereby polar SF 6 has difficulty passing through the membrane due to the barrier effect of the ionic aggregates, thus enabling the separation of SF 6 .
