Ordered mesoporous zirconium phosphate films were prepared on a silicon substrate by spin coating using a mixture of zirconium isopropoxide, triethyl phosphate, Pluronic P123 triblock copolymer, nitric acid, ethanol, and water. The spin-on film was consecutively treated with vapors of phosphoric acid and ammonia. The post-vapor treatments effectively enhanced the thermal stability of an ordered mesostructure when heated to 500 degrees C. XRD and TEM analyses show that the calcined zirconium phosphate film has a hexagonal structure with straight channels parallel to the film surface. The zirconium phosphate film exhibited high proton conductivity of 0.02 S/cm parallel to the film surface at 80% RH and 25 degrees C.
