Description of Related ArtPerfluorosulfonic acid-based polymers as represented by Nafion® are widely used as electrolyte films for polymer electrolyte fuel cells. However, since perfluorosulfonic acid-based polymers are extremely expensive, various proposals have been made regarding alternative materials thereto. One of these is a phosphonic acid polymer having phosphate groups introduced into a polymer side chain. An example of such a phosphonic acid polymer is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2003-257238 (JP-A-2003-257238), and has phosphate groups introduced into the aromatic ring of polystyrene through methylene groups.However, the phosphonic acid polymer disclosed in JP-A-2003-257238 has an aromatic group having a large molecular weight in repeating units thereof.
