    Abstract: The present invention relates to an ion conducting polymer including a partially branched block copolymer; a method of preparing the same; an ion conductor including the ion conducting polymer; an electrolytic membrane including the ion conducting polymer; a membrane-electrode assembly comprising the electrolytic membrane, and a battery comprising the same; and a separation membrane for a redox flow battery including the ion conducting polymer, and a redox flow battery comprising same. Specifically, the partially branched block copolymer includes: a first block including a hydrophilic first polymer; a second block derived from a hydrophobic second polymer having two or more reactive groups respectively on its both ends, in such a way as to form branching points forming side branches on a main chain; and optionally a third block including a hydrophobic third polymer. The ion conducting polymer in the form of a partially branched block copolymer can prepare a polymer membrane having improved conductivity and superior physical properties such as tensile strength elongation at break, etc., while having the same or similar ion-exchange capacity (IEC), percentage water absorption and/or degree of dimensional change compared to conventional ion conducting polymers in the form of linear block copolymers. Because of such outstanding physical properties, the polymer membrane can be used as a membrane-electrode assembly for a fuel cell, and a redox flow battery comprising the same as a separation membrane can exhibit outstanding cell performance and maintain high discharge charge capacity retention rate even when repeatedly charged and discharged several times.
