Fabrication and Properties of Graphene Oxide/Sulfonated Polyethersulfone Layer-by-layer Assembled Polyester Fiber Composite Proton Exchange Membranes

Using the hydrogen-bonding interaction between graphene oxide(GO) and sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES), we constructed the multilayer structure of GO and SPES on the polyester fiber mats via layer-by-layer self-assembly. In each self-assembled layer, sulfonic acid groups are arranged along the axis of fiber, which provides the long-range proton transmission channels, promoting the rapidly proton conduction. The performances of the composite membranes based on SPES and multilayer assembled polyester fiber mats were studied. The results show that the proton conductivity of composite membranes increases with the increasing assembly layers. At the same time, the mechanical properties and methanol-resistance of the composite membranes were obviously improved.     

Energy material - the role of silicotungstic acid and fly ash in sulfonated poly (ether sulfone) composites for PEMFC applications

The composite polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared from sulfonated poly (ether sulfone) (SPES), silicotungstic acid (STA) and fly ash (FA). Post sulfonation process was adopted to synthesize SPES using sulphuric and chlorosulfonic acid. The prepared electrolyte membranes were examined by water uptake capacity, swelling ratio, ion-exchange ability, proton conductivity, thermal stability and electrochemical performance for evaluating the pertinence of these membranes in fuel cell applications. As such the pristine membrane restricts with the proton conductivity of 0.042?S cm^?1 at 30?°C and 0.060?S cm^?1 at 90?°C while the polymer composite membrane, SP-STA-FA-10 reveals the maximum conductivity of 0.054?S cm^?1 at 30?°C and 0.073?S cm^?1 at 90?°C. It also exhibits good thermal stability than that of the pure membrane. The membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) have been successfully developed from SPES as well as SP-STA-FA-10 membranes and their electrochemical performance were studied the wide range of current density. Herein, the composite membranes derived from SPES, STA and FA can be viable candidates for fuel cell applications.     

Polyethersulfone sulfonated by chlorosulfonic acid and its membrane characteristics

Sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES) was prepared by homogeneous method with chlorosulfonic acid as sulfonating agent and concentrated sulfuric acid as solvent. The presence of sulfonic acid groups in SPES was confirmed by ¹H NMR and FTIR. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) studies were carried out to investigate the thermal stability of SPES. Membranes were cast from SPES solutions in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Tensile strength of prepared membranes decreased with degree of sulfonation (DS) but water uptakes of SPES membranes increased with DS. Compared with unsulfonated polyethersulfone membrane, the hydrophilicity of SPES membranes was increased, as shown by a reduced contact angle with water. Amorphous structures for SPES membranes were detected by X-ray diffraction. Atomic force microscopy phase images of the membranes clearly showed the hydrophilic domains at higher DS.

The degradation mechanism of sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)s in an oxidative environment

The degradation of sulfonated aromatic hydrocarbons based polymer electrolyte membranes is an important issue for fuel cell stability. However, its mechanism is relatively unclear. We have conducted accelerated radical tests and degradation product analysis for various sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) (SPES) compounds. We evaluated the chemical durability of SPES, and observed its degradation mechanism under oxidative attack by hydrogen peroxide. Various SPES compounds were synthesized from 4,4′-biphenol, 4,4′-dihydroxy diphenyl sulfone, and 4,4′-dihydroxy benzophenone comonomers, and their physical properties were evaluated. SPES copolymerized with 4,4′-dihydroxy diphenyl sulfone had a higher durability towards oxidative attack compared with the other compounds studied, and SPES copolymerized with 4,4′-dihydroxy benzophenone exhibited the lowest durability.     

Preparation of composite hollow fiber membranes: co-extrusion of hydrophilic coatings onto porous hydrophobic support structures

Coating a layer onto a support membrane can serve as a means of surface functionalization of membranes. Frequently, this procedure is a two-step process. In this paper, we describe a concept of membrane preparation in which a coating layer forms in situ onto a support membrane in one step by a co-extrusion process. Our aim is to apply a thin ion exchange layer (sulfonated polyethersulfone, SPES) onto a polysulfone support. The mechanical stability and adhesion of the ion-exchange material to the hydrophobic support membrane (polysulfone) has been studied by a systematic approach of initial proof-of-principle experiments, followed by single layer and double-layer flat sheet casting. Critical parameters quantified by the latter experiments are translated into the co-extrusion spinning process. The composite hollow fiber membrane has low flux as a supported liquid membrane for the copper removal due to the low ion exchange capacity of the SPES. The coating layer of the composite membrane is porous as indicated by gas pair selectivity close to unity. However, our new composite membrane has good nanofiltration properties: it passes mono and bivalent inorganic salts but rejects larger charged organic molecules. The experimental work demonstrates that co-extrusion can be a viable process to continuously prepare surface tailored hollow fiber membranes in a one-step process, even if the support and coating material differ significantly in hydrophilicity.     

Enhancing proton conductivity of proton exchange membrane with SPES nanofibers containing porous organic cage

Effective proton conducting sites and establishing proton channels are two critical factors in developing high‐performance proton exchange membranes. This study first establishes a strategy in designing effective proton conducting channels for Nafion by using solution blowing of sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES) nanofibers containing CC3, which is an emerging porous organic cage that possesses the advantages of dissolvable organic solvents and high proton conduction from its interconnected three‐dimensional pore structure. Our strategy results in SPES nanofiber networks with CC3 uniformly involved in and composite membranes with Nafion‐filled interfiber voids. Benefiting from such structural features, the composite membrane exhibits high proton conductivity (0.315 S cm^?1 at 80°C and 100% RH), low methanol permeability (0.69 × 10^?7 cm² S^?1), excellent water absorption, thermal and dimensional stability, and single‐cell performance. This study provides not only a valuable reference for the application of CC3 but also a new idea for establishment of proton transfer channels.
