Preparation of alkaline anion exchange membranes based on functional poly(ether-imide) polymers for potential fuel cell applications

A novel poly(ether-imide)-based alkaline anion exchange membrane with no free base has been prepared and characterized for its ionic conductivity in water, which is a critical metric of its applicability in a liquid-fed direct methanol fuel cell. The poly(ether-imide)-based membranes were prepared by chloromethylation, quaternization and alkalization of commercial poly(ether-imide) and the derivatives were characterized by NMR. The chemical and thermal stabilities were investigated by measuring changes of ionic conductivities when the membranes were placed in various alkaline concentrations and temperatures for 24 h. The membranes were stable at all concentrations of KOH at room temperature, but not at elevated temperatures. The membranes were stable in 1.0 M KOH solution up to 80 °C without losing membrane integrity. The measured conductivity of the formed membrane ranged from 2.28 to 3.51 × 10⁻³ S/cm at room temperature. This preliminary study indicates that functionalized poly(ether-imide) has suitable conductivity suggesting that it can be used as an alkaline anion exchange membrane in fuel cell applications.

In situ polymerization: A novel route for thermally stable proton-conductive membranes

In this paper, a new solvent-free route for preparing proton-conductive membranes is proposed. Flexible and fiber-supported polymer electrolyte membranes, as potential proton exchange membranes, were readily obtained by in situ polymerization of a homogenous solution that consisted of bromomethylated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO, polymer)–monomer mixtures of styrene (ST) and divinylbenzene (DVB), which was pre-cast onto SEFAR PETEX fibers. Factors such as the components of the casting solution and the sulfonation time, were fully investigated. The membrane structure and components were confirmed by FTIR-ATR spectra and SEM-EDXA images, and the thermal stability was examined via TGA and DrTGA. The membrane exhibited a proton conductivity of about 0.07 S/cm at 100% humidity and at room temperature, which is close to that of Nafion 117 at identical conditions (around 0.08 S/cm), whereas its thickness (about 120 μm) was less than that of Nafion 117. The tensile strength and the elongation at the break of the membrane were 31.2 MPa and 71%, respectively, which are several times higher than those of Nafion (about 6.16 MPa tensile strength and 36% elongation ratio). The dimensional change ratio of the membrane between the wet and dry states was below 3%, which is much lower than that of Nafion 117. The membrane showed a high thermal stability up to 400 °C. The method can be applied to other compatible systems of (aromatic) polymers and (aromatic) monomers.

Poly(Ethylene Piperidinium)s for Anion Exchange Membranes

The lack of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) that possess both high hydroxide conductivity and stable mechanical and chemical properties poses a major challenge to the development of high-performance fuel cells. Improving one side of the balance between conductivity and stability usually means sacrificing the other. Herein, we used facile, high-yield chemical reactions to design and synthesize a piperidinium polymer with a polyethylene backbone for AEM fuel cell applications. To improve the performance, we introduced ionic crosslinking into high-cationic-ratio AEMs to suppress high water uptake and swelling while further improving the hydroxide conductivity. Remarkably, PEP80-20PS achieved a hydroxide conductivity of 354.3 mS cm⁻¹ at 80 °C while remaining mechanically stable. Compared with the base polymer PEP80, the water uptake of PEP80-20PS decreased by 69 % from 813 % to 350 %, and the swelling decreased substantially by 85 % from 350.0 % to 50.2 % at 80 °C. PEP80-20PS also showed excellent alkaline stability, 84.7 % remained after 35 days of treatment with an aqueous KOH solution. The chemical design in this study represents a significant advancement toward the development of simultaneously highly stable and conductive AEMs for fuel cell applications.     

Poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-isopropylacrylamide) semi-interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels with rapid response to temperature changes

A series of thermosensitive and fast-response poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) hydrogels were prepared by incorporating PVA into cross-linked PNIPA to form a semi-interpenetrating polymeric network (semi-IPN). Compared to the conventional PNIPA hydrogel, the semi-IPN hydrogels thus prepared exhibit significantly faster response rates and undergo full deswelling in 1 min (lose about 95% water within 1 min) when the temperature is raised above their lower critical solution temperature, and have larger equilibrium swelling ratios at room temperature. These improved properties are attributed to the incorporation of PVA, which forms water-releasing channels and results in increased hydrophilicity, into the PNIPA hydrogel networks.     

PU/PNIPAM semi-IPN微孔膜温度响应性研究

Alkaline Stable Anion Exchange Membranes Based on Cross-Linked Poly(arylene ether sulfone) Bearing Dual Quaternary Piperidines for Enhanced Anion Conductivity at Low Water Uptake

Alkaline stable anion exchange membranes based on the cross-linked poly(arylene ether sulfone) grafted with dual quaternary piperidine (XPAES-DP) units were synthesized. The chemical structure of the synthesized PAES-DP was validated using ¹H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The physicochemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of XPAES-DP membranes were compared with those of two linear PAES based membranes grafted with single piperidine (PAES-P) unit and conventional trimethyl amine (PAES-TM). XPAES-DP membrane showed the ionic conductivity of 0.021 S cm⁻¹ at 40 °C which was much higher than that of PAES-P and PAES-TM because of the possession of more quaternary ammonium groups in the cross-linked structure. This cross-linked structure of the XPAES-DP membrane resulted in a higher tensile strength of 18.11 MPa than that of PAES-P, 17.09 MPa. In addition, as the XPAES-DP membrane shows consistency in the ionic conductivity even after 96 h in 3 M KOH solution with a minor change, its chemical stability was assured for the application of anion exchange membrane fuel cell. The single-cell assembled with XPAES-DP membrane displayed a power density of 109 mWcm⁻² at 80 °C under 100% relative humidity.     

Preparation and characterization of layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly membrane based on sulfonated polyetheretherketone and polyurethane for high‐temperature proton exchange membrane

A concept of preparing high‐temperature proton exchange membranes with layer‐by‐layer (LBL) self‐assembly technique was proposed and the sulfonated polyetheretherketone (SPEEK) and polyurethane (PU) with 200 LBL deposition cycles denoting (SPEEK/PU)₂₀₀ membrane was prepared in this research. Owing to the strong electrostatic interaction between ? group in SPEEK and ? C? N⁺ group in PU, (SPEEK/PU)₂₀₀ membrane with LBL self‐assembly structure showed a favorable structural stability. The phosphoric acid (PA)‐doped (SPEEK/PU)₂₀₀ membrane showed a higher proton conductivity relative to PA doped SPEEK/PU membrane by solution casting method (SPEEK/PU)₂₀₀/40%PA membrane possessed a proton conductivity value of 2.90 × 10^?2 S/cm at 150 °C under anhydrous conditions. The LBL self‐assembly structure provided a possibility to reduce the negative effect from polymer skeleton blocking charge carrier species even immobilizing protons. Moreover, the (SPEEK/PU)₂₀₀ membrane presented the particularly noteworthy mechanical property even with PA doping. The tensile stress values at break were 72.8 and 24.1 MPa, respectively, for (SPEEK/PU)₂₀₀ and (SPEEK/PU)₂₀₀/40%PA membrane at room temperature, which were obviously higher than the reported values of 15.9 and 2.81 MPa for SPEEK/PU and SPEEK/PU/60%PA membrane. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Phosphoric acid doped high temperature proton exchange membranes based on sulfonated polyetheretherketone incorporated with ionic liquids

A composite membrane was fabricated using a novel approach based on the ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, sulfonated polyetheretherketone (SPEEK), and phosphoric acid. This proton conducting composite membrane shows promise for operation in high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells at working temperatures up to 160 °C without humidification. Proton conductivity at a level of 2.0 × 10^? 2 S/cm was achieved at 160 °C by the composite membrane with a molar ratio of 1:0.6:9 for SPEEK, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (BMIM) cation and phosphoric acid, respectively. The sulfonation degree was 0.643 per polymer repeat unit with over 90% of the sulfate fixed anions forming a salt complex with BMIM cations. The tensile stress at break of the composite membrane was 15.5 MPa at room temperature, and it decreased from 4.1 to 1.9 MPa when the temperature increased from 110 to 160 °C, respectively.

X-ray diffraction proves that the high concentration of KOH in the electrolyte is in an amorphous state.

The temperature dependence of the conductivity is found to be in agreement with the Arrhenius equation. The potential stability window at the metal/electrolyte interface was of 1.4 V for the nickel electrode determined by cyclic voltammetry.
