Materials based on carbon-filled porous layers of PVC cyclam derivatives cross-linked with the surfaces of asbestos fabric fibers

The synthesis of bilayer materials with porous upper layers composed of PVC hydroxyethylcyclam derivatives filled with carbon and a layer consisting of hydroxyethylcyclam, cross-linked via Si–O–C groups with the silica chains of a developed surface of asbestos fabric, is described. The aza-crown groups in these materials are bound with aqua complexes of H₂SO₄ or NaOH. The structure of the materials is examined, their adsorption characteristics are determined, and the rate of motion of H⁺ or OH^– ions in electrochemical bridges is measured, while the formation of H₂ and O₂ in their cathodic and anodic polarization is determined as a function of voltage. It is shown that the upper layer of these materials is adsorption-active and electronand H⁺- or OH^–- conductive, while the bottom layer is only H⁺- or OH^–- conductive; through it, the upper layer is supplied with the H⁺ or OH^– ions needed for the regeneration of the aqua complexes broken down to H₂ and O₂ on carbon particles.
