| Abstract: | Two different molecular weight hyperbranched polymers (HBP(L)-(PA)2 and HBP(H)-(PA)2) with two phosphonic acid groups as a functional group at the periphery and a low molecular weight hyperbranched polymer (HBP(L)-(PA)2-Ac) with both two phosphonic acid groups and an acryloyl group as a cross-linker at the periphery were successfully synthesized as thermally stable proton-conducting electrolytes. A cross-linked electrolyte membrane (CL-HBP(L)-(PA)2) was prepared by thermal polymerization of the HBP(L)-(PA)2-Ac using benzoyl peroxide. Ionic conductivities of the HBP(L)-(PA)2, the HBP(H)-(PA)2, and the CL-HBP(L)-(PA)2 under dry condition and their thermal properties were investigated, and also, the effect of the phosphonic acid group number on them was discussed. Ionic conductivities of the HBP(L)-(PA)2 and the HBP(H)-(PA)2 were found to be 1.5?×?10?5 S cm?1 at 150 °C and 3.6?×?10?6 S cm?1 at 143 °C, respectively, under dry condition, and showed the Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher type temperature dependence. The hyperbranched polymers and the cross-linked electrolyte membrane were thermally stable up to 300 °C, and the cross-linked electrolyte membrane (CL-HBP-(PA)2) had suitable thermal stability as an electrolyte membrane for the high-temperature fuel cells under dry condition. Fuel cell measurement using a single membrane electrode assembly cell with the cross-linked membrane was performed. |
