Novel fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid block copolymer electrolytes were synthesized. The block copolymer electrolytes consist of poly(perfluoropropyl sulfonimide) (PC3SI) as a perfluorinated hydrophilic segment and poly(ether ether sulfone) as a hydrocarbon hydrophobic segment. The sulfonimide group of poly(perfluoropropyl sulfonimide) has superacidity, very low equivalent weight (EW = 293 g/equiv), and a proton conductivity of 1.2 × 10 S/cm under dry conditions and 25 °C, although soluble in water. The proton conductivity of the block copolymer was 1.7 × 10 S/cm at 20% relative humidity and 25 °C, which is three times as high as that of Nafion 112.
合成了新型氟碳-碳氢杂化嵌段共聚物电解质。该嵌段共聚物电解质由作为全氟亲水链段的聚(全氟丙基磺酰亚胺)(PC3SI)和作为碳氢疏水链段的聚(醚醚砜)组成。聚(全氟丙基磺酰亚胺)的磺酰亚胺基团具有超强酸性、极低的当量重量(EW = 293 g/equiv),并且在干燥条件下和25℃时质子传导率为1.2×10 S/cm,尽管可溶于水。该嵌段共聚物在20%相对湿度和25℃时的质子传导率为1.7×10 S/cm,是Nafion 112的三倍。
