Polymer membranes, having improved conductivity with enhanced thermal and chemical stability, are desirable for proton exchange membranes fuel cell application. Hence, poly(benzophenone)s membranes (SI-PBP) containing super gas-phase acidic sulfonyl imide groups have been prepared from 2,5-dichlorobenzophenone (DCBP) monomer by C-C coupling polymerization using Ni (0) catalyst. The entirely aromatic C-C coupled polymer backbones of the SI-PBP membranes provide exceptional dimensional stability with rational ion exchange capacity (IEC) from 1.85 to 2.30 mS/cm. The as-synthesized SI-PBP membranes provide enhanced proton conductivity (107.07 mS/cm) compared to Nafion 211 (104.5 mS/cm). The notable thermal and chemical stability of the SI-PBP membranes have been assessed by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fenton's test, respectively. The well distinct surface morphology of the SI-PBP membranes has been confirmed by the atomic force microscopy (AFM). These results of SI-PBP membranes comply with all the requirements for fuel cell applications.
具有改善的导电性以及增强的热稳定性和化学稳定性的聚合物膜,对于质子交换膜燃料电池应用而言是理想的。因此,含有超气相酸性磺酰亚胺基团的聚(二苯甲酮)膜(SI-PBP)已通过使用Ni(0)催化剂由2,5-二氯二苯甲酮(DCBP)单体通过C-C偶联聚合制备而成。SI-PBP膜完全芳香族的C-C偶联聚合物主链提供了出色的尺寸稳定性,其合理的离子交换容量(IEC)为1.85至2.30 mS/cm。与Nafion 211(104.5 mS/cm)相比,合成后的SI-PBP膜具有更高的质子传导率(107.07 mS/cm)。SI-PBP膜显著的热稳定性和化学稳定性已分别通过热重分析(TGA)和芬顿试验进行了评估。SI-PBP膜清晰独特的表面形态已通过原子力显微镜(AFM)得到证实。SI-PBP膜的这些结果符合燃料电池应用的所有要求。
