侧链磺化聚芳醚质子交换膜的研究进展

燃料电池是以氢气、甲醇等作为燃料的一种新型能量转化装置,其中质子交换膜燃料电池（Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell, PEMFC）凭借其能量功率高、启动速度快和使用寿命长等优点已经在移动电源、潜艇和电动汽车等领域得到了广泛应用。质子交换膜（Proton Exchange Membrane, PEM）对PEMFC的性能影响最大,高效的PEMFC需要PEM具有高的质子电导率、良好的热稳定性和机械性能、低燃料渗透率以及优异的物理化学稳定性等。目前市面上多数使用的均是具有优异质子电导率的Nafion系列膜,但其存在制备困难、成本昂贵、质子电导率严重依赖湿度等缺点,在一定程度上限制了其发展。为了让PEM有更多的选择,科学家一直专注于使用新材料替代Nafion膜。近年来,科学家们模拟Nafion结构,通过合成各种侧链含磺酸基团的聚芳醚结构,使得亲水基团磺酸基和疏水基团之间形成微相分离结构,从而获得了一系列具有优异综合性能的PEM。本文将重点对侧链烷基磺化型、侧链磺化嵌段型、侧链局部密集磺化型、侧链磺化交联型和侧链磺化复合型这几种常见策略的合成方法及性能进行了综述,最后展望了侧链磺化聚芳醚在PEM领域的优势及发展前景。

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Sulfonated Polyimides from 4,6-Bis（4-aminophenoxy）-naphthalene-2-sulfonic Acid

A novel sulfonated diamine monomer, 4,6-bis（4-arninophenoxy）-naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid（BAPNS）, was synthesized. A series of sulfonated polyimide copolymers was prepared from BAPNS, 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride（NTDA） and nonsulfonated diamine 4,4＇-diaminodiphenyl ether（ODA）. Flexible, transparent, and mechanically strong membranes were obtained. The novel sulfonated polyimide（SPI） membranes show higher conductivity, for example, SPI-100 shows a conductivity of 0.0698 S/cm at 80℃（SPI-X： Xrefers to molar fraction of BAPNS）. The membranes exhibit the permeability of methanol from 2.18×10^-7 cm2/s to 2.57×10^-7 cm2/s, which is much lower than that of Nafion（2.00×10 6 cm^2/s）. The copolymers were thermally stable up to 330℃. The sulfonated polyimide copolymers also show reasonable mechanical strength; for example, the maximum tensile strength at break of the sulfonated polyimide copolymer with 100%（molar fraction） BAPNS is 1.35 GPa under high moisture condi- tions. The optimum concentration of BAPNS was found to be 100%（molar fraction） from the view point of proton conductivity, methanol permeability, and membrane stability.     

Blend membranes of Nafion/sulfonated poly(aryl ether ketone) for direct methanol fuel cell

Sulfonated poly(aryl ether ketone) (sPAEK) synthesized by LG Chem. was confirmed by FT-IR. To estimate the thermal stability, glass transition temperature and decomposition temperature were investigated. They showed that sPAEK had good thermal properties. The proton conductivity, methanol permeability and water uptake of sPAEK were also measured. Nafion/sulfonated poly(aryl ether ketone) composite membranes were prepared by blending two materials. The blend ratios of sPAEK and Nafion were 2:1, 3:1, 5:1, and 7:1. The blend membranes showed phase separated morphology since they became immiscible during the solvent evaporation process. Due to the differences in specific gravity and solvent concentration profile during the solvent evaporation process, the upper region had lower Nafion volume fraction with smaller domains and the lower region had higher Nafion volume fraction with larger domains. Mechanical properties such as the stress at break, yield stress, Young's modulus, and elongation at break were measured. The sPAEK had better mechanical properties than Nafion. The mechanical properties increased with increasing sPAEK content. Proton conductivity and methanol permeability of the blend membranes were lower than those of Nafion. Both decreased with decreasing Nafion content. Since the methanol permeability of sPAEK was lower than that of Nafion, sPAEK acted as the methanol barrier. Water uptake of sPAEK was higher than that of Nafion.     

New proton conducting hybrid membranes for HT-PEMFC systems based on polysiloxanes and SO3H-functionalized mesoporous Si-MCM-41 particles

For increased efficiency of high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFC), new types of membranes have to be developed. This approach has been realized by preparing hybrid membranes containing SO₃H-functionalized mesoporous Si-MCM-41 as hydrophilic inorganic modifier in a polysiloxane matrix exhibiting sulfonic acid groups and basic heterocyclic groups like benzimidazole. The proton conductivity of sulfonated particles was modelled on the atomic scale in order to understand the influence of the density of sulfonic acid groups and of the presence of water molecules. The different hybrid membranes are characterized concerning their thermal stability, water uptake, and proton conductivity. Whereas the proton conductivity of well-established, but expensive and at >120 °C not long-time stable Nafion membranes continuously decreases with increasing temperature, the polysiloxane membranes, which suffer from a low-proton conductivity at around 100 °C, recover at about 120 °C due to intrinsic proton transport. At 180 °C the pure polysiloxane shows a proton conductivity which is only one order of magnitude lower than that of Nafion. Moreover, if the polysiloxane membrane contains additionally 10 wt.% of an SO₃H-modified Si-MCM-41, the proton conductivity of such hybrid membrane at temperatures >180 °C and low relative humidity <10% is higher than that of Nafion membranes by a factor of 10.     

Synthesis and properties of water stable poly[bis(benzimidazobenzisoquinolinone)] ionomers for proton exchange membranes fuel cells

A novel sulfonated tetraamine, di(triethylammonium)-4,4′-bis(3,4-diaminophenoxy)biphenyl-3,3′-disulfonate (BAPBDS), was successfully synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl with 5-chloro-2-nitroaniline, followed by sulfonation and reduction. A high-temperature polycondensation of sulfonated tetraamine, non-sulfonated tetraamine (4,4′-bis(3,4-aminophenoxy)biphenyl) and 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (a) or 4,4′-binaphthyl-1,1′,8,8′-tetracarboxylic dianydride (b) gave the poly[bis(benzimidazobenzisoquinolinones)] ionomers SPBIBI-a(x) or SPBIBI-b(x), where x refers to the molar percentage of the sulfonated tetraamine monomer. Flexible and tough membranes of high mechanical strength were obtained by solution casting and the electrolyte properties of the polymers were intensively investigated. The ionomer membranes displayed excellent dimensional and hydrolytic stabilities. Moreover, these novel membranes showed proton conductivities comparable to that of Nafion 117, especially at high temperature. In addition, the proton conductivities of the SPBIBI-a ionomer membranes were found to be higher than those of the SPBIBI-b ones due to the weakened acid–base interactions between the pyridinone ring and the sulfonic acid groups. The highest proton conductivity (0.174 S/cm) was obtained for the SPBIBI-a(100) membrane at 100 °C, with an IEC of 2.65 mequiv./g. A combination of excellent dimensional and hydrolytic stabilities indicated that the SPBIBI ionomers were good candidate materials for proton exchange membrane in fuel cell applications.     

Synthesis of sulfonated aromatic poly(ether amide)s and their application to proton exchange membrane fuel cells

A series of wholly aromatic sulfonated poly(ether amide)s (SPEAs) containing a sulfonic acid group on the dicarbonyl aromatic ring were prepared via a polycondensation reaction of sulfonated terephthalic acid (STA), terephthalic acid (TA), and aromatic diamine monomers. The degree of sulfonation was readily controlled by adjusting the monomer feed ratio of STA and TA in the polymerization process, and randomly sulfonated polymers with an ion exchange capacity (IEC) of 1.0–1.8 mequiv/g were prepared using this protocol. The chemical structures of randomly sulfonated polymers were characterized using NMR and FT‐IR spectroscopies. Gel permeation chromatography analysis of SPEAs indicated the formation of high‐molecular‐weight sulfonated polymer. Tough and flexible SPEA membranes were obtained from solution of N,N‐dimethylacetamide, and thermogravimetric analysis of these membranes showed a high degree of thermal stability. Compared with previously reported sulfonated aromatic polyamides, these new SPEAs showed a significantly lower water uptake of 10–30%. In proton conductivity measurements, ODA‐SPEA‐70 (IEC = 1.80 mequiv/g), which was obtained from polycondensation of 4,4′‐oxydianiline and 70 mol % STA, showed a comparable proton conductivity (105 mS/cm) to that of Nafion 117 at 80 °C. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
