This invention discloses a
sulfonic acid-based
polyethylene oxide solid proton exchange membrane, its preparation method, and its application. The
solid proton exchange membrane includes a porous support layer and a
sulfonic acid-based
polyethylene oxide proton conductor layer loaded on its surface and / or within its pores. The
proton conductor layer is formed by reacting or compounding
polyethylene oxide or a
polymer containing
polyethylene oxide segments with an acidic
reagent containing
sulfonic acid groups or capable of introducing sulfonic acid groups, and contains fixed acidic proton sites and
ether oxygen segments. The preparation method involves dissolving the
polyethylene oxide polymer in a
solvent and adding an acidic
reagent to form a precursor solution,
coating it onto the porous support layer, and obtaining the
solid proton exchange membrane by
drying, curing, or heat treatment. This membrane can constitute a dry-state electrochemical
hydrogen purification
membrane electrode assembly, achieving selective extraction or purification of
hydrogen from a
hydrogen-containing gas mixture without adding liquid acidic
electrolyte or externally humidifying the inlet gas. This invention can form a continuous
composite membrane, verifying its structural components, dry-state proton
conductivity, and hydrogen purification applications.
