The invention discloses synthesis of a sulfonated benzoxazine material (SBA) suitable for an all-
vanadium redox flow battery and thermal crosslinking application of the SBA and sulfonated polyether-
ether-
ketone (SPEEK). According to the sulfonated benzoxazine material, a hydrophilic group
sulfonic acid group is connected to a
benzene ring and an N and O six-membered oxazine ring, so that the
proton conductivity is enhanced while the characteristics of low curing
shrinkage rate, high modulus, high strength, good
heat resistance, low water
absorption rate and the like of the benzoxazine material are retained. The covalent cross-linked membrane with a net-shaped structure is prepared by mixing the covalent cross-linked membrane with SPEEK with high
proton conductivity and then carrying out thermal crosslinking by adopting
thermal curing, so that the covalent cross-linked membrane with the net-shaped structure is prepared. On one hand, hydrophilic
sulfonic acid groups carried by sulfonated polyetheretherketone and sulfonated benzoxazine form a hydrophilic structural domain, so that the
proton conductivity is enhanced; on the other hand, a net structure formed by thermal crosslinking has excellent
ion selectivity, the
vanadium resistance is enhanced, the
mechanical property and the dimensional stability are improved, and the free volume of a sulfonated
polyether ether ketone matrix is limited by a crosslinking structure, so that the water
absorption rate of the membrane is also greatly reduced.
