Embodiment 1

[0058] In Example 1, an 8 cm square film (film thickness: 50 μm) made of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE) was used as the substrate (first polymer film). Both surfaces of the ETFE thin film were irradiated with electron beams at room temperature under vacuum. Each surface was irradiated with electron beams under conditions of 30 kGy per surface (60 kGy in total) and an accelerating voltage of 60 kV. The ETFE film after electron beam irradiation was cooled to the temperature of dry ice using dry ice, and stored until the next step.

[0059] Next, 28 g of 4-(chloromethyl)styrene and 12 g of xylene were mixed as monomers to prepare a monomer solution. Next, oxygen in the monomer solution was removed by bubbling the monomer solution with nitrogen gas. Then, graft polymerization was carried out by immersing the substrate irradiated with electron beams in the monomer solution at 70° C. for 2 hours. Next, the graft-polymerized film was taken out from the reaction solu...

Embodiment 2

[0063]In Example 2, an 8 cm square film (film thickness: 50 μm) made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was used as the substrate (first polymer film). Both surfaces of the HDPE film were irradiated with electron beams at room temperature under vacuum. Each surface was irradiated with electron beams under conditions of 30 kGy per surface (60 kGy in total) and an accelerating voltage of 60 kV. The HDPE film irradiated with electron beams was cooled to the temperature of dry ice using dry ice, and stored until the next step.

[0064] Next, 40 g of 4-(chloromethyl)styrene was added to the reaction container, and this was replaced with nitrogen to remove oxygen in the system. Graft polymerization was carried out by immersing the above-mentioned substrate irradiated with electron beams in this 4-(chloromethyl)styrene at 50° C. for 15 hours. Next, the graft-polymerized film was taken out from the reaction solution, washed by immersion in toluene for 1 hour or longer, and then was...

Embodiment 3

[0068] In Example 3, an 8 cm square film (thickness 30 μm) obtained by stretching an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) film 5 times each in the MD and TD directions was used as the substrate (the first polymer film). Both surfaces of this UHMWPE film were irradiated with electron beams at room temperature and under vacuum. Each surface was irradiated with electron beams under conditions of 90 kGy per surface (180 kGy in total) and an acceleration voltage of 60 kV. The UHMWPE film irradiated with electron beams was cooled to the temperature of dry ice using dry ice, and stored until the next step.

[0069] Next, 40 g of 4-(chloromethyl)styrene was added to the reaction container, and this was replaced with nitrogen to remove oxygen in the system. Graft polymerization was carried out by immersing the above-mentioned substrate irradiated with electron beams in this 4-(chloromethyl)styrene at 50° C. for 15 hours. Next, the graft-polymerized film was taken out from...

Abstract

A method for producing an anion exchange membrane of the present invention comprises: (i) a step of irradiating a first polymer film with radiation; and (ii) a step of forming a second polymer film that contains a graft chain by graft polymerizing a monomer, which contains a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond and a moiety into which a functional group having anion conducting ability can be introduced, to the first polymer film that has been irradiated with radiation. The method for producing an anion exchange membrane of the present invention also comprises, after the above-described steps: (a) a step of introducing a crosslinking structure into the graft chain by a treatment that includes irradiation of the second polymer film with radiation; and (b) a step of introducing a functional group having anion conducting ability into the above-described moiety.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an anion exchange membrane, a method for producing the same, and a fuel cell using the anion exchange membrane, and more particularly, to a crosslinked anion exchange membrane for use in an anion exchange fuel cell, and a method for producing the same. Background technique [0002] A solid polymer fuel cell is a fuel cell that uses an ion exchange membrane as a solid electrolyte, can operate at relatively low temperatures, can obtain a high output power density, and produces only water as an exhaust in principle. Therefore, as social demands on energy issues and global environmental issues have increased in recent years, great expectations have been placed on solid polymer fuel cells. [0003] As an ion exchange membrane for a solid polymer fuel cell, a cation exchange membrane is generally used. However, the acidity of the cation exchange membrane is strong, so metals that can be used as catalysts are limited to plati...
