[0055] The method for preparing the functional polymer-based composite electrolyte membrane in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:
[0056] (1) Prepare PTFE porous membrane and perfluorosulfonyl fluoride resin;
[0057] (2) Preparation of methyl lithium containing double electron withdrawing groups; the methyl lithium containing double electron withdrawing groups used in this example is lithium malononitrile, which is mainly prepared by the following steps: 1.69 g of propylene Dinitrile was dissolved in a mixed solvent of 10g anisole, 10g toluene, 10g N-methylpyrrolidone, and then the mixed raw materials were dropped into a 250ml single-neck flask containing 0.71g lithium hydride, and the reaction was refluxed and stirred at 30°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. 6 After the reaction is complete, filter to remove unreacted raw material lithium hydride and precipitation by-products to obtain an intermediate product containing lithium malononitrile mixed solution (light red, clear and transparent solution); according to the requirements of stoichiometric ratio, lithium hydride and malonate Nitriles should be reacted in a 2:1 equivalent, but because lithium hydride is a relatively active reactant, side reactions are prone to occur. Therefore, in addition to purifying the reaction system, the reaction system should also be controlled in excess with an excess ratio of 50%. In order to facilitate the complete substitution of malononitrile, and the subsequent reaction to obtain a higher polymer yield;

The film thickness is 5μm. After initial drying, add a non-solvent (ethanol/water 1/2 mixed Solution) soak, replace dimethyl sulfoxide to form a second film, vacuum dry at 120°C for 0.5h, and cool down to obtain a composite film coated with a functional electrolyte coating on the positive electrode side;
