Problems solved by technology

However, there are relatively few studies on the application of electrolytes in PEMFC, because this type of ionic liquid generally has a higher melting point, so it is difficult to use it as an electrolyte for PEMFC.

Embodiment 1

[0015] Embodiment one: N, N, N trimethyl-N-butyl bisulfate ([N1114]HSO 4 )synthesis

[0016] (1) Add 0.1 mol trimethylamine aqueous solution to a single-necked flask, then add 0.1 mol dibutyl sulfate, heat and stir in a 50°C water bath for about 12 hours after the addition, to obtain a colorless transparent ionic liquid aqueous solution.

[0017] (2) Dissolve the above liquid and 0.15mol KOH in ethanol respectively, then mix the two solutions, remove the resulting white precipitate, and collect the filtrate to obtain a colorless liquid.

[0018] (3) Add 0.15 moles of H to the solution 2 SO 4 , stirred evenly to obtain a colorless transparent liquid. The liquid was evaporated in a rotary evaporator to remove most of the water, ethanol and acetic acid produced to obtain a light yellow viscous liquid, which was dried in vacuum to obtain a viscous light yellow liquid, which was the product.

Abstract

A synthetic method of non-imidazolium-based ionic liquid for preparing proton exchange membrane fuel cell electrolyte is disclosed. The synthetic method comprises the steps of reacting sulfuric acid dialkyl ester with trimethyl amine; reacting the reaction product with a KOH or NaOH ethanol solution, and filtering out the generated precipitation to obtain a clear colorless solution; adding acid with a proton conducting function to the solution, and neutralizing the quaternary amine base to obtain the ionic liquid, the cation of which is a tetra-alkylammonium ion. According to the synthetic method of the non-imidazolium-based ionic liquid for preparing the proton exchange membrane fuel cell electrolyte, the unbeneficial influence of the imidazolium-based ionic liquid on a proton exchange membrane fuel cell catalyst is avoided, which can be proofed by an electrochemical method, such as a cyclic voltammetry method. The ionic liquid is supported to a PVDF membrane to perform a single-cell experiment, and the experimental results show that, when the ionic liquid is taken as the ionic liquid of an electrolyte, the performance is remarkably improved; compared with the imidazolium-based ionic liquid, the non-imidazolium-based ionic liquid has the advantage that the top power density can be improved by about 60 times.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the synthesis of ionic liquid and its application as a proton conducting medium. 2. Background technology [0002] Ionic liquids are a class of organic salts with a melting point below 100°C (see: Fernicola, A.; Scrosati, B.; Ohno, H., Potentialities of ionic liquids as new electrolyte media in advanced electrochemical devices. Ionics 2006, 12(2 ), 95-102.). Such salts are generally composed of bulky, low-symmetry cations and relatively small, well-symmetry anions. This type of salt has the characteristics of high electrical conductivity, low vapor pressure, strong solubility, and non-flammability, and is considered to be a green chemical reaction medium that can replace traditional volatile solvents. With the gradual and in-depth exploration of the understanding of ionic liquids, their application research has far exceeded the original green chemistry category, and there are huge application prospects in the fields of sup...
