Problems solved by technology

However, the imidazole group in the polybenzimidazole structure is basic and neutralizes with the sulfonic acid group to form imidazolium sulfonate, which greatly reduces the proton conductivity of the membrane.
In order to obtain a higher proton conductivity, polybenzimidazole must be highly sulfonated, but too high a degree of sulfonation makes the polybenzimidazole membrane highly swellable or even dissolved in water
Covalent crosslinking is an effective method to inhibit membrane swelling. The literature (Polymer2007, 48, 5556-5564) reported that sulfonated polybenzimidazole was first doped with phosphoric acid, and then dried in vacuum at 180°C for 20 hours to prepare sulfonated polybenzimidazole. The method of polybenzimidazole cross-linked film, this method requires high temperature, vacuum, and long-term treatment of the film, and the cross-linking density is difficult to accurately control, and it is difficult to popularize and apply in industry

Abstract

The invention discloses a sulfonated polybenzimidazole copolymer comprising pendant amino and a sulfonated polybenzimidazole crosslinked membrane obtained by crosslinking the copolymer as well as a preparation method therefor and application thereof. The prepared sulfonated polybenzimidazole crosslinked membrane has good mechanical property, very high ion exchange capacity, excellent chemical stability and extremely vanadium ion transmittance. An all vanadium liquid flow battery which takes the sulfonated polybenzimidazole crosslinked membrane prepared by the preparation method as a diaphragm has very high coulombic efficiency and energy efficiency, very low self discharge rate and good charge-discharge circulating performance. The comprehensive performance is remarkably superior to that of an all vanadium liquid flow battery which takes Nafion117 as the diaphragm.
