Problems solved by technology

[0003] Perfluorosulfonic acid membranes (PFSA, such as the Nafion membrane produced by Dupont Company) are widely used as proton exchange membranes in traditional PEMFC. It leads to dehydration of PEM, a sharp drop in proton conductivity, and severe degradation of battery performance.
The lower operating temperature brings various disadvantages to PEMFC, such as the catalyst is easily poisoned by impurity gases such as CO, and the water and heat management of the battery is complicated. These disadvantages have become the bottleneck of its development.
[0004] At present, the widely used high-temperature proton exchange membrane is the PBI (polybenzimidazole) type proton exchange membrane, but because the membrane is used together with inorganic phosphoric acid, it has obvious disadvantages: (a) because the system relies on phosphoric acid to conduct Protons, so the stability of phosphoric acid content directly affects the stability of battery performance
However, as the adsorption amount of phosphoric acid increases, the mechanical stability and oxidation resistance of the membrane decrease, resulting in a decrease in the service life of the membrane.
Therefore, in the actual use process, only the proton conductivity of the membrane and the mechanical strength of the membrane can be considered comprehensively.

[0087] According to the molar ratio of 1:0.2, dry p-PBI (616.7mg, 2mmol) and 2,6-polypyridine (30.8mg, 0.4mmol) were weighed. Under the protection of nitrogen, the mixture of the two was dissolved in dry DMAC (N,N-dimethylacetamide, 10.144g) to form a solution with a solid content of 6%, filtered, and the insoluble matter was filtered off. After degassing, the filtrate was cast onto a 10×10cm glass plate, and then dried in a blast oven at 80°C for two hours, and then further heated to 120°C for one hour to obtain a composite high-temperature proton exchange membrane.
