Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, and specifically relates to a main-chain polyarylpiperidine polymer and a preparation method and application thereof, in particular to application in the preparation of anion exchange membranes. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen technologies, including fuel cells and hydrogen generation systems (water electrolysis), have been proposed as potential solutions for achieving carbon neutrality within the next few decades. Anion exchange membrane fuel cells and water electrolyzers operating under alkaline conditions can utilize non-precious metal catalysts and hydrocarbon-based polyelectrolytes, significantly reducing the cost of energy devices. While significant progress has been made in the development of anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers, improvements are still needed, particularly in terms of in-situ durability and power density.

[0003] Over the past few decades, significant efforts have been made to develop high-performance poly(arylpiperidine) anion exchange membranes by adjusting the polymer backbone, cationic groups, and modification strategies. Despite significant progress in this field, most anion exchange membranes still face challenges in physical stability, electrical conductivity, and dimensional stability.

[0004] The trade-off between conductivity and dimensional stability is a major obstacle hindering the sustainable operation of anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers. Various strategies, including cross-linking, grafting, and block copolymer construction, have been reported to address this thorny issue. However, these approaches are limited by the choice of polymer backbone or complex synthesis processes. Highly rigid linear structures, on the other hand, have been proposed as a simple solution to this dilemma.

[0005] An existing patent discloses a branched block polyarylpiperidine polymer, an anion exchange membrane, and its preparation and application. Leveraging the significant convenience of introducing branched structural units into linear polymers for large-scale sample synthesis, the patent develops a polymer synthesis method that combines branched structural units, block linear structural units, and linear monomers to produce anion exchange membranes. However, the synthesis process of these block linear structural units involves numerous steps, significantly increasing the risk and complexity of sample preparation. Furthermore, the ionic conductivity of the anion exchange membranes synthesized by this method is far inferior to that of the currently mainstream main-chain anion exchange membranes.

[0006] Existing main-chain polyarylpiperidine polymers have poor electrical conductivity and mechanical properties, which limit their application in anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer devices. The present invention solves the problem of internal structural entanglement of traditional linear main-chain polyarylpiperidine polymers by introducing a small number of strong bond energy linear structural units into the structure, achieving the effect of generating free volume, promoting the formation of conductive paths, and facilitating the adsorption and transport of water molecules within the membrane.

The polymer comprises strong-bond linear structural units and block linear structural units, and an anion exchange membrane can be obtained through further membrane treatment and alkali treatment. The present invention provides a simple process for preparing the anion exchange membrane, with high yield, and achieves high ionic conductivity and high alkali stability, thereby further improving the water electrolysis performance of anion exchange membrane electrolytic cells and enabling high-performance and high-stability electrolytic cell applications.

[0008] This series of backbone polymers based on a poly(fluorene / dibenzyl co-arylpiperidinium) backbone incorporates different strong-bond linear phenyl monomers, such as diphenylethylene and diphenylacetylene (highly rigid, linear structures), into the system.

[0099] Performance testing method:

[0100] (1) Water absorption and swelling

[0101] The membrane sample was soaked in 1M NaOH for 48 hours for ion exchange, then washed several times with deionized water to remove excess alkali solution to obtain an OH-type AEM sample. The membrane sample was stored in deionized water for use. The membrane sample was cut into squares (2*2cm) and soaked in deionized water for 12 hours. The membrane sample was then removed, and the water droplets on the membrane surface were wiped dry with filter paper. The mass (M1) and length (L1) of the membrane sample were immediately tested. The wet membrane sample was then placed in a vacuum drying oven and vacuum dried to constant weight. Its dry weight (M2) and length (L2) were tested. The swelling ratio (Sr) and water absorption (Wu) of the membrane can be calculated using the following formula:

[0102] Sr (%) = (L1-L2) / L2

[0103] Wu (%) = (M1-M2) / M2

[0104] (2) Conductivity at 60°C

[0105] The ionic conductivity of the membrane was measured using a four-probe alternating current (AC) impedance analyzer over a frequency range of 0.1 to 100 kHz. Rectangular samples (1 × 3 cm) of the OH- form were placed on two platinum electrodes and then assembled in a homemade conductive mold. Before measurement, the cell was charged at a constant voltage for 4 hours at 50°C to eliminate the CO2 effect. The ohmic impedance of the membrane was recorded under a fully humidified N2 environment at different temperatures (30 to 80°C in 10°C increments) in a fuel cell test station.

[0106] (3) Intrinsic viscosity

[0107] The intrinsic viscosity of the main chain polymer was measured using an Ubbelohde viscometer in a DMSO solution at 25°C. First, the target sample was dissolved in DMSO to form a 3 mg mL -1 The polymer solution was then automatically diluted in sequence to five concentrations (3.0, 2.5, 2.0, 1.5, and 1.0 mg mL -1 ), and record the outflow time five times.

[0108] (4) Tensile strength and elongation at break

[0109] AEM samples were cut into dumbbell shapes (1 x 5 cm) using a specialized film cutter. The AEM samples were then secured in the slots of a tensile testing machine. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the AEM were measured at room temperature. The tensile speed was 10 mm / min.
