Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fuel cell technology, specifically to a graft-modified polybenzimidazole proton exchange membrane and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Polybenzimidazole (PBI) polymer is an engineering plastic with excellent thermal stability, good mechanical properties, and superior proton conductivity and chemical stability at high temperatures, making it valuable for applications in fuel cells, aerospace, chemical machinery, protective clothing, and other fields.

[0003] However, for PBI to be formally applied in fuel cells, it still needs to be doped with phosphoric acid (PA). PA-doped PBI membranes (PA-PBI) exhibit excellent proton conductivity and stability under high-temperature, anhydrous conditions. Under anhydrous conditions, proton conduction in the PA-PBI system mainly follows the Grotthuss mechanism, with protons hopping and conducting within the hydrogen bond network of PA-PBI. High levels of phosphoric acid doping (ADL) can achieve even better proton conductivity, but it also introduces two major problems: (1) Decreased mechanical properties: A large number of PA molecules enter the polymer chain, which will destroy the original hydrogen bonding and weaken the intermolecular interaction force, resulting in a significant deterioration of mechanical properties; (2) PA leaching: During the operation of the fuel cell, PA molecules migrate and are lost under the influence of water molecules. The proton conductivity decreases as PA is lost, which in turn affects the overall performance of the battery.

[0004] Based on the above technical problems, this application proposes a graft-modified polybenzimidazole proton exchange membrane and its preparation method, aiming to develop a PBI membrane with both high proton conductivity and good mechanical strength to meet the needs of applications such as fuel cells.

[0032] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a grafted modified polybenzimidazole proton exchange membrane, which is the same as in Embodiment 1, but with the following differences: In Step 1: the sulfonamide compound is benzenesulfonamide; the strong base is sodium hydroxide; the halosulfonyl chloride compound is a mixture of 3-bromopropanesulfonyl chloride and 2-chloroethanesulfonyl chloride (mixing molar ratio is 1:1).

[0033] In Step 2: the polar solvent is N,N-dimethylformamide; NaH is used instead of LiH; formic acid is used instead of hydrochloric acid; sodium bicarbonate is used instead of sodium carbonate. Example 5

[0034] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a grafted modified polybenzimidazole proton exchange membrane, which is the same as in Embodiment 1, but with the following differences: In Step 1: the sulfonamide compound is isopropyl sulfonamide; the strong base is lithium hydroxide; and the halosulfonyl chloride compound is a mixture of 2-bromoethylsulfonyl chloride and 4-bromomethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (mixing molar ratio of 2:1).

[0035] In Step 2: the polar solvent is a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and N-methylpyrrolidone (mixing volume ratio of 3:1); KH is used instead of LiH; acetic acid is used instead of hydrochloric acid; and ammonia is used instead of sodium carbonate.

[0036] A series of relevant performance tests were conducted on the product prepared in Example 1 above, and the results are as follows: 1. Structural characterization of 3-chloropropanesulfonyl (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imine (CFSI): 1.1 Usage 1 The product was characterized by ¹H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6), and the test results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the methylene group (-CH) on CFSI 2- The electron-withdrawing effect of chlorine atoms and sulfone groups splits into three sets of peaks, which appear at 3.75 ppm, 3.10 ppm and 2.11 ppm, respectively.

[0037] 1.2. CFSI was further characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, and the test results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown. Sulfone group (-SO 2- The characteristic peaks of asymmetric and symmetric tensile vibrations are at 1313 cm⁻¹. -1 and 1117cm -1 It appears in the location, and 1187cm -1 and 1049cm -1 The characteristic peaks at 620 cm⁻¹ represent the stretching vibrations of asymmetric CF and SNS bonds, respectively. -1It is the characteristic peak of the bending vibration of the CF bond.

[0038] In conclusion, 1 1H NMR and FT-IR test results indicate that CFSI was successfully prepared.

[0039] 2. Structural characterization of grafted membranes: 2.1 Usage 1 The chemical structures of the OPBI film and four groups of OPBI-CFSI grafted films were characterized by ¹H NMR (400MHz, DMSO-d6). The test results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the characteristic hydrogen peaks at positions d, e, and f on the benzimidazole ring of the OPBI molecule correspond to 8.04 ppm, 7.76 ppm, and 8.19 ppm in the spectrum, respectively; the characteristic hydrogen peaks at positions h and i on the diphenyl ether ring correspond to 8.29 ppm and 7.31 ppm in the spectrum, respectively; and the peak at 13.0 ppm corresponds to the vibrational peak of the imine (-NH-) on the imidazole ring. With the introduction of the CFSI side chain, the characteristic hydrogen peak at position h on the diphenyl ether ring of OPBI, which was originally at 8.29 ppm, gradually weakens, while the characteristic peak in the 8.04-8.19 ppm region gradually strengthens. This is because the strong electron-withdrawing effect of the disulfonyl imide group on the CFSI molecule reduces the electron cloud density and chemical shift at position h on the OPBI molecule. In addition, the characteristic peak of the methylene group at position c on the CFSI molecule shifts to a lower field and appears at 4.51 ppm. By comparing the area ratio of the methylene characteristic peak at position c to the hydrogen characteristic peak on the benzene ring at position i, the actual grafting degree of the OPBI-CFSI grafted membrane was calculated to be consistent with the theoretical grafting degree, and the four groups of OPBI-CFSI grafted membranes were successfully prepared.

[0040] 2.2 The structures of the OPBI membrane and the four groups of OPBI-CFSI grafted membranes were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy. The test results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the characteristic peak of the imine stretching vibration on OPBI appears at 3187 cm⁻¹. -1 At 1601 cm⁻¹, the characteristic peak of the stretching vibration of the carbon-nitrogen double bond (C=N) on the imidazole ring is observed. -1 The characteristic peak of the stretching vibration of the phenyl ether bond is visible at 1480 cm⁻¹. -1 The appearance was evident at 1313 cm. Compared to OPBI, all grafted membranes showed improvement at 1313 cm. -1 and 1117cm -1 Absorption peaks of sulfone group asymmetric and symmetric stretching vibrations appeared at all locations, and the absorption peaks became more pronounced with increasing grafting degree; all grafted films showed absorption peaks at 1187 cm⁻¹. -1 and 1049cm -1 Asymmetrical CF and SNS tensile vibrations were observed at 620cm. -1The peak at 800 cm⁻¹ is a characteristic peak of the CF bending vibration. Furthermore, as the grafting degree of the grafted membrane increases, the -NH₄⁻ on benzimidazole is reacted away, thus the peak at 800 cm⁻¹... -1 The absorption peak at that point shows a decreasing trend. FT-IR spectroscopy further confirms that CFSI was successfully grafted onto OPBI.

[0041] 3. Proton conductivity of the grafted membrane: like Figure 6 As shown, the test results indicate that the proton conductivity of all tested membranes initially increases and then decreases with increasing test temperature. In the 100-160 °C temperature range, the phosphate ion migration rate increases with temperature, thus the proton conductivity of the tested membrane reaches its highest value at 160 °C. As the temperature continues to rise, phosphate molecules undergo polymerization to form phosphate oligomers, thereby reducing the migration rate within the membrane and consequently decreasing the proton conductivity. All grafted membranes exhibit significantly higher proton conductivity than pure OPBI membranes across all temperature ranges. This is because the bissulfonylimide side-chain group possesses a strong proton dissociation capability, resulting in more proton conduction sites within the OPBI-CFSI grafted membrane. Furthermore, the bissulfonylimide group interacts with the OPBI benzimidazole ring through hydrogen bonding, enhancing the hydrogen bond network within the phosphate-doped grafted membrane and facilitating proton migration within the membrane via hydrogen bond breaking and recombination. In summary, grafting CFSI, a disulfonamide-type proton conductor, onto OPBI polymers to form a side chain structure can significantly enhance the membrane's ability to conduct protons.

[0042] 4. Mechanical properties of the grafted membrane: like Figure 7 As shown, the mechanical properties of the phosphate-doped OPBI film and four groups of OPBI-CFSI grafted films were tested.

[0043] PA molecules have a "plasticizing effect" on polymers, fully occupying the gaps between OPBI molecular chains, which leads to a significant disruption of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, thus reducing the tensile strength of the acid-doped film. Conversely, the large number of PA molecules occupying the free space of the polymer significantly enhances the mobility and flexibility of the polymer chains, resulting in a substantial increase in the elongation at break of the acid-doped film.

[0044] In summary, the technical solution provided by this invention has low raw material cost, readily available raw materials, mature synthesis conditions, high yield, high feasibility, and high membrane conductivity, which improves the output characteristics of fuel cells and is expected to be applied to fuel cells.

[0045] Furthermore, the preparation method of the grafted modified film of the polybenzimidazole polymer of the present invention is simple. The polyether polybenzimidazole (OPBI) is commercially mature and can be stably obtained. The raw material cost of the 3-chloropropanesulfonyl (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (CFSI) to be synthesized is low, the reaction conditions are mild, and the yield is high.

[0046] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or basic characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within the present invention.
