Microporous ion exchange membranes have a nano-pore structure inside, and have both pore size screening effect and charge repulsion effect, and are the current development hotspot of ion exchange membranes. Zuo et al. (Zuo P, et al. Near-frictionless ion transport within triazine framework membranes. Nature 2023; 617(7960):299-305) developed a self-supporting triazine framework polymer anion exchange membrane with rigid ion channels, and such membrane has high ion conductivity and excellent chemical stability, but the polymerization conditions are relatively harsh and the polymer is not easy to dissolve and film. Lin Yuqing et al.

[0058] The properties of piperidine-functionalized cyclic polyfluorene ether ketone (PFEK) anion exchange membranes at room temperature are shown in Table 1. It can be seen that all prepared membranes exhibit high tensile strength; for example, HPFEK-Pip-30 has a tensile strength of 79.2 MPa, which is higher than the 14.5 MPa of commercially available Nafion 212 under the same conditions. The obtained piperidine-functionalized PFEK anion exchange membranes all exhibit high ionic conductivity; for example, HPFEK-Pip-15 has a Br- conductivity of 18.46 mS·cm. -1 The value is greater than 2.98 mS·cm for QA-PAEK-20 in the literature (Chen D, et al. IonClustering in Quaternary Ammonium Functionalized Benzylmethyl Containing Poly(arylene ether ketone)s. Macromolecules, 2013, 46(23):9270-9278). -1 Generally, ionic conductivity increases with increasing water absorption rate. HPFEK-Pip-15 has a water absorption rate of 7.8%, lower than the 14% water absorption rate of QA-PAEK-20 in the literature. This shows that the high ionic conductivity of HPFEK-Pip-15 is achieved with a lower water absorption rate, representing a significant advancement. This is likely due to the introduction of the cyclic structure, which promotes ion transport. The prepared piperidine-functionalized cyclic polyfluorene ether ketone anion exchange membranes all exhibit low vanadium ion permeability. For example, HPFEK-Pip-20 (ion exchange capacity of 1.84 mmol / g) has a vanadium ion permeability of 0.98 × 10⁻¹⁴ m³. 2 ·s -1 , smaller than the 8×10-14 m of DQA-PFE-C6 in the literature (Chen Y, et al. Fluorinated poly(fluorenyl ether)s with linear multi-cationicside chains for vanadium redox flow batteries. Science China Materials, 2021,64(2): 349-361) 2 ·s -1 And it is much smaller than Nafion212's 5.36 × 10⁻¹² m under the same conditions. 2 ·s -1 This indicates that the membrane has excellent vanadium blocking properties.
