Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of ion exchange membrane and its preparation, and particularly relates to a grafted flexible side chain cationic group containing sulfide flexible spacer anion exchange membrane material and its preparation method and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous optimization of energy structure, the development and large-scale utilization of environmentally friendly renewable energy is imperative, which is of great significance to solve energy shortage and improve the environment. The development of new green energy conversion devices such as water electrolysis hydrogen production is an effective method to realize the utilization of environmentally friendly renewable energy. In the technology of water electrolysis hydrogen production, anion exchange membrane water electrolysis fully combines the advantages of alkaline water electrolysis and proton membrane water electrolysis, and has the characteristics of low cost, high efficiency and sustainable production of green hydrogen under alkaline conditions, and has developed rapidly. As the core component, the stability and conductivity of the anion exchange membrane directly affect the purity of H2 and O2, the power consumption and the service life of the water electrolysis cell.

[0003] Anion exchange membrane is mainly composed of polymer backbone, cationic group and freely movable anion. At present, polyphenyl ether, polyaryl ether sulfone, polyaryl ether ketone and other polymers have been widely used as the main chain of anion exchange membrane. However, the oxygen atoms contained in the polymer main chain are easily attacked by hydroxyl ions under alkaline conditions, and the anion exchange membrane will be damaged and the ion conductivity will decrease, which hinders the transformation of anion exchange membrane water electrolysis cell from laboratory scale to commercial application. Then scholars have developed an oxygen-free main chain anion exchange membrane of polyaryl piperidine, which has a chemical structure mainly composed of aromatic rings and excellent chemical stability.

[0004] However, since the piperidine ion in the oxygen-free main chain is directly connected to the polymer main chain, the random distribution of the rigid backbone and the cation makes it difficult for the membrane material to form an effective microphase separation structure, and thus it is difficult to achieve satisfactory ion conductivity. At the same time, the rigid aromatic backbone makes the prepared anion exchange membrane have poor toughness, and sometimes cannot meet the requirements of water electrolysis tank in assembly and operation. Therefore, the poor toughness, the balance between ion conductivity and dimensional stability are still the problems to be solved for the existing oxygen-free main chain anion exchange membrane. SUMMARY

The reaction liquid was filtered with a G4 sand core funnel and poured into a prepared membrane holder, and after drying, the grafted flexible side chain cationic group containing sulfide flexible spacer anion exchange membrane PPSP-40Pip was obtained.

[0083] The basic properties of the grafted flexible side chain cationic group containing sulfide flexible spacer anion exchange membranes obtained in Examples 1-4 above are shown in Table 1.

[0084] Table 1

[0085]

[0086] In the table: Test conditions: temperature is 80°C,

[0087] IEC t Theoretical value;

[0088] IEC e Measured by titration;

[0089] σMeasured by electrochemical workstation in pure water;

[0090] WU% is the change in mass before and after the membrane absorbs water;

[0091] SR% is the change in length before and after the membrane absorbs water.

[0092] As can be seen from Table 1, the IEC value of the PPSP-xPip anion exchange membrane prepared by the present application measured by molar titration is in the range of 1.47 to 2.15 mmol / g and close to the theoretical value. The higher the grafting rate, the higher the content of long side chain piperidine ion group per unit mass, and the larger the IEC value. The water absorption and swelling rate of the membrane increase with the increase of IEC and temperature: at 80°C, the water absorption of the membrane increases from 21.5% to 100.3%, and the swelling rate increases from 8.7% to 35.3%.

[0093] Meanwhile, the grafting ratio of PPSP-40Pip in Table 1 is too high, and the water absorption and swelling ratio are too large, which induces ion dilution, resulting in the decrease of the dimensional stability and ion conductivity of the membrane. Therefore, although PPSP-40Pip has an ideal water absorption compared with other membranes, the performance of the membrane is still weak due to the plasticizing and diluting effects of water molecules.

[0094] The ion conductivity of the anion exchange membrane is one of the key factors for evaluating the performance of the membrane. The ion conductivity of the PPSP-xPip anion exchange membrane was tested by the four-electrode method at a temperature range of 20°C to 80°C. As shown in Figure 5 , the ion conductivity of the anion exchange membrane increases with the increase of the temperature. For example, when the temperature increases from 20°C to 80°C, the hydroxyl ion conductivity of PPSP-35Pip increases from 44.08 mS cm -1 to 117.05 mS cm -1 . This is because the increase of the temperature provides the energy of thermal motion for the molecules, which accelerates the molecular motion, and on the other hand, the volume expansion of the polymer membrane increases the molecular motion space. At the same time, the ion conductivity of the membrane increases with the increase of the grafting ratio of the polymer, because the introduction of the ion group increases the IEC value and the water absorption of the membrane.

[0095] When the anion exchange membrane is assembled in the water electrolysis cell, the alkali resistance stability is one of the key performance indicators for evaluating the performance of the anion exchange membrane, because the strong alkaline hydroxyl ions are generated in the electrolysis process. In this test, the PPSP-35Pip anion exchange membrane was immersed in a 2 mol L -1 NaOH solution at 80°C for 520h. The alkali resistance stability of the anion exchange membrane was evaluated by measuring the ion conductivity of the anion exchange membrane. As shown in Figure 6 , the ion conductivity decreases with the increase of the time, and the retention rate is 98.05% after 520h.

[0096] Figure 7 The battery voltage durability curve is shown, and the steady-state polarization curve was recorded at 30°C under a constant current density of 500 mA cm -2 . During the whole test process, the voltage fluctuates between 1.87V and 1.89V, and the voltage retention rate is 98.93%. The overall test can verify the feasibility of the operation of the anion exchange membrane in alkaline conditions.

[0097] Having described various embodiments of the application, it is to be understood that the above description is meant not to be exhaustive or limited by the various embodiments disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosed embodiments. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, the application can be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
