AI Technical Summary
When preparing large-area ionic two-dimensional polymer nanosheet films, there are problems such as crack generation caused by the rigid structure of the nanosheets and reduced electrostatic repulsion. In addition, existing methods limit the size of the film, resulting in instability of the film in an aqueous environment.
An intercalation strategy was adopted, using ionic 2DP nanosheets as the main membrane material and adding ionic polyelectrolytes as intercalating agents to prepare large-area 2DP-polyelectrolyte composite membranes by casting. This enhanced the interfacial interaction between nanosheets and improved the flexibility and stability of the membrane.
A large-sized (400 cm²) 2DP-polyelectrolyte composite PEM with excellent stability and extremely high proton conductivity was prepared, which is suitable for energy conversion devices such as fuel cells.
