Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer materials, and in particular to a PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy, a large number of refractory polymer ion exchange membrane materials have emerged, but they pose significant environmental risks. Consequently, research and development of biodegradable biomass-based ion exchange membranes has spurred significant interest. For example, a new technology for preparing membranes for photodegradable microbial fuel cells has been developed using surface-functionalized electrogenic bacteria. However, the intrinsic conductivity of these biomass-based membrane materials is very low, severely restricting transmembrane electron transfer within the biomembrane and significantly increasing the charge transfer impedance at the biomass-based bacteria-electrode interface. Recently, researchers have successfully fabricated a photoresponsive bioanode by alternately depositing conductive gold (Au) nanoparticles and semiconductor cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles on the surface of Escherichia coli. This Au / CdS / Au sandwich structure generates a significant photocurrent response while maintaining a baseline biocurrent density. The outer layer forms a continuous conductive network, establishing a cooperative transport channel for bioelectrons and photogenerated CdS electrons. This cell surface modification technique has been widely used in light-assisted microbial fuel cells.
[0003] However, the above-mentioned biomass-based fuel cell membranes currently have insufficient mechanical properties and low ion transport capabilities, which means that it is difficult to form self-supporting fuel cell membrane materials with high electrical conductivity. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems of biomass-based fuel cell membranes being difficult to self-support and having low conductivity in the prior art, and to provide a PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane and its preparation method and application. The PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane has good hydrophilicity, chemical stability and excellent mechanical properties, and has potential application value in the field of high-performance fuel cell membrane preparation.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane, wherein the PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane comprises a bacterial cellulose membrane and a multilayer PDDA / PSS composite membrane supported on the bacterial cellulose membrane;
[0006] The PDDA / PSS composite membrane comprises a polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride membrane and a poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) membrane supported on the polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride membrane.
[0007] The PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane of the present invention has a polymer film structure of a dense cortex and a porous fiber mesh layer. A multilayer PDDA / PSS composite membrane is formed on a bacterial cellulose membrane (BC) by layer-by-layer self-assembly, so that the PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane not only has high conductivity but also has good mechanical properties. Preferably, the tensile strength of the PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane is 80 to 160 MPa and the conductivity is 20 to 100 mS / cm.
[0008] Preferably, the number of layers of the PDDA / PSS composite membrane is 2 to 16; further preferably, the number of layers of the PDDA / PSS composite membrane is 8 to 10.

[0010] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane, comprising the following steps:
[0011] The bacterial cellulose membrane is cleaned, then placed in an alkaline solution for purification, and then washed to obtain a treated bacterial cellulose membrane;
[0012] The treated bacterial cellulose membrane is subjected to multiple PDDA / PSS composite membrane assembly treatments to obtain a composite exchange membrane; the PDDA / PSS composite membrane assembly treatment comprises: placing the treated bacterial cellulose membrane in a polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride solution for polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride self-assembly, washing the membrane, placing the membrane in a poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) solution for poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) self-assembly, and then washing the membrane;
[0013] The composite exchange membrane is freeze-dried to obtain a PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane.
[0014] Among them, before assembling the PDDA / PSS composite membrane on the bacterial cellulose membrane, the bacterial cellulose membrane needs to be cleaned in advance to remove surface impurities and other pollutants, and then placed in an alkaline solution for purification to fully activate the hydroxyl groups in the bacterial cellulose membrane, which is helpful for subsequent assembly operations. After the purification operation is completed, the surface is repeatedly rinsed with deionized water until the rinse liquid is neutral, which is used to remove excess alkaline solution to obtain the treated bacterial cellulose membrane.
[0015] Furthermore, the specific operation of cleaning the bacterial cellulose membrane includes: placing the bacterial cellulose membrane in water (the amount of water used is sufficient to ensure that the bacterial cellulose membrane is completely immersed), and then stirring at 20-40° C. for 1-48 hours, wherein the stirring speed is 50-900 rpm.
[0016] Preferably, the concentration of the alkaline solution is 0.05 to 1 mol / L, further 0.08 to 0.9 mol / L; in a specific embodiment, the concentration of the alkaline solution is 0.1 mol / L.
[0017] Specifically, the amount of the alkaline solution used is sufficient to ensure that the bacterial cellulose membrane is completely immersed.
[0018] Wherein, the alkaline agent in the alkaline solution is selected from one or more of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and ammonia water; further, the alkaline agent in the alkaline solution is sodium hydroxide and / or potassium hydroxide, and further, the alkaline agent in the alkaline solution is sodium hydroxide.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the purification operation includes: stirring at 20-100°C for 1-48 hours, wherein the stirring speed is 50-900 rpm; further preferably, the purification operation includes: stirring at 20-50°C for 16-30 hours, wherein the stirring speed is 500-700 rpm; further, the purification operation includes: stirring at 30-40°C for 20-24 hours, wherein the stirring speed is 550-650 rpm.
[0020] In the present invention, in order to ensure that a PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane with a target number of layers can be obtained and achieve better performance, the treated bacterial cellulose membrane is preferably subjected to 2 to 16 times of assembly of a PDDA / PSS composite membrane treatment; further, the treated bacterial cellulose membrane is subjected to 8 to 10 times of assembly of a PDDA / PSS composite membrane treatment; and as the number of assembly layers increases, the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of the membrane are improved.
[0021] In the present invention, polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) are preferably used for self-assembly treatment. Polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride is a cationic compound, and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) is an anionic compound. Both are strong polyelectrolytes and can be completely ionized in aqueous solutions with a pH value of 0 to 14. They have a wide range of applications. Electrostatic attraction is used to spontaneously combine polycations and polyanionic compounds on a substrate. Layer-by-layer self-assembly technology is used to form a PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane with a complete structure, stable performance and strong ion transport capacity. In addition, more hydrophilic positive and negative ions can be introduced, which is beneficial to improving the anion transport capacity of the PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane. Multilayer self-assembly introduces more polyelectrolytes, which is beneficial to increasing the water content of the PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane and improving the ion transport capacity, thereby significantly improving the mechanical properties and conductivity of the PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane.
[0022] In the present invention, the concentration of the polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride solution is 0.01 to 3 mg / mL, and more preferably 0.05 to 2 mg / mL.
[0023] Specifically, the amount of the polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride solution used is sufficient to completely immerse the membrane.
[0024] The self-assembly operation of the polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride comprises: stirring at 20 to 40° C. for 1 to 48 hours, wherein the stirring speed is 50 to 900 rpm; further preferably, the self-assembly operation of the polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride comprises: stirring at 25 to 40° C. for 10 to 30 hours, wherein the stirring speed is 500 to 700 rpm.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the concentration of the poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) solution is 0.01 to 3 mg / mL; preferably 0.05 to 2 mg / mL.
[0027] In a specific embodiment, the amount of poly (sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) solution used is sufficient to completely immerse the membrane.

[0029] In the specific operations of the self-assembly of polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate), a certain self-assembly time is required to allow sufficient electrostatic adsorption of the polycation and the polyanion, and therefore the self-assembly time needs to be controlled within the corresponding range.
[0030] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, after the self-assembly of poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) is completed, it is washed repeatedly with deionized water for 3 to 5 times, preferably 4 to 5 times, to remove residual reagents.
[0031] In the present invention, the freeze-drying conditions include: a time of 4 to 72 hours and a temperature of -10 to -50°C.
[0032] In a specific embodiment, the freeze-drying time is 48 hours.
[0033] The present invention first activates the bacterial cellulose membrane under alkaline conditions to obtain abundant hydroxyl groups (-OH), which facilitates sufficient electrostatic adsorption with the strong polyelectrolyte polycationic compound polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride. Then, it is placed in a certain concentration of a strong polyelectrolyte polycationic compound polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride solution to fully complex and form a positive ion layer. Subsequently, it is placed in a certain concentration of a strong polyelectrolyte polyanionic compound poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) solution, and electrostatic attraction is used to spontaneously combine the polycationic and polyanionic compounds on the substrate, thereby forming a PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane with a complete structure, stable performance and strong ion transmission capacity. This PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane has good chemical stability and excellent mechanical properties, and has potential application value in the field of high-performance fuel cell membrane preparation.
[0034] A third aspect of the present invention provides an application of the above-mentioned PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane in a fuel cell membrane.
[0035] The PDDA / PSS / BC exchange membrane described in the present invention has a main structure of bacterial cellulose membrane, which has the characteristics of easy biodegradability, excellent hydrophilicity, and rich hydroxyl functional groups; after purification and electrostatic adsorption, it has rich PDDA, PSS and strong ion transmission performance, which makes it easy to prepare a membrane with easy biodegradability, excellent mechanical properties and high hydrophilicity.
