Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new materials technology, and in particular relates to a full-carbon chain polyaryl polymer, an ion exchange membrane, and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] To address the overuse of fossil fuels and achieve a smooth output of electricity generated from renewable energy sources, the development of large-capacity energy storage and new energy technologies is imperative.
[0003] Ion exchange membranes are important components of some important electrochemical devices such as flow batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis devices, and concentration cells. They play a crucial role in allowing ion conduction to form a current loop while simultaneously preventing the permeation of active materials on both sides. The performance of ion exchange membranes also profoundly affects the output power, coulombic efficiency, energy efficiency, and capacity retention of these devices, making them of great research significance.
[0004] An ideal ion exchange membrane should possess high electrical conductivity, low sheet resistance, suitable ion exchange capacity, high selectivity, appropriate swelling and water absorption, high chemical stability, and good mechanical and thermal stability. Furthermore, the cost of ion exchange membranes can reach 35%-50% of the overall battery cost, significantly impacting large-scale commercial applications. Summary of the Invention

[0083] Electrochemical devices: As one of the core components of flow batteries, ion exchange membranes play a crucial role in aqueous flow batteries by selectively allowing balance ions to pass through, forming a complete current loop, and preventing the penetration of active materials. Their cost accounts for more than 35% of the total battery cost. However, currently available commercial ion exchange membranes (Nafion series) suffer from problems such as severe active material permeation and low ionic conductivity, making it impossible to guarantee the long-term, efficient operation of these devices.
[0084] This invention provides a full-carbon-chain polyaryl polymer, an ion exchange membrane, and its applications. This invention is the first to prepare a sulfonated polymer via coupling polymerization, which has a high molecular weight, maintains good mechanical properties under high ionization levels, exhibits extremely low swelling in electrolytes, and is not prone to aging. The rigid backbone of the main chain combines with sulfonate ions to form a distinct microphase separation structure within the membrane. Furthermore, the ion exchange membrane prepared by this invention is used in batteries, and conductivity and impedance tests demonstrate its excellent ion transport capabilities. In battery cycling results, the flow battery prepared with the ion exchange membrane of this invention showed no significant capacity decay after 500 cycles, achieving a coulombic efficiency of 100%. This indicates that this type of ion exchange membrane is suitable for aqueous flow batteries, exhibiting high conductivity, excellent selectivity, and high energy efficiency and capacity utilization, significantly outperforming currently commercially available membranes such as the Nafion series and E620(K). Simultaneously, due to its high conductivity, low swelling, and low active material permeability, it has strong application potential in flow batteries, fuel cells, water electrolysis, concentration cells, and other fields.
