Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydrogen-bonded organic framework materials technology, specifically designing hydrogen-bonded organic framework materials and their preparation methods. Background Technology
[0002] As a highly efficient and clean energy conversion device, the performance of the proton exchange membrane (PEM) as its core component directly determines the efficiency and stability of the fuel cell. An ideal PEM needs to simultaneously possess high proton conductivity, excellent chemical and dimensional stability, and low fuel permeability.
[0003] Currently, while commercially available perfluorosulfonic acid membranes exhibit high proton conductivity under humid conditions, their conduction mechanism heavily relies on water molecules. This leads to a sharp drop in proton conductivity at high temperatures (>80°C) or low humidity, resulting in demanding operating conditions. Furthermore, their high methanol permeability limits their application in direct methanol fuel cells. Some existing technologies rely on inorganic materials for preparing hydrogen-bonded frameworks. The bottleneck of this technology lies in the limited plasticity of inorganic materials, which restricts the selection and construction of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Therefore, a novel method for preparing hydrogen-bonded organic framework proton conductors is needed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the inventors provide a method for preparing a hydrogen-bonded organic framework proton conductor based on a rigid-flexible component, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1. Select a first compound, dissolve the first compound in a first solvent to obtain a first solution, wherein the first compound is a linear alkyl sulfonic acid compound;
[0007] S2. Select a second compound, dissolve the second compound in a second solvent to obtain a second solution, wherein the second compound is an amino aromatic compound;
[0008] S3. Mix the first solution with the second solution, then allow it to stand and evaporate to crystallize, to obtain a hydrogen-bonded organic framework proton conductor.
[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the mixing ratio of the first solution to the second solution is between 1:0.2 and 1:5 by volume.
[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the first solvent is water, hydrochloric acid, or a water-methanol mixture.
[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the second solvent is one of methanol, ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, and dioxane.
[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the linear alkyl sulfonic acid compound is one of various isomers of methane disulfonic acid, ethane disulfonic acid, or propane disulfonic acid.
[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the amino aromatic compound includes one of various isomers of phenylenediamine, dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine, tetramethylphenylenediamine, naphthylenediamine, 4,4'-(4-aminopyridine-2,6-diyl)diphenylamine, tetraaminotetraphenylene, and 1,2,4,5-tetra(aminophenyl)benzene.
[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the amino aromatic compound is APyDAn, p-ETTA, or p-TAnB.
[0015] Another aspect of this application is the design of a hydrogen-bonded organic framework proton conductor, which is prepared by the method described above.
[0016] Another aspect of this application is the design of a proton exchange membrane comprising a hydrogen-bonded organic framework proton conductor as described above.
[0017] Another aspect of this application is the design of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, comprising the proton exchange membrane described above.
[0018] Unlike existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution enables the self-assembly of a first compound representing a flexible building block and a second compound representing a rigid building block through charge-assisted hydrogen bonding. The second compound can be selected in various ways to provide a highly symmetrical rigid framework and dense protonation sites (–NH3⁺). The flexible building block is a linear organic alkyl sulfonic acid compound, which acts as a functional hinge, providing sulfonate groups (–SO3⁻) and conformationally tunable alkyl chains.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a method for preparing a hydrogen-bonded organic framework proton conductor based on a rigid-flexible component, comprising the following steps:
