Abstract
Description
A polyvinyl alcohol polymer and its applications Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymers, and more specifically to a polyvinyl alcohol polymer and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Polystyrene (PS) is one of the most representative general-purpose and functional polymers, combining excellent thermal, electrical, and optical properties. For example, it has low thermal conductivity and good insulation; high resistivity and good insulation; high light transmittance, allowing transmission of all wavelengths of visible light; and resistance to solvents, various alkalis, salts, and most acids. Therefore, PS has a wide range of applications, including disposable tableware, packaging, daily-use decoration, and optical instrument parts. Global demand for PS is high annually; according to Statista Research Department, global PS production capacity reached 15.44 million tons in 2022.
[0003] The benzene ring in the PS structure determines the physical properties and applications of polystyrene, and also enables PS to be further functionalized. Due to the mature and diverse synthetic methods of PS, researchers have long been committed to developing PS analogs with novel structures, such as directly functionalized PS derivatives (Ejima, H. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2022, 144, 2450; Zhu, Y.; Liu, B.; Li, S.; Lu, G. et al. Chem. Mater. 2022, 34, 6505; Coughlin, JE et al. J. Polym. Sci. Part A: Polym. Chem. 2013, 51, 2416.) and heteroatom-doped PS derivatives (Klausen, R.S. et al. Macromolecules 2018, 51, 6859; Liu, S.-Y.). F. et al. Macromolecules 2019, 52, 4500., polyarylethene heterocyclic ethylene (Goseki, R.; Ishizone, T. et al. Macromolecules 2021, 54, 8173.), etc., with the expectation of developing polymer materials with new properties and functions. Some functionalized PS derivatives have become research hotspots in industry and academia, among which sulfonated and chloromethylated PS are the most representative. Sulfonated PS has been widely used in wastewater treatment, ion exchange, semiconductors, medical fields, etc. For example, high-conductivity aqueous solutions prepared from polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) can be used in organic light-emitting diodes, organic solar cells, supercapacitors, etc. Chloromethylated PS resin can be used for solid-phase peptide synthesis. Merrifield's pioneering research on this topic won the 1984 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and the new discipline of solid-phase synthesis was born.
[0004] Therefore, developing PS-type polymer materials with novel structures and unique properties is of great significance for developing new functional applications.
[0005] Unlike the benzene ring in the PS structure, azurite is a non-benzene aromatic hydrocarbon composed of cyclopentadiene and cycloheptanetriene. It exhibits a beautiful deep blue color, a large molecular dipole moment (1.08D), non-mirror frontier molecular orbitals, anti-Kasha luminescence properties, reversible proton responsiveness, and multiple sites that can be functionalized. Due to its unique chemical structure and physicochemical properties, azurite and its derivatives have applications in organic electronic devices (Gao, X. et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2018, 57, 1322; McNeill, CR; Gao, X. et al. ACS Macro Lett. 2023, 12, 487.), ion-selective electrodes (Lindfors, T. et al. Sens. Actuators B 2015, 207, 918; Gyurcsanyi, RE; Lindfors, T. et al. Analyst 2016, 141, 2990.), sensors (Zhu, L. et al. J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2018, 9, 550.), photothermal therapy (Shi, Y.; Xu, H.; Gao, X. et al. ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2022, 14, 19192; Ding D.; Gao, X. et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2024, e202400372.) have shown great application potential in multiple fields. In recent years, research on azurite-based organic conjugated polymers in proton exchange membrane hydrogen fuel cells (Wang, J.; Gao, X. et al. ACS Macro Letters 2022, 11, 680; Wang, J.; Gao, X. et al. ACS Materials Lett. 2022, 4, 392) has further attracted the attention and interest of researchers. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a polyazine-based polymer and its applications. The polyazine-based polymer provided by this invention exhibits structural diversity; the polymer backbone can be connected to different sites of azurite units, and various functional groups can be introduced at the remaining sites of the azurite units. The polyazine-based polymer provided by this invention possesses good thermal stability, a high glass transition temperature, reversible proton responsiveness, and good solution processability. The polyazine-based polymer provided by this invention can fully utilize the proton responsiveness of azurite units, and can be used in applications based on proton response, ion response, and ion conduction, such as proton exchange membranes for fuel cells, solid electrolytes for ion batteries, metal corrosion protection, bacterial protection, and acid-chromic devices. When used in proton exchange membranes, the polyazine-based polymer can be loaded into a perfluorosulfonic acid resin (Nafion), and the resulting composite proton exchange membrane has a higher proton conductivity than a single Nafion membrane. Hydrogen fuel cells prepared using the composite proton exchange membrane show significantly higher performance than those prepared using a single Nafion membrane.

[0137] The present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0138] The polyazine-based polymers provided by this invention can fully utilize the low symmetry of azurite, allowing different sites of azurite units to be connected to the polymer backbone, and introducing a variety of different functional groups at the remaining sites of azurite units. Therefore, the polyazine-based polymers have rich chemical structures.
[0139] The polyvinyl alcohol polymers provided by this invention have good thermal stability, high glass transition temperature, reversible proton responsiveness, and good solution processability.
[0140] The polyaluminum ethylene polymer provided by this invention can fully utilize the proton-responsive characteristics of azurite and its derivatives. This polyaluminum ethylene polymer can be used in applications based on proton response, ion response, and ion conduction, for example, in proton exchange membranes. When used in proton exchange membranes, the polyaluminum ethylene polymer can be loaded into a perfluorosulfonic acid resin (Nafion) to form a composite proton exchange membrane. The composite proton exchange membrane exhibits a higher proton conductivity than a single Nafion membrane. Hydrogen fuel cells prepared using the composite proton exchange membrane show significantly higher performance than those prepared using a single Nafion membrane. Specifically, the composite proton exchange membrane prepared by loading P1, P2, P4, P5, and P6 into Nafion exhibits excellent performance, with a proton conductivity of up to 251.62 mS / cm measured at 100% relative humidity and 80°C. -1 The hydrogen fuel cell can output a power of up to 367.2 mW / cm². -2 The maximum current density can reach 1219.5 mA cm⁻¹ -2 Compared to Nafion membranes alone, these figures represent improvements of 80%, 60%, and 54%, respectively.
[0141] The reagents and raw materials used in this invention are all commercially available.
[0142] In this application, the molecular weight determination method is as follows: The test was performed on a Waters 1515 gel permeation chromatograph using a Waters 2410 differential refractometer as the detector. Tetrahydrofuran was used as the eluent, with a flow rate of 1.00 mL / min. The test temperature was 35°C. The test measures the relative molecular weight of the polymer, using polystyrene as a standard.

[0222] Proton responsiveness test method: Polymers P1-P6 were prepared in concentrations of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. -5 A mol / L dichloromethane solution was prepared, and equal volumes of the solution were placed in cuvettes. Equal volumes or equivalent amounts of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl), or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFSA) were then added. The UV-Vis absorption spectra before and after the addition of acid were measured using a Hitachi U-3900 UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Figure 3 shows the UV-Vis absorption spectra of polymers P1-P6 before and after the addition of acid.
[0223] Example 4: Proton Response Reversibility Test
[0224] Proton response reversibility test method: Trifluoroacetic acid was added dropwise to a dichloromethane solution of polymers P1-P6, followed by triethylamine (TEA). Figure 4 shows the color changes of polymers P1-P6 before protonation, after protonation, and after deprotonation. Polymers P1-P6 all exhibit reversible proton response.
[0225] Example 5: Preparation of composite proton exchange membranes using polymers P1, P2, and P4-P6 supported in a Nafion matrix.
[0226] Preparation method of proton exchange membrane: A solution casting method was used. A commercially available 5% Nafion solution was placed in a vacuum drying oven at 60°C to remove the solvent. The resulting Nafion resin was redissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide to prepare a 5% solution. Polymers P1, P2, and P4-P6 were dissolved in chloroform and added to the freshly prepared Nafion solution. The resulting solution was cast onto a glass plate and dried in a vacuum drying oven at 80°C for 12 hours, then heated to 120°C and dried for 4 hours. Finally, the membrane was peeled off the glass plate and immersed in 1.0 mol / L sulfuric acid at room temperature for 12 hours, followed by rinsing with deionized water until neutral. The loading mass fraction of polymers P1, P2, and P4-P6 was 3%.
[0227] Proton conductivity was measured on a ParStat MC 1000 electrochemical workstation using AC impedance spectroscopy. Test temperature and humidity were controlled using an MTS-740 proton exchange membrane conductivity meter. Before testing, all membranes were immersed in deionized water for 24 hours, followed by equilibration at the appropriate test temperature and humidity for at least 30 minutes. Experimental results are shown in Tables 1-1 to 1-3 and Figures 5 to 7.
