The invention discloses an integrated polybenzimidazole gradient film as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: applying a first solution containing polybenzimidazole, a polar
solvent and a small-molecule sacrificial template to the surface of a substrate, removing the polar
solvent, forming a film to obtain a compact small-molecule solvated
polymer supporting layer, applying a second solution containing polybenzimidazole and the polar
solvent to the surface of the compact small-molecule solvated
polymer supporting layer, removing the polar solvent to form a screening layer, and
drying the screening layer to obtain the polybenzimidazole / small-molecule sacrificial template
composite film. The micromolecule solvated
polymer supporting layer and the screening layer are mutually fused to form an integrated structure, an integrated polybenzimidazole membrane is obtained, in-situ
etching treatment is conducted, and the integrated polybenzimidazole gradient membrane is obtained. The high-selectivity separation
thin layer is constructed on the surface of the polymer supporting layer, the size of a hydrophilic narrow
ion channel of the separation
thin layer can ensure
ion screening, the trade-off effect of
conductivity and selectivity is cooperatively broken through, and the membrane has high
ion conductivity, high mechanical performance, high
ion selectivity and high stability.
