Description

Preparation method of polymer composite electrolyte membrane
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of polymer materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a polymer composite electrolyte membrane.
Background
The polymer electrolyte is a polymer ion conductor containing dissociable ionic groups. Because of the characteristics of good conductivity, light weight, good elasticity, easy film forming and the like of the polymer, the polymer is a hot spot for research and development of chemical power sources in recent years. At present, polymer electrolytes are mainly used in the fields of lithium ion batteries or fuel cells. In order to improve the performance such as the efficiency and the output density of the battery, it is strongly required to reduce the resistance and improve the conductivity of the polymer electrolyte membrane, and researchers have made various studies for this purpose, and there are generally two approaches as follows: (1) the method of reducing the film thickness is used for reducing the resistance of the polymer electrolyte film and increasing the power density of the cell. However, reducing the film thickness results in a reduction in the mechanical strength of the film, increasing the likelihood of damage by other components during use, and shortening the service life. (2) The conductive group in the polymer electrolyte segment is increased to improve conductivity. For a polymer electrolyte membrane used for a fuel cell, the increase of the conductive group increases the dimensional change due to the change in atmospheric humidity, decreases the durability of the membrane, and results in a reduction in the service life of the cell.
In order to solve the above problems, studies have been made to improve the strength of a polymer electrolyte membrane, reduce dimensional change, and improve durability by compounding a porous membrane with a polymer electrolyte, and various technical solutions have been proposed.
Patent document 1 proposes a composite membrane in which an ion exchange material is sufficiently impregnated in an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane, and the strength and dimensional stability thereof are remarkably improved. But the preparation process is complex, pores in the ePTFE can be fully filled by soaking for many times, and the smoothness of the surface of the composite membrane is not ideal due to the low viscosity of the solution.
Patent document 2 has intensively studied the influence of the pore diameter of the porous membrane on the performance of the composite membrane, and proposes a composite membrane prepared by using a porous membrane having a pore diameter in a specific range (0.3 to 5.0 μm) which can not only have excellent initial power generation characteristics but also reduce dimensional change and suppress the generation of hydrogen peroxide or the like. Although this patent suggests the beneficial effect of appropriate pore size on the performance of the composite membrane, no new composite method has been suggested.
In patent document 3, an electrolyte membrane having a first proton-conducting polymer reinforced with a nanofiber mat is proposed, which has good thermal and chemical stability when operated at a relatively high temperature and exhibits excellent dimensional stability.
Patent document 4 proposes an improved continuous coating method for producing a composite membrane, which can improve the production efficiency of the composite membrane, in order to improve the situation where acidification is likely to occur when the ePTFE is compounded with a polymer using a spraying or dipping method and the impregnation sufficiency and uniformity of the resulting composite membrane are difficult to achieve.
However, in the methods for producing a composite membrane by compounding a polymer electrolyte with a porous membrane as proposed in the above patent documents 1 to 4, the influence of the viscosity of the polymer solution on the impregnation is not clearly proposed. But in practice the situation is often encountered: when a high-viscosity solution is adopted, the surface tension of the solution is very high, and when the porous membrane is impregnated, the solution is difficult to enter the inside of a pore channel due to the fact that the capillary phenomenon of the pore channel is hindered by the too-high surface tension of the solution, so that the impregnation condition is not ideal, and the filling rate is low; when the low-viscosity solution is adopted, although the surface tension of the solution is reduced at the moment, the capillary phenomenon of a pore channel is not easy to block, and the solution is easy to impregnate into the interior of the pore channel, the solution is not easy to cover the surface of the porous membrane due to the low viscosity of the solution, so that the surface roughness of the composite membrane is increased, and the surface resistance is increased when the composite membrane is contacted with an electrode; although the above phenomenon can be improved by repeated dipping or blade coating, the preparation process becomes more complicated and the surface uniformity of the composite film is deteriorated due to multiple treatments, and it is difficult to uniformly control the entire thickness of the composite film to be 25 μm or less.

Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a method for preparing a polymer composite electrolyte membrane, in which a porous membrane containing a low-viscosity polymer electrolyte a solution and a high-viscosity polymer electrolyte B solution are combined to obtain a polymer composite electrolyte membrane. The control of the solution viscosity can obviously improve the filling rate of the composite membrane and reduce the surface roughness, so that the comprehensive performance of the polymer electrolyte is greatly improved.
The purpose of the invention can be achieved by the following scheme:
a preparation method of a polymer composite electrolyte membrane comprises the steps of compounding a porous membrane containing a polymer electrolyte A solution with a polymer electrolyte B solution; wherein, the polymer electrolyte A and the polymer electrolyte B can be the same or different, the viscosity of the polymer electrolyte A solution at 25 ℃ is 10-99 centipoises, and the viscosity of the polymer electrolyte B solution at 25 ℃ is 100-8000 centipoises.
When the porous membrane containing the polymer electrolyte A solution is compounded with the polymer electrolyte B, a two-step process that two surfaces of the porous membrane containing the polymer electrolyte A solution are respectively compounded with the polymer electrolyte B solution is adopted: first, one surface of a porous membrane containing a polymer electrolyte A solution is combined with a polymer electrolyte B solution and dried, and then the other surface is combined with the polymer electrolyte B solution and dried. In the porous membrane containing the polymer electrolyte A solution, the content of the polymer electrolyte A solution is preferably 40% or more of the saturated liquid absorption amount of the porous membrane. When the liquid content is too low, the filling rate of the polymer composite electrolyte membrane may be affected; in order to achieve a higher filling rate, the content of the polymer electrolyte a solution in the porous membrane containing the polymer electrolyte a solution is more preferably 60% or more of the saturated liquid absorption amount of the porous membrane.
The two-step process is specifically shown in the attached figure 1: a first step of compounding and drying one surface of a porous membrane containing a polymer electrolyte A solution with a polymer electrolyte B solution; and secondly, compounding the other surface of the porous membrane with a polymer electrolyte B solution and drying to obtain the polymer composite electrolyte membrane. The method for producing the porous membrane containing the polymer electrolyte a solution of the present invention is not particularly limited, and the porous membrane can be obtained by introducing the polymer electrolyte a solution into the porous membrane by dipping, coating, or adsorption. In the above two-step process, the surface of the porous membrane containing the polymer electrolyte a solution and the polymer electrolyte B solution can be combined by conventional coating, casting, or spraying. The drying method is not particularly limited, and the drying treatment may be performed using a vacuum oven, a forced air oven, a hot plate, or the like.
The two-step process has the advantages that: (1) firstly, the porous membrane containing the polymer electrolyte A solution is obtained by filling the pore channels of the porous membrane with the low-viscosity polymer electrolyte A solution, and the surface tension of the pores in the porous membrane is sharply reduced. In this case, when the porous membrane is further combined with the polymer electrolyte B solution, the polymer electrolyte B solution can easily enter the pores of the porous membrane filled with the polymer electrolyte A solution. After the drying treatment, most of the pore channels in the porous membrane are fully filled with the polymer electrolyte A and the polymer electrolyte B, and a compact surface layer completely covered by the polymer electrolyte B is formed on the surface subjected to compounding. Without pre-filling of the low viscosity polymer electrolyte a solution, the high viscosity polymer electrolyte B would be difficult to fill inside the pore channels of the porous membrane; if only the polymer electrolyte A solution of low viscosity is pre-filled and then compounded, it is difficult to completely cover the rough surface of the porous membrane, and only a polymer composite electrolyte membrane having a high surface roughness can be obtained. In the porous membrane containing the polymer electrolyte a solution, the content of the polymer electrolyte a solution is preferably 40% or more of the saturated liquid absorption amount of the porous membrane; in order to achieve a higher filling rate, the content of the polymer electrolyte a solution in the porous membrane containing the polymer electrolyte a solution is more preferably 60% or more of the saturated liquid absorption amount of the porous membrane. In addition, the viscosity difference between the polymer electrolyte A solution and the polymer electrolyte B solution used in the step is the key point of the invention, so the viscosity of the polymer electrolyte A solution and the viscosity of the polymer electrolyte B solution at 25 ℃ are respectively 10-99 centipoise and 100-8000 centipoise, and in order to clearly distinguish the viscosity difference between the polymer electrolyte A solution and the polymer electrolyte B solution, the viscosity of the polymer electrolyte A solution and the viscosity of the polymer electrolyte B solution at 25 ℃ are preferably 20-60 centipoise and 200-8000 centipoise respectively.
After this first step, most of the pores of the porous membrane and the surface that has been compounded have been filled and covered with the polymer electrolyte. (2) In this case, the polymer electrolyte B solution is filled into the remaining small number of cell channels from the other surface of the porous membrane and forms a dense skin layer completely covered with the polymer electrolyte B on the other surface. Thus, by the production method of the present invention, a composite electrolyte membrane in which the inside of the porous membrane is completely filled and the upper and lower surfaces are completely covered with the dense polymer electrolyte layer is produced. The high packing rate contributes to a reduction in the internal resistance of the polymer composite electrolyte membrane itself and an increase in conductivity, and the low surface roughness contributes to an improvement in the contact resistance between the polymer composite electrolyte membrane and the electrode and brings about an increase in the battery performance.
In the production of the above-mentioned polymer composite electrolyte membrane, it is preferable that the polymer electrolyte A and the polymer electrolyte B used are each formed of a block copolymer comprising a segment containing an ionic group (A1) and a segment containing no ionic group (A2), and the polymer electrolyte A and the polymer electrolyte B may be the same or different, in view of the performance of the electrolyte membrane. The block copolymer may be selected from a variety of polymers, for example, a perfluoropolymer, and commercially available products such as Nafion (registered trademark) (manufactured by dupont), Flemion (registered trademark) (manufactured by asahi glass company) and Aciplex (registered trademark) (manufactured by asahi chemical company), or a polymer having an aromatic ring in the main chain and an ionic group (i.e., a non-fluorine polymer) may include polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyphenylene ether, polyarylene ether polymer, polyphenylene sulfide, polyarylene ether ketone, polyetherketone, polyetherphosphine oxide, polybenzoxazole, polyamide, polyimide, polyetherimide, or polyimide sulfone. In view of ion conductivity and durability, the molar ratio of the segment containing an ionic group (A1) to the segment containing no ionic group (A2) in the block copolymer is preferably 0.15 to 5.0.
In view of mechanical properties, physical durability, hydrolysis resistance and cost, the segment containing an ionic group (A1) preferably contains a structural unit represented by the following formula (S1):

Further considering physical durability and cost factors, in the formula (S1), X1Preferably represents a direct bond or a keto, sulfone or-C (CF)3)2-one of the above; m is preferably an integer of 0 to 2, n is preferably an integer of 0 to 2, and m and n are not 0 at the same time.
In view of mechanical properties, physical durability, hydrolysis resistance and cost, the segment (A2) containing no ionic group preferably contains a structural unit represented by the following formula (S2):

In the polymer composite electrolyte membrane, a porous membrane can be widely used as a porous substrate for reinforcement, such as a polymer porous membrane, a porous fabric, a molecular sieve, a porous metal plate, a porous ceramic or a porous asbestos plate, wherein the polymer porous membrane can be a porous membrane made of polyolefin, polyamide, polycarbonate, cellulose, polyurethane, polyester, polyether, polyacrylate, copolyether ester, copolyether amide, polyimide or fluoropolymer. In view of strength, porosity and cost, a fluorine-containing polymer porous membrane or a polyimide porous membrane is preferable. The porous film herein may be formed by phase inversion or stretching, or may be obtained by spinning. The porosity of the porous membrane is 30-99%, and preferably 60-95% in consideration of strength and resistance; the thickness of the porous film is 1 to 25 μm, and preferably 3 to 10 μm in consideration of the strength of the resulting composite film. In further consideration of the conductivity of the entire composite membrane, it is preferable to graft or blend the porous membrane containing a conductive group.
The polymer composite electrolyte membrane prepared by the method has a completely filled section structure and smooth and compact upper and lower surfaces, the thickness of the membrane is 2-25 micrometers, the filling rate is more than 85%, and the surface roughness of the upper and lower surfaces is not higher than 0.08 mu m; the thickness is preferably 4 to 12 μm in consideration of the cell performance of the electrolyte membrane.
In addition, the introduction of the porous membrane of the polymer composite electrolyte membrane prepared by the method has no influence on the phase morphology of the polymer electrolyte, for example, the co-continuous phase morphology of the sulfonated polyether-ether-ketone can still be maintained in the sulfonated polyether-ether-ketone composite electrolyte membrane, and the maintenance of the phase morphology is favorable for maintaining the excellent conductivity of the polymer electrolyte. Meanwhile, the filling rate of the polymer composite electrolyte membrane is up to more than 85%, and the ion exchange capacity of the polymer composite electrolyte membrane is 0.8-1.1 times of that of a pure polymer electrolyte membrane, so that the conductivity of the polymer electrolyte membrane is kept, and the overall conductivity of the composite membrane is improved.
The invention provides a novel preparation method of a polymer composite electrolyte membrane, which is characterized in that a porous membrane containing a low-viscosity polymer electrolyte A solution and a high-viscosity polymer electrolyte B solution are compounded. Because the viscosity of the solution is controlled, the polymer composite electrolyte membrane with high filling rate and low surface roughness can be prepared by using a simple process, so that the comprehensive performance of the polymer electrolyte is greatly improved, and the application prospect is more definite.
