Description

Benzimidazole polymer cross-linking agent, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of high-temperature proton exchange membranes for fuel cells, and particularly relates to a benzimidazole polymer cross-linking agent, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Polybenzimidazole (PBI) is a heterocyclic polymer containing benzimidazole repeating units on a main chain, and the main chain of a molecule of the Polybenzimidazole (PBI) has a trapezoidal structure and has good high-temperature resistance and mechanical properties, so that the PBI is one of the main materials of a proton exchange membrane for a high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell at present, but because the PBI does not have proton conductivity, proton conductivity can be realized only after doping protonic acid (usually using phosphoric acid), and the higher the doping amount of the acid is, the higher the proton conductivity of the PBI/acid composite membrane is. However, the incorporation of acid greatly reduces the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the membrane, thereby limiting the application of PBI proton exchange membranes. Therefore, the PBI proton exchange membrane generally needs to be cross-linked to improve its mechanical strength, thermal stability and chemical stability, so as to improve its comprehensive performance after being doped with acid.
Because the nitrogen-hydrogen bond on the imidazole ring in the PBI is the position with the highest activity, the reaction of the nitrogen-hydrogen bond is commonly used in the prior art to realize crosslinking, and the commonly used crosslinking agent mainly comprises organic acid with bifunctional group or polyfunctional group or halide thereof, or other compounds capable of reacting with imidazole can be used as the crosslinking agent of the PBI, such as: p-dibromide benzyl, p-dichlorobenzyl, dichloromethylphosphonic acid, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, 4 '-diepoxy- (3,3,5, 5' -tetramethylbiphenyl), neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether, bisphenol a type diepoxy ether resin, divinylsulfone, 3, 4-dichloro-1, 1-dioxo-tetrahydro-thiophene. The crosslinking agent of the above category can improve the mechanical strength and chemical stability of the PBI to a certain extent, but because the heat resistance and chemical resistance of the crosslinking agent are inferior to those of the PBI, the thermal stability of the PBI is greatly reduced after the crosslinking agent is crosslinked with the PBI. Meanwhile, due to the decrease of the content of the acidphilic structure (imidazole structure) and the limitation of the molecular chain movement, the acid doping amount of the PBI after the crosslinking is generally decreased, so that the comprehensive performances of the PBI after the acid doping, such as mechanical strength, thermal stability, chemical stability, proton conductivity and the like, still cannot be improved at the same time.

Dissolving 1g of PBI in 7g N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to prepare a solution with the weight percent of 12.5, adding 15% of the PBI by mass of a phenylate type benzimidazole cross-linking agent with the repeating unit of about 40, dissolving, filtering, pouring the obtained solution into a mold frame, heating at 120 ℃ until the solvent is volatilized to obtain a solid film, and continuously heating the solid film at 150 ℃ for 24 hours to obtain a cross-linked PBI film finished product 5.
Comparative example 1
Comparative example 1 differs from example 1 in that comparative example 1 had no crosslinker added and gave a finished pure PBI film.
Example 6
The thermogravimetric detection of the cross-linked PBI film finished product 1 obtained in example 1 of the invention and the pure PBI film finished product prepared in comparative example 1 is carried out, the obtained thermogravimetric curves are shown in figure 1, a is the thermogravimetric curve of the pure PBI film, b is the thermogravimetric curve of PBI-Ben (15), PBI-Ben (15) represents the cross-linked PBI film finished product 1 obtained in example 1, wherein the addition amount of the benzimidazole polymer cross-linking agent is 15% of the PBI mass.
As can be seen from fig. 1, a clear degradation step appears near 510 ℃ in the finished pure PBI film, which is caused by the degradation of the PBI main chain, while a degradation step appears near 250 ℃ in the finished cross-linked PBI film 1, which is caused by the degradation of the chemical structure generated by the reaction of the benzoxazine units at the end of the cross-linking agent, and the weight loss caused by the degradation step is small because the benzoxazine units occupy a small proportion in the cross-linking agent, and the weight loss is related to the addition amount of the cross-linking agent. Meanwhile, the cross-linked PBI film finished product 1 has obvious degradation steps above 510 ℃, belongs to the degradation of a cross-linking agent and a PBI main chain, and is composed of benzimidazole repeating units, so that the thermal degradation temperature is higher, and the thermal stability of the cross-linked PBI film finished product 1 is still maintained at a higher level. The 5% and 10% weight loss temperatures for the pure PBI membranes were 555 ℃ and 587 ℃ respectively. The weight loss temperatures of 5% and 10% of the finished product 1 of the cross-linked PBI film obtained in example 1 are 526 ℃ and 570 ℃, respectively, and although the weight loss temperatures are slightly reduced compared with those of a pure PBI film, the cross-linked PBI film simultaneously has excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, chemical stability, proton conductivity and the like, and the comprehensive performance reaches the current better level.
Example 7
Tensile property tests were performed on the cross-linked PBI film products 1 to 5 obtained in examples 1 to 5 and the pure PBI film prepared in comparative example 1, and the obtained test results of tensile strength, elongation at break, tensile modulus and the like are shown in Table 1 (the obtained test results are the average values of 6 tests).
TABLE 1 results of tensile properties and the like of the crosslinked PBI films obtained in examples 1 to 5 and the pure PBI film prepared in comparative example 1
Figure BDA0002506682220000081
As can be seen from Table 1, the tensile strength of the cross-linked PBI film products 1-5 obtained in examples 1-5 is greatly improved compared with that of the pure PBI film, which is beneficial to improving the resistance of the film to damage under the conditions of heating or acid doping, etc. The tensile elastic modulus of the cross-linked PBI film finished products 1-5 is improved to different degrees compared with that of a pure PBI film, and the elongation at break is increased along with the increase of the length of a cross-linking agent.
Example 8
The results of testing the tensile strength increase, the 5% weight loss temperature and the acid content increase of the cross-linked PBI film finished product 1 obtained in example 1 and the cross-linked PBI film finished products prepared in comparative examples 2 to 10 using different cross-linking agents are shown in Table 2. (the performance test values of the finished crosslinked PBI films of comparative examples 2-10 are all the best data obtained corresponding to the original text).
Figure BDA0002506682220000091
Wherein, the tensile strength increment and the acid doping amount increment are obtained by comparing on the basis of pure PBI film finished products; when the PBI membrane is used as a proton exchange membrane, the PBI membrane needs to be doped with acid, and the specific acid doping process comprises the following steps: soaking the PBI film in concentrated phosphoric acid for 48 hours at room temperature, taking out and drying, wherein the mass increment of the PBI film is the mass of the doped phosphoric acid; the acid doping amount and the acid doping amount increment respectively meet the following conditions:
table 2 Performance test results of the cross-linked PBI film finished products obtained by using different cross-linking agents in example 1 and comparative examples 2-10
Figure BDA0002506682220000092
As can be seen from Table 2, the tensile strength of the finished cross-linked PBI film 1 obtained in example 1 is increased by 74.4%, which is much higher than that of PBI films cross-linked by other cross-linking agents. The 5 percent weight loss temperature still reaches 526 ℃, is only slightly lower than 555 ℃ of a pure PBI film and is far higher than a PBI film product obtained by crosslinking other crosslinking agents. Because the molecular chain of the cross-linked PBI film finished product 1 is longer, the motion limit of the molecular chain is smaller after cross-linking, the content of the acidphilic unit (benzimidazole) in the molecular structure is higher, the increment of the acid doping amount reaches 49-65%, and the acid doping amount is at a higher level in the existing PBI film product. In conclusion, the combination property of the cross-linked PBI film finished product 1 obtained in the example 1 is obviously better than that of a PBI film obtained by cross-linking with other cross-linking agents.
