Description

Poly (aryl quinine) polymer, preparation method and prepared anion exchange membrane
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis and fuel cells, and particularly relates to a polyarylquinine polymer, a preparation method and a prepared anion exchange membrane.
Background
The increasing energy crisis and environmental pollution are urgent to develop green efficient renewable energy sources, and hydrogen is receiving wide attention as an alternative energy source in order to replace fossil fuels and meet global climate change requirements. Hydrogen energy is recognized as the most ideal energy carrier in the future of humans because of its advantages of cleanliness, no carbon, easy transmission, high energy density, sustainability, no carbon, and renewable properties. However, most hydrogen is currently produced from fossil fuels by methane reforming, which produces large amounts of carbon dioxide. Thus, the development of low carbon clean hydrogen energy has become a global consensus.
The development of the technology of water electrolysis hydrogen production and fuel cells is a break-through of low-carbon clean hydrogen circulation, and the technology becomes an important field for supporting the development of high-proportion new energy and constructing a hydrogen-electricity cooperative pattern in the future. Three normal temperature water electrolysis hydrogen production technologies exist at present, including an alkaline aqueous solution electrolysis technology (ALK), a cation exchange membrane electrolysis water technology (PEM-WE) and an anion exchange membrane electrolysis water technology (AEM-WE). Wherein the AEM-WE electrolyzer is similar to the PEM-WE electrolyzer in structure, and the main structure is composed of an anion exchange membrane and two transition metal catalytic electrodes, and pure water or low-concentration alkaline solution is generally adopted as electrolyte. Meanwhile, AEM-WE is similar to an anion exchange membrane fuel cell (AEM-FC), and a cheaper non-Platinum Group Metal (PGM) electrocatalyst and a low-cost hydrocarbon-based membrane can be used, so that the AEM-WE has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency and the like, and is considered to be a hydrogen production technology with great development prospect.
Anion Exchange Membranes (AEMs) are an important component of AEM-WE and AEM-FC systems that function to conduct OH-from the cathode to the anode while blocking the direct transfer of gases and electrons between the electrodes. Meanwhile, AEM is also widely applied to new energy electrochemical devices in other fields such as electrodialysis, carbon dioxide reduction, flow batteries and the like. Compared with a cation exchange membrane, the anion exchange membrane has the disadvantages of complex preparation route, low hydroxide conductivity, poor mechanical stability and poor chemical stability, which are development bottlenecks; in addition, as AEM is in the working process, the local strong alkaline environment formed on the surface of the film can degrade AEM and generate perforation under the action of OH < - >, thereby causing electrode short circuit and affecting the service life. Thus, the development of novel anion exchange membranes is expected in the art, and how to enhance ionic conductivity, mechanical stability and alkaline stability is a key technical challenge for the further development of AEM-WE cells.
The new AEMs for AEM-WE or AEMFCs that have been developed today include most polymer backbones: such as Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polysulfone (PSF), polyphenylene oxide (PPO), polybenzimidazole (PBI), and cationic groups (tetraalkylammonium, imidazolium, phosphonium, and organometallic cations). However, the research results show that the polymer skeleton and benzyl trimethyl ammonium cations connected by the aryl ether are easy to attack by OH-, and the degradation pathways such as nucleophilic substitution, hofmann elimination, ylide formation and the like lead to skeleton fracture and cation loss, so that the durability of AEM is seriously weakened, especially when AEM is used under high temperature conditions. Another major class of novel AEMs is the poly (aryl piperidine) copolymers synthesized by the catalyzed polycondensation of superacids, which are developed in recent years and are based on electron-rich phenyl monomers and piperidones, and although the basic stability of AEMs is further improved by the absence of an aryl ether backbone and cyclic quaternary ammonium structures, hofmann elimination (the main degradation route of piperidine cyclic quaternary ammonium salts) cannot be avoided.
In summary, the anion exchange membranes on the market still have a plurality of structural defects, which result in relatively poor chemical stability and cannot meet the requirements of special application scenes. Especially in large-scale and large-scale industrial applications, the higher alkaline stability directly determines the durability and efficiency of AEM-WE and AEM-FC devices. Therefore, there is a need in the art to develop an AEM that combines excellent mechanical strength, high ionic conductivity and ultra-high chemical stability, effectively pushing the mass production and industrialization of AEM-WE and AEM-FC.
