Definitions
- the present application relates to nanostructured membranes, their process of preparation and their use as an ion exchange membrane, as separating electrode:
- an electrode for voltammetric analysis and more particularly as an electrode for anodic redissolution.
- H + exchange membranes such as those sold under the name Nafion®. These membranes are expensive and very thick, which results in a fairly high electrical resistance. Moreover, these membranes usually have a poorly defined porous structure [2a] which tends to limit the ionic diffusion within these membranes.
- Ion exchange membranes can also be an alternative to separating electrodes implemented in batteries, especially lithium batteries. These membranes are generally quite thick and have problems of degradation, which can cause overheating problems difficult to control.
- the ion selective electrodes described to date in the literature involve membranes which are generally prepared by incorporating specific detection chemical compounds (ionophores) into a monomer mixture, polymerizing and then drying the mixture. This leads to obtaining so-called “zero current fluxes” phenomena which limit their detection threshold [1]. These membranes generally have a thickness greater than 100 ⁇ , which induces slow response times and high strengths. Thus, these electrodes are generally not sensitive enough to detect low concentrations or have problems of loss of sensitivity due to interferences between different ionic analytes.
- Electrodes for voltammetric analysis acceptable for the environment generally have unsatisfactory sensitivity to water quality standards.
- New non-toxic electrodes manufactured with functionalized nanoporous membranes can overcome this sensitivity problem [4a, b].
- the object described in this invention is a variant of these measures.
- New anodic redissolution electrodes to replace mercury drop electrodes are fabricated with functionalized nanoporous membranes. But, they generally have a too large pore depth, making it difficult to clean them for reuse [4a, b],
- these membranes may comprise an extremely thin ion-passing zone that allows an extremely rapid return to equilibrium.
- the effective zone for passing ions may be between 0.5 ⁇ and 9 ⁇ .
- the invention relates to a method for preparing a nanostructured membrane, said method comprising the steps of:
- nanostructured membrane comprising:
- nanopores whose depth (p) is less than the thickness of the polymer substrate (e), and
- the process according to the invention optionally comprises a step of recovering the nanostructured membrane obtained.
- nanostructured membranes designates latent-track membranes due to the passage of heavy ions ("ion tracks”), these latent traces being partially revealed or chemically etched (“partially etched ion tracks membranes”). To form nanopores.
- nanopores small pores, the depth of which is generally between 10 nm and 10 ⁇ m and in particular between 100 nm and 5 ⁇ m, depending on the thickness (e) of the polymer substrate and the chemical revealing conditions. .
- Processes comprising steps of irradiation, chemical revelation and functionalization of polymeric films have already been described in the prior art [2,4-11].
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of this method. However, this process leads to the formation of a network of cylindrical nanotubes passing through both sides of the thickness of the polymer substrate.
- FIG. 2 The process according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 2. It differs from the process of the prior art, in particular in that the step of chemical revelation is partial.
- this process thus makes it possible to form nanopores of defined and controlled size while preserving a more or less thick efficient passage zone of ions, which can be functionalized, in particular for ion exchange.
- the method of the invention comprises a step of irradiating a polymer substrate, this irradiation step having the function of creating free radicals in the constituent polymer of the substrate, this creation of free radicals being a consequence of the transfer of energy of the irradiation to said substrate.
- the irradiation step of the polymer substrate can be carried out according to the methods described in the prior art [2,4a-11].
- the polymer substrate can be irradiated with accelerated heavy ions.
- heavy ions are ions whose atomic mass is greater than that of carbon. Generally, these are ions selected from Krypton ( 78 Kr I5 + , 78 Kr 31+ ), Xenon ( , 29 Xe 29+ , 129 Xe 54+ ), Lead ( 23S Pb 56+ ) or Nickel ( 58 Ni 25+ ).
- Such "moderately" heavy ions advantageously make it possible to control the nanostructuration of the membranes during the process of the invention, that is to say to control the pore volume, in particular their depth (p) and / or the thickness the effective zone of ion passage (e).
- this step may consist in bombarding the polymer substrate with a heavy ion beam, under an inert atmosphere, with a mean energy flow of 10 7 to 10 cm -2 at room temperature [2, 5-7 , 9, 11]
- This irradiation leads to the formation of free radicals in the passage of ions, ie to latent traces of the passage of ions.
- the heavy energy vector ion passes through the matrix, its speed decreases.
- the ion gives up its energy, creating damaged areas, whose shape is approximately cylindrical. These areas are called latent traces and include two regions: the heart and the halo of the trace.
- the core of the trace is a totally degraded zone, namely an area where there is rupture of the constituent bonds of the polymer material generating free radicals.
- This core is also the region where the heavy ion transmits a considerable amount of energy to the electrons of the polymeric material. Then, from this heart, there is emission of secondary electrons, which will cause defects far from the heart, thus generating a halo.
- the energy deposition is distributed according to the irradiation angle and is inhomogeneous. It is possible to create traces arranged in a predetermined pattern, and thereby to induce grafting of compounds only in the above-mentioned traces. Thus, it is possible to induce different grafting patterns by modulating the irradiation angle with respect to the normal of the faces of the polymer substrate.

- the pH of this solution is generally strongly basic, in particular greater than or equal to 9, in particular greater than or equal to 15.
- the membrane After contacting with the revealing solution, the membrane is generally rinsed with an aqueous solution, for example a solution of sodium disulphite. The membrane is then generally dried under vacuum at a temperature usually between 40 and 60 ° C.
- an aqueous solution for example a solution of sodium disulphite.
- p max e / 2 in the case of a total revelation, from both surfaces of the polymer substrate subjected to the same conditions of revelation, where e is the thickness of the irradiated film.
- ⁇ can vary depending on the chemical revelation conditions, especially as a function of the concentration of the revealing solution, the nature of the ion incident during of the irradiation step and the temperature [5], this duration can be readily determined by those skilled in the art, for example by determining in advance the minimum time necessary to obtain a complete revelation.
- the revelation of these latent traces is partial, the only part of each of these traces is revealed, so as to form nanopores of depth (p) ⁇ (e), the crossing not the thickness of the membrane, the other part being kept in the latent trace state, of thickness (t).
- this step is performed over a time ⁇ sufficiently short to avoid the formation of cylindrical nanopores through the entire thickness of the membrane.
- This chemical revelation can be visualized by field scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and / or followed by ionic conductivity.
- the depth of each of the nanopores (p) and the thickness (t) of each of the latent traces are directly proportional to the revelation time ⁇ .
- This chemical revelation step can be carried out on a single surface or on both surfaces of the polymer substrate, under identical or different conditions, especially during identical or different revelation times.
- the process according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to control the porous structure of the membrane, while allowing access to symmetrical ( Figure 2) or asymmetrical nanostructured membranes.
- the chemical development step is carried out on both surfaces of the polymer substrate, under the same conditions, so as to obtain symmetrical nanostructured membranes.

- the ion exchange membranes according to the invention are particularly useful as ion selective electrodes, in that they allow access to very fast response times because of their small thickness, generally order of 5 to 25 ⁇ , and in particular of the order of 10 ⁇ , including 0.5 to 9 ⁇ thick for the effective zone of ion passage. Moreover, since the thickness (t) of the functionalized zone, i.e. the ion exchange domain, is even smaller, it makes it possible to considerably reduce the electrical resistance of the membrane. Finally, the ionophore molecules are covalently bound to the membrane to reduce the phenomena of "passive diffusion" and thus improve the detection.
- the use of the membranes according to the present invention as ion exchange membrane in fuel cells also offers several advantages.
- the membranes according to the present invention are indeed less expensive than those usually used. Their lower thickness also makes it possible to reduce the electrical resistance, in particular by reducing the distance separating the electrodes from the ohmic resistance of the membrane.
- the regularity of the size of the nanopores makes it possible to improve the diffusion of the ionic species.
- membranes according to the present invention as a separating electrode in batteries also has many advantages.
- the small thickness of the membranes according to the invention combined with a controlled porosity makes it possible to obtain good thermal stability and "shutdown" properties, ie a closure of the nanopores by thermal expansion to avoid short circuits between the anode and the cathode.
- the thickness of the membranes reduces the electrical resistance and thus improves the efficiency of the battery [3].
- the membranes according to the present invention are also particularly useful as a separating membrane in Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) sensors (i.e. Anodic Cyclic Voltammetry).
- ASV Anodic Stripping Voltammetry
- the nanopores of the membranes according to the invention are relatively deep so that they can be more effectively cleaned by anodic stripping [4].

- the PVDF films are extracted with toluene for 24 hours. Accelerated heavy ion irradiations were carried out at GANIL, Caen. The films were irradiated with Kr or Ni ions (10.37 Mev / amu, fluence 10 7 to 10 cm- 2 ) under He atmosphere In both cases, the samples were stored at -20 ° C under Argon atmosphere until chemical revelation and radiografting.
- PVDF film irradiated by heavy ions SNI 5 25+ (10.9MeV / amu) were partially revealed using a permanganate solution (0.25 M) in a strongly basic medium (KOH, 10M) at 65 ° C with different revelation times ranging from 0.5 to 3 hours.
- the resulting membranes obtained were washed with a solution of potassium disulphite (15%) and then dried at 50 ° C under vacuum. Under these conditions, the revelation is about 50 rpm / min.
- the revelation times of less than 8.33 hours are considered to lead to a "partial revelation".
- PVDF films irradiated with heavy ions of 78 Kr 31+ (10 MeV / uma) were chemically revealed using a solution of permanganate (0.25 M) in a strongly basic medium (KOH, 10M) at 65 ° C.

- the revelation times of less than 30 minutes are considered to lead to a "partial revelation”.
- the initial size PVDF film 20x20 mm 2 was weighed. The film was then immersed at room temperature in a radio-grafting solution containing acrylic acid and Mohr salt (0.25% w / w). After 15 minutes of nitrogen bubbling at room temperature, the samples were introduced into an aqueous bath thermostated at 60 ° C for 1 hour. The membranes were then washed with water and then extracted ("Soxhlet extract") with water to boil to extract the ungrafted homopolymer. The functionalized membranes were then dried at 50 ° C. under vacuum and characterized by FESEM (FIG. 3).

- a partially disclosed membrane functionalized for anion exchange was prepared.
- Such a membrane contains a thin layer of silver (about 50 nm) sprayed on each side of the polymer substrate.
- the membrane coated with a silver layer was then immersed in a 1 molar solution of KCl to form a layer of AgCl.
- One of the surfaces of the membrane was then immersed in a solution of Ag in order to electrodeposit a very thick layer of Ag (about 1 micron) which was then protected by an insulating tape, so that this surface works as a reference electrode.
- the potential of the battery is:
- a change of one decade in concentration [CL] causes a potential change of 59 mV.
