• PPS polyphenylene sulfide
• Diaphragm cloth is the main core material of water electrolyzers.
• Water-electrolytic hydrogen generators and oxygen generators are widely applied in military, petrochemical, and iron and steel making fields.
• major manufacturers of alkaline water-electrolytic hydrogen generators in China still use asbestos cloth as diaphragm.
• asbestos diaphragms have some drawbacks in production practice. Though asbestos is non-hazardous in itself, a severe hazard is incurred by the asbestos fibers, which are fibers that are extremely fine and almost invisible to naked eyes. After those fine fibers are released, they will float in the air for a long time and may be inhaled into human body.
• diaphragm cloth has been used as the main core material of water electrolysis equipment for long.
• asbestos diaphragms are being replaced with diaphragm cloth made from PPS fibers .
• the obtained diaphragms may have non-uniform pore size and poor gas impermeability if the fineness of the fibers used to weave PPS diaphragm cloth is inappropriate and the ratio of the twist of single yarns to the twist of plied yarns is improper.
• an asbestos-free environment-friendly and energy-saving diaphragm is disclosed.
• the diaphragm is a woven fabric woven from a raw material that consists of one, two or three of polyetheretherketone fibers, PPS fibers, and polypropylene fibers.
• the gas impermeability of the diaphragm cloth meets the requirements of the standard for asbestos diaphragms, the obtained diaphragm cloth has poor hydrophilicity and can't truly meet the application requirements, owing to the poor water absorptivity of the above-mentioned chemical fibers.
• a diaphragm cloth for a water electrolyser is a high density woven fabric formed by polyphenylene sulfide fiber with a diameter ranging from 4 to 12pm.
• the thickness of the cloth is 0.2 to 3.0mm and the gram weight is 200 to 600g/m 2 .

• the present invention attains the following beneficial effects: in the present invention, since PPS fibers at 0.1 to 12 ⁇ m fineness are used and the ratio of the twist of single yarns to the twist of plied yarns is proper, the drawbacks of non-uniform pore size and low gas impermeability in the prior art are overcome, and the obtained PPS woven fabric has small and uniform pore size. Therefore, the PPS fiber structure provided in the present invention not only has advantages of high gas impermeability and good hydrophilicity, but also has advantages of simple process, reduced energy consumption, and zero pollution to the environment.
• the PPS fiber structure provided in the present invention can be applied to diaphragms for electrolytic apparatuses, high-temperature liquid filter materials and insulating materials.
• the PPS fiber structure in the present invention is a woven fabric formed of PPS fibers in 0.1 to 12 ⁇ m cross sectional diameter, wherein, the maximum pore size of the PPS fiber structure is 20 ⁇ m or smaller.
• fabric with tabby has the highest number of interlacing points and the highest compactness. Therefore, woven fabric with tabby is preferred.
• the cross sectional diameter of the PPS fibers is smaller than 0.1 ⁇ m, the fibers will be difficult for carding in the carding procedure because the fibers are too thin. Consequently, cellfibre may be fractured, a phenomenon of undesirable resultant yarn and excessive neps may occur, and the quality of the yarns may be degraded.
• the obtained PPS cloth may have excessive flaws on the surface, which will influence the pore size and thickness of the fabric, leading to that the pore size and thickness of the fabric are non-uniform, and the gas impermeability of the fabric is further degraded; if the cross sectional diameter of the PPS fibers is greater than 12 ⁇ m, the cellfibre yarn will be too rigid and difficult to produce yarns because the fibers are too thick. Besides, the thick yarns will bring about difficulty in weaving, and the obtained fabric will have increased pore size and poor gas impermeability.
• the cross sectional diameter of the PPS fibers preferably is 6 to 10 ⁇ m, more preferably 6 to 8 ⁇ m.
• the warp yarns and weft yarns that form the PPS fiber structure are PPS staple yarns that have suffered from hydrophilic treatment. Both the warp yarns and weft yarns of the PPS fiber structure in the present invention use staple yarns. Compared with filament yarns, staple yarns have higher cohesive property between cellfibres, the voids between the cellfibres will not be increased owing to the structure of the yarns, and the pore size and gas impermeability of the fabric will not be affected.
• the staple yarns used in the present invention may be single yarns or plied yarns formed of single yarns, preferably are plied yarns . To ensure that the PPS fiber structure has excellent hydrophilicity, preferably PPS staple yarns treated through hydrophilic treatment are used.

If the maximum pore size of the PPS fiber structure is greater than 20 ⁇ m, the pore size of the PPS fiber structure will be too great, hydrogen or oxygen bubbles may penetrate through the voids in the fiber structure easily in the hydrogen generator when the PPS fiber structure is used. Consequently, the purity of single gas may be degraded. Therefore, the maximum pore size of the PPS fiber structure is 20 ⁇ m or smaller.
• the maximum pore size of the PPS fiber structure preferably is 15 ⁇ m or smaller; to make the pore size of the fiber structure more uniform and the distribution of pore sizes more concentrated, preferably the maximum pore size of the PPS fiber structure is 12 ⁇ m or smaller.
• the average pore size of the PPS fiber structure is 5 ⁇ m or smaller, and pores in 6 ⁇ m or smaller diameter account for 90% or a high percentage of all the pores in the fiber structure. If the average pore size of the PPS fiber structure is controlled within the above-mentioned range, high gas impermeability can be ensured, and it will be difficult for gas molecules and bubbles to penetrate through the voids, thereby mixing between the gas at the anode size and the gas at the cathode side can be prevented, and the purity and safety of the gas will be good. If the average pore size of the PPS fiber structure is greater than 5 ⁇ m, the woven fabric can't attain an isolation effect when it is used in the hydrogen production equipment since the pore size of the woven fabric is too great.
• the purity of the obtained hydrogen or oxygen may be low and can't meet the application requirements of the customers.
• the weaving conditions are optimized to improve the uniformity of pore size, so that pores in 6 ⁇ m or smaller pore size account for 90% or above of all the pores, preferably 95% or above.

If the yarn count of the single yarns is within the above-mentioned range, the obtained PPS fabric will have small and uniform pore size and high gas impermeability; moreover, the obtained woven fabric can attain a good hydrophilic treatment effect in the post processing. If the yarn count "s" of the single yarns is too low, the yarns will be too thick.
• the pore size of the woven fabric will be great, the gas impermeability of the woven fabric will be low, and ultimately the purity of obtained hydrogen or oxygen will be poor; if the yarn count "s" of the single yarns is too high, extremely thin yarns have to be used. Consequently, the production process will be difficult.
• the twist factor of the single yarns is within the above-mentioned range, the obtained PPS yarn will have moderate fluffiness.
• the obtained woven fabric will have small and uniform pore size and high gas impermeability, and the woven fabric can attain a good hydrophilic treatment effect in the post processing. If the twist factor of the yarns is too low, the twist of the yarns will be too low.
• the strength of the yarns will be low, the yarns may be broken easily in the weaving process, and the strength of the obtained fabric will be degraded; on one hand, if the twist factor of the yarns is too high, the twist of the yarns will be too high, and the voids at the interlacing points in the fabric will be obvious, and the pore size will be increased; on the other hand, the voids among the fibers in the yarns will be deceased, and the pore size of the entire woven fabric will be non-uniform and the gas impermeability will be decreased.
• the twist factor of the yarns of the PPS woven fabric is 180 to 350. If the twist factor of the yarns is too low, the twisting angle of the single fibers will be small, the cohesion force among the fibers will be decreased, the strength of the yarns will be decreased, and the weaving operation will be difficult in the weaving process, since the strength of the yarns is too low; if the twist factor of the yarns is too high, the cohesion force among the fibers will be too high, the strength of the yarns will be decreased, and pigtails may occur easily in the weaving process, resulting in that the weaving process will difficult to go on.
• the tension on the warp yarns is greater than the tension for wefting insertion of the weft yarns.
• the twist of the warp yarns is greater than or equal to the twist of the weft yarns in the PPS fiber structure in the present invention. If the twist of the warp yarns is slightly greater, the strength of the warp yarns can be ensured, and the shedding rate can be improved, which are beneficial for the weaving operation. If the weft yarns are staple yarns with slightly lower twist, the yarns will be fluffy, and the defect of increased and non-uniform pore size incurred by the increased twist of the warp yarns can be compensated.
• the ratio of the twist of the PPS yarns to the twist of the PPS single yarns in the present invention is 0.2 to 1.0. If the ratio of the twist of the yarns to the twist of the single yarns is within the above-mentioned range, the woven fabric will have uniform pore size, and more hydrophilic groups can be grafted during the hydrophilic treatment on the woven fabric. Thus, the liquid content in the woven fabric will be increased, and the aqueous film formed on the surface layer of the woven fabric will be thicker and can effectively block bubble penetration. Therefore, the purity of the obtained gas will be increased.
• the ratio of the twist of the PPS yarns to the twist of the single yarns is too low, the twist of the yarns will certainly be decreased, and the strength of the obtained PPS yarns will be low. Consequently, the strength of the obtained PPS woven fabric will be decreased, and the woven fabric may be penetrated more easily; if the ratio of the twist of the PPS yarns to the twist of the single yarns is too high, the voids among the fibers in the yarns will be decreased, so the pore size of the entire woven fabric will be non-uniform, the decreased gas impermeability will lead to non-uniform pore size of the woven fabric, and thereby the hydrophilic groups grafted to the woven fabric will be less.
• the gas impermeability of the PPS fiber structure in the present invention is 400 mmH 2 O or above.
• the requirement for gas impermeability of diaphragm cloth for water electrolyzers can be met essentially; in addition, the diaphragm cloth has excellent gas impermeability, ion passing efficiency and processability.

• the alkali absorption ratio of the PPS fiber structure in the present invention is 70 to 200%. If the alkali absorption ratio of the PPS fiber structure is too low, it will be difficult to form an aqueous film or the aqueous film will be too thin in alkaline liquor, and can't effectively block gas bubble penetration, and the purity of the obtained gas will be decreased; if the alkali absorption ratio of the PPS fiber structure is too high, the structure of the woven fabric will be certainly too loose, the voids in the woven fabric will be greater, and the performance of the diaphragm will be affected. In consideration of the hydrophilicity and structure of the PPS fiber structure, the alkali absorption ratio of the PPS fiber structure in the present invention preferably is 85 to 180%, more preferably is 100 to 160%.
• the high-performance PPS fiber structure in the present invention is applied to hydrogen generator, and its function is mainly for preventing penetration of gas molecules while allowing penetration of ions. Since different customers have different requirements for the purity of produced hydrogen and oxygen, the requirements for the pore size and gas impermeability of the fabric may be different, but such requirements are irrelevant to the type and texture of the fabric. The fabric can meet the requirements of the customers as long as interpenetration among gas molecules will not happen.
• the method for producing a high-performance PPS fiber structure in the present invention comprises the following steps:

• the thermoformed fabric is processed by plasma treatment to physically etch the PPS yarns and form concavo-convex pits on the surface layer of the fibers to increase the specific surface area of the PPS fibers; then, the PPS fabric is processed by sulfonation processing after the plasma treatment, such that the number of grafted hydrophilic groups can be increased and the hydrophilic property of the PPS fabric will be better.
• the PPS yarns prepared in the step (1) is processed by at least one of plasma treatment, sulfonation processing, and graft copolymerization methods, to obtain hydrophilic PPS yarns.
• the yarn is processed merely by plasma treatment, the fabric may have poor durability, and the hydrophilicity of the fabric after scouring may be degraded.
