Description

    DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Subject of the Invention [0001]
  • The invention relates to organic/inorganic hybrid polymer blends and hybrid polymer blend membranes, that are composed of: [0002]
  • a polymeric acid halide containing —SO[0003] 2X, —POX2 or —COX groups (X═F, Cl, Br, I)
  • an element oxide or element hydroxide or metal oxide or metal hydroxide, obtained by the hydrolysis and/or the sol/gel reaction of an element organic and/or metal organic compound during the membrane formation process and/or by subsequently treating the membrane in aqueous acidic, alkaline or neutral electrolytes. [0004]
  • The invention farther relates to hybrid blends and hybrid blend membranes containing polymers that carry SO[0005] 3H, PO3H2 and/or COOH groups, obtained by aqueous, alkaline or acidic hydrolysis of the polymeric acid halides contained in the polymer blend or the polymer blend membrane.
  • The invention also relates to methods for producing said hybrid blends and hybrid blend membranes. [0006]
  • 2. State of the Art and its Disadvantages [0007]
  • The state of the art regarding acid chloride/inorganic hybrid composites is exposed in the following article: [0008]
  • Nafion sulfonyl fluoride precursor membranes are preswollen in perfluorohydrophenanthrene and immersed in 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Thereafter excess silane is washed out with EtOH. Hybrids are formed, in which by hydrolysis of silane and by reaction of silanes with SO[0009] 2F groups SiO2 networks partially cross-linked with the polymer are formed in the membrane matrix1.
  • Disadvantage of the described system is, that the sol/gel reaction takes place in a preformed membrane and consequently the content of the inorganic polymer phase formed by hydrolysis, of the polymer composite can not be set at will. [0010]
  • Also hybrid systems of nonionic polymers and metallic respectively elemental oxides have been described in the literature: [0011]
  • (e) composites of poly(n-butylmethacrylate) and titanium oxide, made by water vapor hydrolysis of titan alkoxides, which had been added to alcoholic solutions of a poly(n-butylmethacrylate) polymer solution, in the polymer matrix after evaporation of the solvent[0012] 2
  • (f) composite membranes of polyetherimide and nanodispersed Sicilian oxide, made by hydrolysis of TEOS in solutions of polyetherimide Ultem® in NMP by addition of 0.15 M HCl solution. After hydrolysis dense or phase inversed membranes are made from this polymer solution. Compatibility of the inorganic with the organic phase was obtained by extra addition of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AS)[0013] 3.
    • 3. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
  • An object of the invention is to provide composites and composite membranes of polymeric acid halides containing in addition an inorganic element/metal oxide/hydroxide phase, which improves the following membrane properties: [0014]
  • mechanical stability [0015]
  • thermal stability [0016]
  • improved water holding ability even at temperatures of >100° C., which is important in particular for the application in membrane fuel cells in the temperature range of >100° C. [0017]
  • In the process according to the invention organic precursors of element/metal oxides/hydroxides are brought into the polymer solution (alkoxides/esters, acetylacetonates etc). [0018]
  • The formation of tie inorganic phase in the ionomer happens after the membrane formation by hydrolysis in acidic, alkaline and/or neutral aqueous environment, whereby optionally at the same time or in another step the polymeric acid halide groups may be hydrolyzed to acid groups. [0019]
    • 4. OBJECT SOLVED BY THE INVENTION (DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION)
  • Surprisingly it has been found, that if zirconium(IV) propylate 70, weight % in 1-propanol, Zr(OCH[0020] 2CH2CH3)4 is brought into solutions of PSU sulfochloride in tetrahydrofuran, the zirconium(IV) propylate does not hydrolyze in the polymer solution or form a sparingly soluble complex, but is built into the membrane matrix upon evaporation of the solvent. If the zirconium(IV) propylate solution in propanol would be mixed with a solution of PSU sulfochloride (or PSU sulfonic acid or PSU sulfonic acid salt) in a dipolar aprotic solvent like N-methylpyrrolidinone, zirconium(IV) propylate would immediately hydrolyze or precipitate. Surprisingly it has been found, that the organic Zr compound can be hydrolyzed by successive posttreatment of the membrane in aqueous lye and/or water and/or acid to zirconium dioxide or zirconium oxide hydroxide nanodispersed in the membrane matrix. The inorganic zirconium compound can be detected by EDX in the membrane matrix. Also other organometallic compounds like Ti(acac)2(OiPr)2 can be mixed with PSU sulfochloride solutions in ether solvents without hydrolysis in the polymer solution and built into the membrane matrix upon evaporation of the solvent.
  • The following composites according to the invention can be made. Composite with [0021]
  • at least one polymeric acid halide with —SO[0022] 2X, —POX2 or —COX groups, whereby X means F, Cl, Br or I, preferably with an aryl main chain polymer backbone and
  • at least one salt, element oxide or element hydroxide or metal oxide or metal hydroxide, obtained by hydrolysis of the following classes of element organic and/or metal organic compounds: [0023]
  • metal/element alkoxides/esters of Ti, Zr, Sn, Si, B, Al [0024]
  • metal acetylacetonates, e.g. Ti(acac)[0025] 4, Zr(acac)4
  • mixed compounds of metal/element alkoxides and metal acetylacetonates, e.g. Ti(acac)[0026] 2(OiPr)2 etc.
  • organic amino compounds of Ti, Zr, Sn, Si, B, Al [0027]
  • during the membrane formation process and/or by posttreatment of the membrane in aqueous acidic, alkaline or neutral electrolytes. By the same posttreatment step or by another aqueous acidic, alkaline or neutral posttreatment step the acid halide groups can be thereby optionally hydrolyzed to the corresponding acid groups, to obtain ionomer (blend) membranes with an additional nanodisperse distributed inorganic phase.

  • The following solvents can be used to prepare the membranes according to the invention: dipolar-aprotic solvents such as N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or sulfolane or ether solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxan, glyme, diglyme, triglyme. [0029]
  • Due to the inorganic phase nanodisperse distributed in the membrane matrix, brought in according to the invention, the profile of properties of acid halide polymer(blends) or proton conducting ionomer(blends) and ionomer(blend)membranes is strongly changed. The proton conductivity rises, whereas the swelling does not increase correspondingly as usual. [0030]
  • Depending on the content and the nature of the nanodispersed distributed component the permselectivity of the membranes changes also for nonionic permeating molecules (e.g. gases). [0031]
  • If the hydrolysis is made in phosphoric acid or if a further posttreatment of the membranes with phosphoric acid is made after the hydrolysis, the corresponding metal or element phosphates or hydrogenphosphates or dihydrogenphosphates are generated, which on their part contribute to the proton conductivity.[0032]

  • 6. Novelty of the Invention [0045]
  • The new inorganic/organic hybrid ionomer(blend)membranes according to the invention and the methods for producing them have not been described to my knowledge in the literature, neither by own nor by other publications. [0046]
  • 7. Advantages of the Invention [0047]
  • The new inorganic/organic hybrid membranes according to the invention show an excellent profile of properties: [0048]
  • good proton conductivity [0049]
  • good thermal stability [0050]
  • good mechanical stability [0051]
  • limited swelling. [0052]
  • Some membranes according to the invention show, caused by the inorganic oxide/hydroxide in the membrane matrix, an improved water holding ability especially at T>80° C. It is supposed, that the nanodispersion of the inorganic component in the membrane is the reason behind. By mixing of oxide powders into ionomer membranes, as has been proposed in some publications[0053] 4 already, such a fine distribution of the inorganic component in the membrane matrix as with the method according to the invention can not be reached, where the element—organic/metal organic compounds are hydrolyzed only in the membrane matrix to the oxide or (hydrogen)phosphate. Depending on the specific composition the membranes according to the invention show further advantages:
  • reduced methanol permeability [0054]
  • contribution to proton conductivity, especially at T>80° C. [0055]
  • changed permselectivity, of both charged and uncharged particles [0056]
  • the membranes are photochemically active, especially those with nanodispersed titanium dioxide. [0057]
  • special compositions (with titanium dioxide) show photoluminescence [0058]
