- the objective of this example was to demonstrate a method to crosslink an anion exchange membrane.
- Step 1 Preparing a polymer membrane comprising a polymer comprising styrene, vinylbenzyl-R s and vinylbenzyl-R x , wherein R s is a positively charged cyclic amine group, R s being associated with a negatively charged counterion, and wherein R x is at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of CI, OH, and O-Ri9, wherein Ri9 is selected from linear alkyls, branched alkyls, cyclic alkyls, heteroalkyls, aryls, heteroaryls, alkylaryls, and heteroalkylaryls and wherein the total weight of the vinylbenzyl-R x groups is greater than 0.3% of the total weight of the polymer electrolyte membrane, as in the following example:
- VBC inhibitor- free vinylbenzyl chloride
- Step 2 Crosslinking.
- the polymer membranes above were soaked in a 1 M KOH solution overnight at room temperature, during which time the membranes fell from the liners.
- the KOH solution was changed twice, each with at least two hours of immersion, to make sure that the membrane chloride ions were completely exchanged for hydroxide ions, so that the polymer membranes were converted into the hydroxide form.
- NMR analysis before step 2 indicates that the about 20% of the VBC groups in the resultant polymer were not converted to vinylbenzyl imidazolium chloride at the end of this step. Calculations indicate the total weight of the vinylbenzyl-Cl groups is about 6% of the total weight of the polymer electrolyte membrane;
- step 2 the polymers were soluble in many solvents, but after step 2 the polymer membranes were insoluble in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), isopropanol, 1-propanol, chloroform, acetone, toluene and ethanol, suggesting that some residual vinylbenzyl chlorides and/or the hydroxides from the soaking solution had reacted with some other species to form cross-links.
- DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide
- DMF dimethylformamide
- the conductivity of the film using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was also measured.
- the particular film created here had a conductivity of 73 mS/cm at 60°C in 1 M KOH.
- Films manufactured by varying the functionalization time in step 1(d) had conductivities between 40 and 95 mS/cm at 60°C in 1 M KOH.
- the Young's modulus of the membrane was also measured after being soaked in 6% by weight ethylene glycol overnight and then 1 M KOH for 20 hours. The membrane showed a tensile strength of 33 MPa and an elongation at break of 58%. Other membranes with fewer vinylbenzyl-R z groups showed Young's modulus down to about 15 MPa.
- This technique generates two-dimensional correlation plots that use the one-dimensional NMR spectra (in this case, carbon- 13 and proton) as x- and y-axes, respectively.
- This method is useful for elucidating peak assignments and connectivity patterns in organic molecules. This is achieved by indicating bonding relationships between, for instance, a peak in the proton spectrum and a peak in the carbon- 13 spectrum.
- the two-dimensional spectrum indicates a correlation between peaks giving rise to a carbon- 13 signal and the proton spectrum signal from the hydrogens bonded to that carbon.
- HSQC can aid in revealing when strongly overlapped signals in the proton spectrum actually arise from more than one type of chemical functionality even though such information is hidden when only the one-dimensional spectrum is analyzed.
