Anion exchange membranes (AEMs), as the core component of the new generation anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs), directly determine the performance and the lifetime of this energy conversion device. Here, AEMs with pendant multiple quaternary ammonium anchored onto the poly(styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (SEBS) backbone are synthesized. The comb-shaped copolymer SEBS-C16 is synthesized with N,N-dimethyl-1-hexadecylamine and chloromethylated SEBS to improve solubility, then the multi-cation crosslinker is prepared and grafted on the above backbone to fabricate a series of flexible multi-cation crosslinked SEBS-based AEMs (SEBS-C16-xC4, where x% is the ratio of the crosslinker to polystyrene block) with practical properties. The obtained SEBS-C16-20C4 membrane exhibits a microphase separated morphol. with an interdomain spacing of 18.87 nm. Benefited from the ion channels, SEBS-C16-20C4 shows high conductivity of 77.78 mS/cm at 80°C. Addnl., the prepared SEBS-C16-20C4 membrane with ion exchange capacity of 2.35 mmol/g also exhibits enhanced alk. stability (5.87% hydroxide conductivity decrease in 2 M NaOH solution at 80°C after 1,700 h) and improved mech. properties, compared with the non-crosslinked SEBS-C16 sample. Furthermore, AEMFC single cell performance is evaluated with the SEBS-C16-20C4 membrane, and a maximum power d. of 182 mW/cm2 is achieved at 80°C under H2/O2 conditions.1,6-Dibromohexane(cas: 629-03-8Recommanded Product: 1,6-Dibromohexane) was used in this study.
1,6-Dibromohexane(cas: 629-03-8) is generally used to introduce C6 spacer in the molecular architecture. Some of the examples are: synthesis of solvent processable and conductive polyfluorene ionomers for alkaline fuel cell applications; synthesis of cross-linkable regioregular poly(3-(5-hexenyl)thiophene) (P3HNT) for stabilizing the film morphology in polymer photovoltaic cells.Recommanded Product: 1,6-Dibromohexane
