The crosslinked imidazolium functionalized anion-exchange membranes is in-situ prepared via reaction of chloromethylated poly(styrene-b-isobutylene-b-styrene) with 1,1′-(1,6-hexanediyl)bisimidazole and N-methylimidazole. The composite membranes of cross-linked imidazolium poly(styrene-b-isobutylene-b-styrene) with a small amount of modified graphene oxide grafted with octadecyl and Pr Ph imidazolium could be further prepared These membranes exhibit significantly high chem. stability and ionic conductivity (σ), marked by low methanol permeability, together with improved dynamic mech. properties. The ionic conductivity of crosslinked imidazolium poly(styrene-b-isobutylene-b-styrene) reaches 2.09 x 10-2 S cm-1 at 80°C by introduction of 0.5 wt% loading of modified graphene oxide. This membrane also behaves an excellent chem. stability and σ can remain ca. 82% of the original value after immerged in strong alk. medium (2 M NaOH) at 60°C for 500 h, which is almost the same as that (ca. 82%) of com. Nafion 115 in acid medium (2 M H2SO4) at 60°C for 500 h. The cross-linked imidazolium poly(styrene-b-isobutylene-b-styrene) is characterized as a promising anion exchange membrane materials in fuel cell for its high ionic conductivity, chem. stability and low methanol permeability. In the experiment, the researchers used 1,6-Dibromohexane(cas: 629-03-8Product Details of 629-03-8)
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.Product Details of 629-03-8
