New and emerging technologies for electrochemical energy conversion processes challenging separations have been major drivers the tremendous development of new polybenzimidazole chemistries materials in recent years.
PBFI- x %GTA membranes with twisted polymer structure and multiple hydrogen bonding sites were prepared displayed high HT-PEMFC performance.
Insertion of lithium into, or extraction from, metallic host materials can produce volume changes, which lead to rapid mechanical disintegration and deterioration Li‐alloy electrode performance. The cycling properties Sn‐based composite electrodes be significantly improved by optimizing the morphology microstructure storage matrices. Decreasing particle size powders a submicron scale using an intermetallic multiphase structure are effective ways for maintaining cycle stability. fine also...
Abstract Hexafluoropropylidene polybenzimidazole (F 6 PBI) was synthesized with excellent chemical stability and improved solubility. When doped phosphoric acid, however, the F PBI membranes showed plastic deformation at elevated temperatures. Further efforts were made to covalently crosslink chloromethyl polysulfone as a polymeric crosslinker. Comparing linear m membranes, polymer crosslinked exhibited little organo solubility, towards radical oxidation, high resistance swelling in...
Abstract High temperature operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cells under ambient pressure has been achieved by using phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes. To optimize the and cells, high performance polymers were synthesized molecular weights from 30 to 94 kDa with good solubility in organic solvents. Membranes fabricated systematically characterized terms oxidative stability, doping swelling, conductivity, mechanical strength cell durability. With increased...
High molecular weight polybenzimidazole (PBI) was synthesized and grafted with benzimidazole pendant groups. The high of PBI resulted in good film-forming properties superior tensile strength. With a phosphoric acid doping level (ADL) 13.1, strength 16 MPa achieved at room temperature. Grafting moieties onto the macromolecular chain introduced additional basic sites which allowed membrane to achieve higher uptakes. A molar conductivity, defined as specific conductivity each mole acid,...
Covalently cross-linked polymer membranes were fabricated from poly(aryl sulfone benzimidazole) (SO(2)PBI) and poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVBCl) as electrolytes for high-temperature proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells. The cross-linking imparted organo insolubility chemical stability against radical attack to the otherwise flexible SO(2)PBI membranes. Steady phosphoric acid doping of was achieved at elevated temperatures with little swelling. acid-doped exhibited increased mechanical...
In this work, we propose a sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) composite proton-conductive membrane based on 3-(1-hydro-imidazolium-3-yl)-propane-1-sulfonate (Him-pS) additive to break through the trade-off between conductivity and selectivity of vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). Specifically, Him-pS enables an oriented distribution SPEEK matrix construct highly conductive proton nanochannels throughout arising from noncovalent interaction. Moreover, "acid–base pair" effect...
