Developing anion exchange membranes (AEMs) having high hydroxide conductivity, swelling resistance and excellent alk. stability is a challenge for fuel cells now. Herein, a universal and controllable approach of grafting rigid side chain is first proposed to construct connected ion transport nano-channels. A new route is also provided to prepare AEMs with stable sym. saturated heterocyclic ammonium. The rigid side chain is introduced onto poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) by the Friedel-Crafts acylation with 4-fluorobenzoyl chloride and subsequent reaction between Ph fluoride and secondary amine of 1-methylpiperazine. Then the terminal piperazinium is produced by the reaction between tertiary amine of 1-methylpiperazine and Me iodide. Rigid branches expand free volume to construct connected ion transport nano-channels, leading to excellent conductivity (108 mS cm-1 at 60°C) that is higher than those of other reported sym. heterocyclic ammonium functionalized AEMs (33-89 mS cm-1 at 60°C). Due to the high conductivity, the H2/O2 cell employing this membrane achieves one of the highest peak power densities (1210 mW cm-2 at 2600 mA cm-2) so far. In addition, the IEC of the membrane remains constant after testing in 1 M NaOH at 60°C over 500 h.1-Methylpiperazine(cas: 109-01-3Category: piperazines) was used in this study.
1-Methylpiperazine(cas: 109-01-3) can be used as mimic template in the preparation of molecularly imprinted microspheres (MIMs). It was also used to prepare the difunctional strong anion-exchange stationary phase from a 1,4-diazacyclohexane derivative..Category: piperazines
