Abstract
Hydroxide exchange membranes (HEMs) are important materials for energy conversion devices in hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells (HEMFCs). This study details a series of multi-directional branched HEMs containing octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane (OCSi). The OCSi structure allows for the establishment of continuous OH− conducting channels within the membrane while addressing the prevailing trade-off between ionic conductivity and size/mechanical stability. Thanks to the formation of fine microphase-separated morphologies, the quaternized poly(octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane-terphenyl-piperidinium) (QPOCSi-TP-2) membrane has high conductivity (152.9 mS cm−1 at 80 °C), excellent mechanical stability (tensile strength of 76.5 MPa) and outstanding chemical stability (1500 h in 5 M NaOH at 80 °C). In H2/O2 cell tests at 80 °C, the peak power density of the QPOCSi-TP-2 membrane reaches 1.26 W cm−2. During 120 h of operation at 100 m A cm−2, the voltage degradation rate of the cell is 1.02 mV h−1.
氢氧交换膜(HEMs)是氢氧交换膜燃料电池(hemfc)中能量转换装置的重要材料。本研究详细介绍了一系列含有八苯基环四硅氧烷(OCSi)的多向分支hem。OCSi结构允许在膜内建立连续的OH -导电通道,同时解决了离子电导率和尺寸/机械稳定性之间的普遍权衡。由于形成了精细的微相分离形态,季铵盐化聚(八苯环四硅氧烷- terphenylpiperidinium) (QPOCSi-TP-2)膜具有高电导率(80℃时152.9 mS cm−1)、优异的机械稳定性(抗拉强度76.5 MPa)和优异的化学稳定性(80℃下5m NaOH中1500 h)。在80℃的H2/O2电池测试中,QPOCSi-TP-2膜的峰值功率密度达到1.26 W cm−2。在100 m A cm−2下工作120 h时,电池的电压降解率为1.02 mV h−1。
