    In order to create innovative electrochemical capacitors using anion exchange membrane as polymer electrolyte for use in fuel cells, we investigated effects of the membrane thickness and interface structure with activated carbon electrodes on electrochemical properties of the electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) cell. By optimizing thickness of electrolyte membrane and electrode/electrolyte interface structure, we succeeded in constructing an excellent EDLC cell with better rate-capability and lower cell resistance, compared with a cell using KOH solution. Furthermore, it was clarified that the electrolyte membrane had a good adaptability to a 2.5 V-class asymmetric capacitor composed of activated carbon and manganese-nickel oxide solid solution electrodes.

    A novel hydrocarbon ionomer membranes containing no fluorine atoms have been designed and synthesized. The membrane exhibited high proton conductivity and chemical stability, similar to or even better than those of the existing perfluorinated ionomer membranes. In addition, introducing a small portion of fluorinated aliphatic groups into hydrocarbon ionomer membranes was found to be effective in improving interfacial problems between the membranes and catalyst layers. With these ionomer membranes, high fuel cell performance was obtained.

    Anion conductive aromatic multiblock copolymers containing ammonium-substituted fluorene groups, were synthesized The quaternized multiblock copolymers produced ductile, bendable, and transparent membranes. A well-controlled multiblock structure was responsible for the developed hydrophobic/hydrophilic phase separation and interconnected ion transporting pathway, as confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopic observation. The ionomer membranes showed high hydroxide ion conductivities in water. The durabilities of the membranes were evaluated under severe, accelerated-aging conditions, and minor degradation was recognized. A noble metal-free direct hydrazine fuel cell was operated with the QPE membrane at 80 degree C. High maximum power density was achieved.

    The objective of the research is to evaluate the effect of superacid groups on the properties of aromatic polymers as ion exchange membranes for polymer electrolyte fuel cells(PEFCs). The title polymers were synthesized by Ullmann coupling reaction of iodo- or bromo-substituted poly(arylene ether)s. It was found that the superacid groups significantly improved the hydrophilic/hydrophobic phase separation and proton conductivity of the poly(arylene ether) ionomer membranes. The effect was more pronounced for the block copolymers compared to the homopolymers and random copolymers. The superacid-modified poly(arylene ether) ionomer membranes showed excellent fuel cell performance.

    昨年度分子構造を最適化したポリエーテル系電解質(SPE-3)をガス拡散電極へ適用し,その物性を評価した。SPE-3をジメチルアセトアミドに溶解し,市販の白金ナノ粒子高分散担持カーボンブラック(Pt-CB)触媒と混合した。ペースト化した溶液をスプレードライヤーを用いて蒸発乾燥させ,SPE-3を被覆したPt-CBを調製した。電子顕微鏡観察から,SPE-3電解質が触媒上に2-3nm程度の厚さで均一に被覆できていることを確認した。また,水銀ポロシメトリー測定により,触媒のナノ空間にも電解質が充填できていることが示唆された。
    調製したSPE-3被覆Pt/CB触媒を水/2-プロパノール溶液を用いて再度ペースト化し,撥水化処理を施して拡散層を塗布したカーボンペーパー上に塗布してガス拡散電極とした。SPE-3とカーボンの重量混合比が異なる(SPE-3/CB=0.5,0.8,1.1)3種の電極を調製した。作製した電極は,Nafion NRE212膜を用いてホットプレスを行うことによりMEAとした。セル温度を80℃とし,燃料に加湿水素,酸化剤に加湿酸素を用いて燃料電池運転を行った。オーム抵抗は電解質膜の抵抗(0.05Ωcm^2)よりも若干高い値であったが,カソード加湿温度を上げることにより電解質膜抵抗とほぼ同じ値にまで低下した。SPE-3/CB比やカソード加湿条件が異なるいずれの条件においても,アノード分極はほぼ無視できるほど小さい値であった。一方,カソード特性は低電流密度では比較的優れた性能が得られたが,高電流密度においては特に高加湿条件で著しい分極の増大が認められた。高加湿条件ではSPE-3の膨潤が大きく,酸素の拡散が阻害されるためと考察できる。アノード加湿温度を低下することによりカソードからの生成水逆拡散が増大し,性能を向上させることに成功した。

    平成17年度はポリエーテル電解質(SPE-1)の改良と膜電極接合体の作成および燃料電池運転試験を行った。低加湿条件下でのプロトン伝導度の向上を目的として、イオン交換容量(IEC)を増大させ分岐または架橋点を導入して安定化した新型のSPE-1膜を合成した。これら分岐・架橋SPE-1膜のプロトン伝導度は未架橋膜に比べて高い値を示した。特に、高いIEC(2.50meq/g)を有する架橋膜ではその効果が顕著であり、100、120℃いずれの温度でも低加湿条件下でのプロトン伝導度を1桁程度向上させることに成功した。
    SPE-1電解質を用いてコロイド沈着法により触媒層を調製し、燃料電池運転試験を実施した。電解質とカーボンブラックの組成比(SPE-1/CB)を変化させてカソード特性を調べたところ、電流密度900mA/cm^2におけるSPE/CB=1.0電極の白金質量活性は27A/gであり、ペースト法で調製した同じ組成の電極の約2倍高い活性が得られた。この値は、フッ素系電解質(Nafion)で最適化した電極の質量活性20A/gをも上回っている。また、Tafel勾配は理論値の70mV/decにほぼ一致した値が得られていることから、プロトンと酸素が十分に供給されていることが確認できた。
    実用電位0.7Vにおける電流密度はペースト法電極の2倍(320mA/cm^2)に達した。コロイド沈着法により物質供給を阻害することなく触媒利用率が高められた結果、総合的な性能が大幅に向上したものと考えられる。さらに、濃度過電圧はコロイド沈着法のSPE/CB=0.5の電極が、最も低い値を示しており、高電流密度運転が要求される場合には、0.5≦SPE/CB<1.0の範囲が適していることを見出した。以上の成果から、新型ポリエーテル電解質を用いることにより燃料電池の高性能化が達成できることが明らかとなった。

    平成14年度において、嵩高い疎水性(フルオレニル)基を有するポリイミド電解質が、高温で高いプロトン伝導度を示すことを見出した。フルオレニル基が剛直なポリイミド鎖間に水を保持する空間を形成し、"水分子の閉じ込め効果"により100℃以上でのプロトン伝導度の世界最高値(1.67Scm^<-1>)が達成された。本年度は安定性を一層向上させることを目的として、スルホン酸基をフルオレニル基に導入した新型ポリエーテル電解質の合成と物性評価を行った。原料重合体はフルオレニリデンビフェノールとビスフルオロフェニルスルホンの重縮合により合成し、これをクロロ硫酸を用いてスルホン酸化することにより電解質とした。スルホン酸化反応はクロロ硫酸添加量により制御が可能であり、スルホン酸化度が異なる一連の電解質を合成した。^1H-NMRスペクトルにより、フルオレン環の2,7-位のみにスルホン酸基を導入できたことを確認した。得られた電解質は極性有機溶媒に可溶で、溶液キャスト法により均一で強靭な無色透明の膜として得られた。熱重量示差熱分析において、Nafionや他の炭化水素系電解質膜と比較して同程度の熱安定性を確認、また明確なガラス転移温度は観察されなかった。イオン交換容量(IEC)が1.7meq/9g以下の膜はフェントン試薬中30分以上形状を維持し、高い酸化安定性を示した。高温高湿雰囲気における分子量変化はなく、優れた加水分解安定性を示した。スルホン酸基を側鎖フルオレニル基に導入することで主鎖近傍の疎水性が保たれ、主鎖切断が抑制されるものと考えられる。100%RH下においてIECが1.1meq/g以上の膜は、Nafion112と同程度以上のプロトン伝導度を示した。特にIECが1.14meq/gの膜は100℃以上の高温でもプロトン伝導度が低下せず、140℃で0.20Scm^<-1>と高い値を保持した。以上のように、高温固体高分子形燃料電池用の新しいプロトン伝導性電解質膜を創製することが出来た。

    Anion-conductive ionomers are used for electrolyte membranes in membrane-electrode assemblies and for binders in catalyst layers in anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). The conformations of these ionomers as well as their water distribution are important for designing new efficient/durable anion-conductive ionomers for AEMFCs. For a deeper understanding of the distribution of deuterium oxide (D2O) as a function of depth, neutron reflectometry (NR) was carried out on thin films of an anion exchange ionomer, BAF-QAF, with a thickness of approximately 60 nm formed on a thermally formed SiO2 film on Si(100) and on a 20 nm Pt layer deposited on the SiO2 film at a temperature of 60 °C and relative humidities of 0, 50, 70, and 90%. Clear NR modulation was obtained under each condition. The NR data were fit very well with a three-sublayered model parallel to the substrate with different densities of BAF-QAF and D2O. The influence of the SiO2 and Pt substrates was observed not only at the BAF-QAF/substrate interface but also on the entire thin film. The D2O absorption/desorption behavior in each sublayer differed in the BAF-QAF films cast on SiO2 and Pt. The BAF-QAF/SiO2 interface was rather hydrophilic, while the BAF-QAF/Pt interface was very hydrophobic.

    Novel anion conductive aromatic copolymers containing hexafluoroisopropylidene groups as the hydrophobic component and fluorenyl groups substituted with pendant hexyltrimethylammonium groups as the hydrophilic component were synthesized and characterized. Precursor copolymers, BAF-AF, were synthesized by a nickel(0) promoted polycondensation reaction and had a high molecular weight (M-n = 10-12 kDa, M-w = 77-115 kDa). Quaternization of BAF-AF using dimethyl sulfate gave tough and bendable thin BAF-QAF membranes having the ion exchange capacity (IEC) from 1.3 to 2.4 mequiv g(-1) by solution casting. The morphology of BAF-QAFs was investigated by TEM images and SAXS profiles, and a nanoscale fine phase-separated structure was confirmed. The BAF-QAF membrane with IEC of 2.4 mequiv g(-1) showed a superior OH- conductivity (134 mS cm(-1) at 80 degrees C) in water. The membranes retained high conductivity under strongly alkaline conditions (similar to 4 M KOH at 80 degrees C) for 1000 h. An H-2/O-2 anion alkaline fuel cell using the BAF-QAF membrane and binder achieved the maximum power density of 319 mW cm(-2) at 702 mA cm(-2) at 60 degrees C and 100% RH. Hexafluoroisopropylidene groups contributed to improving membrane properties as anion exchange membranes for alkaline fuel cells.

    The structures of polymer electrolyte membranes and catalyst layer binders and the distribution of water therein are important for designing new ion-conductive ionomers for polymer electrolyte fuel cells. To aid the understanding of the in-plane water distribution, neutron reflectometry (NR) was carried out on a Nafion (R) film with a thickness of 150 nm formed on a 20-nm Pt layer deposited on Si(100) with a native SiO2 layer. By means of ambient pressure X-ray absorption spectroscopy at room temperature in air, the Pt substrate was found to be metallic. For NR, the temperature was set at 80 degrees C and the relative humidity at 30, 50 and 80%, simulating the conditions for power generation. Clear NR modulation was obtained under each condition. NR data were fit very well with a 3-sublayered model parallel to the substrate with different densities of Nafion and water. The influence of the Pt substrate was observed not only at the Nafion/Pt interface, but also on the thin-film structure. The water uptake in a Nafion film on Pt also differed from that on SiO2. At 80 degrees C, the surface of the Pt substrate was proposed to be oxidized, and the Nafion/Pt interface was found to contain water, in contrast to the interface observed at room temperature.

    Novel anion-conductive polymers containing perfluoroalkyl and ammonium-functionalized fluorene groups were synthesized and characterized. The quaternized polymers synthesized using a dimethylaminated fluorene monomer had a well-defined chemical structure in which each fluorenyl group was substituted with two ammonium groups at specific positions. The resulting polymers had a high molecular weight (Mn = 8.9-13.8 kDa, Mw = 13.7-24.5 kDa) to provide bendable thin membranes with the ion-exchange capacity (IEC) ranging from 0.7 to 1.9 mequiv g-1 by solution casting. Both transmission electron microscopy images and small-angle X-ray scattering patterns suggested that the polymer membranes possessed a nanoscale phase-separated morphology based on the hydrophilic/hydrophobic differences in the polymer components. Unlike typical anion-exchange membranes found in the literature, hydroxide ion conductivity of the membranes did not increase with increasing IEC because of their high swelling capability in water. The membrane with IEC = 1.2 mequiv g-1 showed balanced properties of high hydroxide ion conductivity (81 mS cm-1 at 80 °C in water) and mechanical strength (>100% elongation and 14 MPa maximum stress at 80 °C, 60% relative humidity). The polymer main chains were stable in 4 M KOH for 1000 h, whereas the trimethylbenzyl-type ammonium groups degraded under the conditions to cause loss in the hydroxide ion conductivity. An H2/O2 fuel cell with the membrane with IEC = 1.2 mequiv g-1 exhibited a maximum power density of 242 mW cm-2 at 580 mA cm-2 current density.

    For improving the alkaline stability and other properties of aromatic semiblock copolymer [QPE-bl-11a(C1)] membranes containing benzyltrimethylammonium groups, several novel hydrophilic monomers with different side-chain lengths and substitution positions were designed and synthesized for the polymerization. The pendant-type preaminated copolymers PE-bl-11s were quaternized using iodomethane to obtain the target QPE-bl-11s with well-defined chemical structure. In TEM analyses, QPE-bl-11a(C3) and QPE-bl-11a(C5) membranes with propyl and pentyl side-chains, respectively, showed more developed phase-separated morphology with greater hydrophilic domains (ca. 10-20 nm in width) than that of the C1 equivalent. The phase separation was more distinct and larger for the QPE-bl-11a membranes linked with p-phenylene groups in the hydrophilic part than for the QPE-bl-11b membranes with m-phenylene groups. In particular, QPE-bl-11b(C5) membrane exhibited considerably smaller hydrophilic/hydrophobic domains compared to those of the other membranes. After the alkaline stability test in 1 M KOH aqueous solution at 60 °C for 1000 h, the remaining conductivity was better as increasing the side-chain length: 34% for QPE-bl-11a(C1), 54% for QPE-bl-11a(C3), and 72% for QPE-bl-11a(C5) at 60 °C. The results suggest that the pendant alkyl chains could improve the alkaline stability and the main-chain bond position could improve morphology, water utilization, and mechanical properties of QPE-bl-11 membranes. An H2/O2 fuel cell with QPE-bl-11 membrane showed 139 mW cm-2 of the maximum power density at 0.28 A cm-2 of the current density.

    A decomposition mechanism of H2O2 by triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) is presented. TPPO is often incorporated in proton-exchange membrane electrolytes as a moiety to inhibit the H2O2-induced degradation of the membranes. However, it has not been revealed how TPPO decreases the concentration of free H2O2 in the membranes. Following the experimental X-ray structures, the TPPO dimer capturing two H2O2 molecules was used as the calculation model. The vibrational spectrum calculations for various hydration numbers show that this model correctly reproduces the spectral peaks of TPPO capturing H2O2. On the basis of this model, the H2O2 decomposition mechanism by the TPPO dimer was searched. It was consequently found that this reaction proceeds through three steps: (1) Hydrogen transfer from H2O2 to the P=O bond of TPPO, (2) Hydrogen transfer from the -OOH group to the -OH group, and (3) O-O bond formation between O2 groups. The calculated vibrational spectra for the reactants and intermediates indicated that the first and second steps are activated by vibrational excitations. Moreover, the third step giving low barrier heights is considered to proceed through two reaction paths: directly producing the O2 molecule or going through an HOOOH intermediate. Interestingly, this reaction mechanism was found to use the violation of the octet rule for the P=O double bond, resulting in the strong H2O2 binding of TPPO.

    In this research, copolymerization reaction of sulfonated dichlorobenzene and dichloro-Terminated aromatic oligomer was investigated for the preparation of sulfonated copolymers as proton conductive membranes. We found that a versatile synthetic method without using costly Ni(0) catalyst, where NiBr2 could be reduced to Ni(0) with Zn in situ during the copolymerization reaction, was applicable. The resulting copolymer had comparable molecular weight and proton conductivity to those of the copolymers prepared by the previous method using Ni(0).

    For higher performances of anion exchange membrane (AEM) fuel cells, understanding the phase-separated structures inside AEMs is essential, as well as those at the catalyst layer/membrane interfaces. The AEMs based on quaternized aromatic semi-block copolymers with different ion exchange capacities (IECs) were systematically investigated. With IECs of 1.23 and 1.95 mequiv g−1, the water uptakes at room temperature were 37% and 98%, and the anion conductivities 23.6 and 71.4 mS cm−1, respectively. The increases were not proportional to the IEC. Images obtained by transmission electron microscopy in vacuum were similar with both IEC values, but the development of a clear phase separation in humidified nitrogen was observed in the profiles only with 1.95 mequiv g−1obtained by small-angle X-ray scattering. At the temperature of 40 °C and the relative humidity (RH) of 30%, the average currents observed at the tip apex by current-sensing atomic force microscopy were &lt
    0.5 and 10 pA with 1.23 and 1.95 mequiv g−1, respectively, and those at 70% RH were 10 and 15 pA, respectively. The humidity gave a larger influence on the bulk structure with 1.95 mequiv g−1, whereas a larger influence on the surface conductivity with 1.23 mequiv g−1.

    A novel series of ammonium-containing copolymers (QPAF-4) were designed and synthesized as anion exchange membranes for alkaline fuel cell applications. The copolymers were prepared via a nickel promoted polycondensation reaction with high molecular weights (M-w = 72.7-276.4 kDa as precursors) and were composed of perfluoroalkylene and fluorenyl groups with pendant ammonium groups. The QPAF-4 membrane with optimized copolymer composition and ion exchange capacity exhibited high hydroxide ion conductivity (86.2 mS cm(-1) in water at 80 degrees C) and excellent mechanical properties (large elongation at break = 269%). A severe alkaline stability test of the QPAF-4 membranes in 1 M KOH at 80 degrees C for 1000 h and the post-test analyses of the H-1 NMR spectra, solubility, and mechanical properties revealed minor, or no, changes in the chemical structure and properties. Alkaline fuel cells using the QPAF-4 membrane were operated using hydrazine as a fuel and oxygen or air as oxidant to achieve the high maximum power density of 515 mW cm(-2). The durability of the membrane was also confirmed in the operating fuel cell at a constant current density for longer than 1000 h.

    Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are promising devices for clean power generation in automotive, stationary, and portable applications. Perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers (for example, Nafion) have been the benchmark PEMs; however, several problems, including high gas permeability, low thermal stability, high production cost, and environmental incompatibility, limit thewidespread dissemination of PEMFCs. It is believed that fluorine-free PEMs can potentially address all of these issues; however, none of these membranes have simultaneously met the criteria for both high performance (for example, proton conductivity) and durability (for example, mechanical and chemical stability). We present a polyphenylene-based PEM (SPP-QP) that fulfills the required properties for fuel cell applications. The newly designed PEM exhibits very high proton conductivity, excellent membrane flexibility, low gas permeability, and extremely high stability, with negligible degradation even under accelerated degradation conditions, which has never been achieved with existing fluorine-free PEMs. The polyphenylene PEM also exhibits reasonably high fuel cell performance, with excellent durability under practical conditions. This new PEM extends the limits of existing fluorine-free proton-conductive materials and will help to realize the next generation of PEMFCs via cost reduction as well as the performance improvement compared to the present PFSA-based PEMFC systems.

    The chemical durabilities of two proton-conducting hydrocarbon polymer electrolyte membranes, sulfonated benzophenone poly(arylene ether ketone) (SPK) semiblocic copolymer and sulfonated phenylene poly(arylene ether ketone) (SPP) semiblocic copolymer are evaluated under accelerated open circuit voltage (OCV) conditions in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). Post-test characterization of the membrane electrodes assemblies (MEAs) is carried out via gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. These results are compared with those of the initial MEAs. The SPP cell shows the highest OCV at 1000 h, and, in the post-test analysis, the SPP membrane retains up to 80% of the original molecular weight, based on the GPC results, and 90% of the hydrophilic structure, based on the NMR results. The hydrophilic structure of the SPP membrane is more stable after the durability evaluation than that of the SPK. From these results, the SPP membrane, with its simple hydrophilic structure, which does not include ketone groups, is seen to be significantly more resistant to radical attack. This structure leads to high chemical durability and thus impedes the chemical decomposition of the membrane. (C) 2017 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.

    The mechanical durability of sulfonated poly (phenylene) (SPP) membrane, used for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), is evaluated by the United States Department of Energy (USDOE) stress protocol involving wet-dry cycling, and the degradation is analyzed specifically by comparing with sulfonated poly(arylene ether ketone) (SPK) membrane. Initially, the SPP membrane exhibits 2-fold higher stiffness and 50% lower dimensional change ratio than the SPK membrane. In durability cycling, the SPP membrane lasts more than 20,000 wet-dry cycles without mechanical failure, which is more than 5-fold better durability than that for the SPK membrane. Higher mechanical strength and lower dimensional change can reduce both irreversible membrane deformation and mechanical stress attributed to the membrane swelling and shrinking. In post-test analyses, the SPP membrane is found to rupture in the peripheral region of the membrane electrode assemblies. The SPP membrane maintains only 10% of the elongation at break in the peripheral region but 50% in the electrode region, compared with the pristine condition. It is most likely that the membrane deteriorates in the peripheral region due to stress concentration by cell compression and membrane deformation during wet-dry cycling.

    We report synthesis and properties of a novel series of ammonium-functionalized perfluoroalkylene/aromatic copolymers. In particular, the effect of number and position of ammonium groups on the properties of the copolymer thin membranes was investigated. Fluorenylidene biphenylene groups were used as a scaffold for the ammonium groups. By controlling the chloromethylation reaction conditions, the ammonium groups could be introduced up to 4.0 per fluorenylidene biphenylene unit, resulting in the ion exchange capacity (IEC) of the resulting copolymers ranging from 1.0 to 1.8 meq g(-1). The copolymers provided bendable and transparent membranes by solution casting. The membranes exhibited phase-separated morphology based on the hydrophilic/hydrophobic differences in the copolymer components. A copolymer membrane with IEC = 1.0 meq g(-1) showed high hydroxide ion conductivity (ca. 70mS cm(-1)) at 80 degrees C in water and good alkaline stability in 1M KOH aq. over 1000 h at 60 degrees C. The membrane showed only minor degradation after the long-term alkaline stability test.

    For enhancing hydroxide ion conductivity, alkaline stability, and fuel cell performance of quaternaized aromatic/perfluoroaklyl copolymer (QPAF) membranes, ammonium groups attached to the polymer backbone have been investigated. The ammonium groups included dimethyl-butylamine (DMBA), dimethylhexylamine (DMHA), and 1,2dimethylimidazole (DMIm) groups in comparison to the trimethylammonium (TMA) group. DMBA turned to be the optimum ammonium group for QPAF membranes in terms of its high hydroxide ion conductivity based on well-connected and larger phase-separated morphology than that of QPAF-TMA with similar ion exchange capacity (IEC) value. QPAF-DMBA (IEC = 1.33 mequiv g(-1)) exhibited the highest hydroxide ion conductivity among the tested membranes up to 152 mS cm(-2) in water at 80 degrees C, which was 1.6 times higher than that of QPAFTMA (95 mS cm(-1)). In addition, QPAF-DMBA exhibited reasonable alkaline stability in 1 M KOH at 60 degrees C for 1000 h. The remaining conductivity was 44 mS cm(-1) (58%) for QPAF-DMBA, while that for QPAF-TMA was 1.0 mS cm(-1) (1%). QPAFDMBA (IEC = 1.09 mequiv g(-1)) exhibited excellent stability in 1 M KOH at 80 degrees C without change in the ion conductivity (22 mS cm(-1)) for 500 h. The post-test membranes exhibited a minor degradation in QPAF-DMBA as suggested by FT-IR spectra and DMA analyses. An H-2/O-2 fuel cell was operated with the QPAF-DMBA membrane to achieve the maximum power density of 167 mW cm(-2) at the current density of 0.42 A cm(-2), which was higher than that (138 mW cm(-2)) for QPAF-TMA membrane under the same operating conditions.

    The recent progress of our research on proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for fuel cell applications is reviewed. In particular, we focus on fluorine-free sulfonated aromatic polymers as alternatives to the benchmark perfluorosulfonic acid ionomer (e.g., Nafion) PEMs. Most fluorine-free sulfonated aromatic polymers require improved proton conductivity (at high temperatures and low humidity) and chemical and mechanical stability. To address these issues, a wide range of molecular structures and their sequences were investigated. First, the effect of molecular structure on the membrane properties of sulfonated multiblock copoly(arylene ether)s is discussed. We emphasize that phosphine oxide moieties might improve chemical stability; however, aromatic ether linkages in the hydrophilic block are not suitable because oxidative degradation and excess water swelling followed by mechanical failure is essentially inevitable. We then developed a novel polymer synthetic method, an intrapolymer Heck reaction, to ladderize aromatic ether linkages in the hydrophilic block. The ladderized rigid hydrophilic structure is an effective molecular design for balancing proton conductivity and mechanical stability. We then discuss two types of segmented copolymers based on the rigid hydrophilic structural design via a Ni-mediated coupling reaction; the hydrophilic structures are sulfonated phenylene and sulfonated benzophenone. We found that the traditional multiblock structure as well as any additional polar groups (e.g., ether, sulfone, ketone) in the hydrophilic sections are not necessary for improving the membrane properties that are important for fuel cell applications, such as proton conductivity and chemical and mechanical stability. The results indicate that fluorine-free aromatic PEMs are a potentially applicable class of ionomers for the next generation of proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

    Synthesis and properties of a series of ammonium-containing terpolymers (QPAF-3) as anion conductive membranes are reported. The QPAF-3s composed of perfluoroalkylene, alkylene, and ammonium-functionalized phenylene groups without heteroatom linkages in the main chain were synthesized via nickel-mediated polycondensation reaction, followed by chloromethylation, quaternization, and ion exchange reactions. Self-standing, bendable membranes were obtained by solution casting. The QPAF-3 membrane with optimized terpolymer composition and ion exchange capacity (1.46 meq g(-1)) showed high hydroxide ion conductivity (123 mS cm(-1) in water at 80 degrees C). The alkaline stability test in 1 M KOH for 1000 h at 80 degrees C and the posttest analysis with IR spectra and tensile strength suggested that ammoniumgroups were likely to be decomposed while the polymer main chain was chemically more robust. The presence of the alkylene groups in the terpolymers lowered solubility, glass transition temperature, and elongation property of the resulting membranes. (C) 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Anion conductivity at the surfaces of two anion-exchange membranes (AEMs), quaternized ammonium poly(arylene ether) multiblock copolymer(QPE-bl-3) and quaternized ammonium poly(arylene perfluoro-alkylene) copolymer (QPAF-1), synthesized by our group was investigated using current-sensing atomic force microscopy under purified air at various relative humidities. The anion-conducting spots were distributed inhomogeneously on the surface Of QPE-bl-3, and the total areas of the anion-conducting spots and the current at each spot increased with humidity. The anion-conductive areas on QPAF-1 were found on the entire surface even at a low humidity. Distribution of the anion-conducting spots on the membrane was found to directly affect the performance of an AEM fuel cell.
