Embodiment 1

[0062] Synthesis of Sulfonated Poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)

[0063] direct synthesis

[0064] First, polyphosphoric acid (PPA) was added to the flask and heated to 100°C under a dry nitrogen atmosphere, then hydrazine sulfate salt (HS, >99%, Aldrich) was added to the polyphosphoric acid, homogenized by stirring and heating the reaction medium qualitative.

[0065] After reaching the reaction temperature, Dicarboxyldiazid 4,4'-diphenyl ether, DPE (99%, Aldrich) was added to the flask. The molar dilution ratio (PPA / HS) and molar monomer ratio (HS / DPE) were kept constant at 10 or 1.2. The molar dilution ratio (PPA / HS) and molar monomer ratio (HS / DPE) were chosen based on previous studies to optimize poly(ether-1,3,4-oxadiazole) synthesis with the aid of statistical experimental design (Gomes et al., 2001, supra).

[0066] After 6 hours of reaction of DPE and HS, the reaction medium was added to water containing 5% w / v sodium hydroxide (99%, Vetec) to allow precipitation of the pol...

[0084] Water Absorption and Oxidation Stability

[0085] The film was dried at 80° C. in vacuum for 24 hours before measurement. After measuring the weight of the dried film, the samples were immersed in deionized water at 25°C and 60°C for 24 hours.

[0086] Before measuring the weight of the hydrated membrane, wipe off the water from the surface of the membrane with a paper towel. Water absorption is calculated according to the following formula:

[0087] Water absorption (weight%) = (m 湿 -m 干燥 ) / m 干燥 x100,

[0088] where m 湿 and m 干燥 are the dry and hydrated film weights.

[0089] The oxidative stability of the membrane was investigated, wherein the membrane was subjected to Fenton's reagent (containing 2ppm FeSO 4 3% H 2 o 2 ) at 80°C for 1 hour. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0100] Measurement of proton conductivity

[0101] Proton conductivity by frequency between 10 and 10 6 Impedance spectra between Hz are measured with signal amplitudes ≤ 100 mV and determined from the impedance modulus at the high frequency side where the phase shift disappears. The proton conductivity of the samples was measured at 80°C and 15% to 100% relative humidity. Impedance measurements were performed on stacks of up to 5 films, where each stack had a similar overall thickness of about 500 μm. The relative humidity is controlled by blowing nitrogen through the water, heating the water at a suitable temperature between 20°C and 80°C.

[0102] image 3 The proton conductivity of sulfonated poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole) membranes is plotted as a function of temperature. The film has S / C = 0.124, measured at 80°C and 15% to 100% relative humidity.

[0103] image 3 It was shown that a high proton conductivity is achieved, which can be explained inter alia by the structure ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing sulfonic poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)polymer, also relates to the sulfonic poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)polymer used for fuel cell membranes, fuel cells and a method for producing the fuel cell. The method includes steps: mixing hydrazine sulfate with one or more dicarboxylic acids or derivatives thereof in polyphosphoric acid to prepare a solution, heating the solution in inert atmosphere, settling the polymer in an alkali solution.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process for preparing sulfonated poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole) polymers. The invention also relates to sulfonated poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole) polymers, membranes for fuel cells, fuel cells and methods for preparing fuel cells. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells require proton-conducting membranes. Such a membrane is, for example, a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM). A known PEM based on a perfluorocarbon polymer electrolyte membrane is the Nafion membrane developed by DuPont (JP 112 04 119 A). [0003] There are two types of PEM fuel cells under development, low temperature cells, which operate at temperatures up to about 90°C, and high temperature cells, which operate at temperatures up to about 180°C. [0004] Nafion membranes do not have sufficient heat resistance so that the membranes cannot be used at temperatures exceeding 80° C. (see also US 4 330 654). Low temperature fuel cells are sensitive to carbon monoxide...
