Abstract

The invention relates to a polymer microsphere with redox activity, which is a polyhydroquinone microsphere with the size of 0.3-5mum. The polyhydroquinone microsphere is prepared in such a way of introducing a macromolecular template which is polyethylene glycol or polyvinyl alcohol to the chemical oxidative polymerization system of hydroquinone or benzoquinone, carrying out centrifugal separation on polymerized suspension liquid, washing and drying. The dried polyhydroquinone microsphere can be dispersed in water once again, and with silver / silver chloride as a reference electrode, a microsphere dispersion cast film has the reduction peak potential of 0.04-0.26V and the oxidation peak potential of 0.30-0.60 V. The method can be used to prepare the polyhydroquinone microsphere at 10-90 DEG C, adopts a simple device, is convenient to operate, has low cost and good repeatability and is suitable for preparing the polyhydroquinone microsphere with redox activity on a large scale. The prepared polyhydroquinone microsphere has wide application prospects in the fields of anti-oxidants, anti-corrosion coatings, bio-sensors and fuel cells and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of functional materials, and relates to a redox active polyhydroquinone microsphere with a controllable particle size and a preparation method capable of large-scale production. Background technique [0002] Redox polymers are polymers with redox active centers, and the active functional groups can be ferrocene, coordination metal ions, viologen, quinone, phenol, fullvalene, tetracyano-p-dimethylbenzophenone and organic dyes etc. The main chain redox polymer is generally a conjugated polymer, which has special optical, electrical, and magnetic properties due to the existence of highly delocalized Π bonds. It is used in biofuel cells, sensors, electromagnetic shielding materials, and anti-corrosion coatings. The field has great application prospects. Polyhydroquinone (PHQ) is a kind of redox polymer whose main chain is completely composed of quinone and hydroquinone. It maintains the properties of quinone a...
