Embodiment 3

[0048] A three-electrode system was used to measure the hydrophobicity and oxygen barrier properties of the hydrophobic organic polymer electrolyte prepared in Example 2 respectively. The three-electrode system is prepared by the following method:

[0049] The hydrophobic organic polymer electrolyte is divided into two groups. One group is used to measure the hydrophobicity, which is saturated with water vapor at 22±2℃ and then transferred to a glass electrolytic cell. The other group is used to measure the oxygen barrier performance. After being saturated with oxygen at ±2℃, it is transferred to a glass electrolytic cell. In each electrolytic cell, a platinum ultramicrodisk electrode with a diameter of 25 microns is used as the working electrode, and a silver (Ag) wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm is used as the quasi-reference electrode. The Ti electrode with a diameter of 0.5 mm is used as the counter electrode. The three electrodes are placed in the hydrophobic organic polymer e...
