Problems solved by technology

At present, more researches are on phosphoric acid (PA) doped PBI membranes. A high doping level will increase the proton conductivity of PBI membranes, but problems such as low mechanical strength and high swelling caused by high doping seriously restrict PA doping. Widespread commercialization of PBI membranes

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a covalent cross-linking polybenzimidazole high-temperature proton exchange membrane. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out covalent cross-linking by taking polybenzimidazole resin as a raw material and taking bivariate or multivariate halides and epoxy compounds as cross-linking agents, and forming the membrane through a solvent volatilization method. The covalent cross-linking polybenzimidazole high-temperature proton exchange membrane prepared by utilizing the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of better dimensional stability, thermodynamic stability and chemical stability, high phosphoric acid doping level and higher proton conducting property and can be used within a range of 20-200 DEG C. The preparation process disclosed by the invention is simple and low in raw material cost; and the prepared cross-linking proton exchange membrane has potential of being applied to a high-temperature fuel cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of proton exchange membranes for high-temperature fuel cells, in particular to a preparation method of novel cross-linked polybenzimidazole membranes. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are power generating devices that directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. Due to the characteristics of high efficiency, fast start-up and low pollution, the development of PEMFCs has attracted much attention since the end of the nineteenth century. The proton exchange membrane is an important part of the membrane electrode of the fuel cell, and has the following main functions: (1) as a medium for proton transfer, (2) as a barrier to separate reactant gases, (3) as a carrier for cell catalysts. At present, the commercialized perfluorosulfonic acid membrane (PFSA), such as the Nafion membrane produced by DuPont, exhibits high prot...
