摘要
In this contribution novel acid-base polymer blend membranes are introduced. The membranes are composed of sulfonated poly(etheretherketone) sPEEK Victrex or poly(ethersulfone) sPSU Udel(R) as the acidic compounds, and of PSU Udel(R) diaminated at the ortho position to the sulfone bridge, or poly(4-vinylpyridine), poly(benzimidazole) PBI CELAZOLE(R), or poly(ethyleneimine) PEI (Aldrich) as the basic compounds, The membranes showed good proton conductivities at ion-exchange capacities IEC of 1 (IEC = meg SO3H/g dry membrane), and they showed excellent thermal stabilities (decomposition temperatures >270 degrees C). Two of the membranes were tested in a H-2 membrane fuel cell and showed good performance. The specific interaction of the SO3H groups and of the basic N groups was investigated via FTIR for the sulfonated PSU/diaminated PSU and for the sulfonated PSU/poly(4-vinylpyridine) (Pyr) blend. It could be proved that in the dry membranes polysalt groups exist formed by the following acid-base reaction: PSU-SO3H + H2N-PSU --> [PSU-SO3](-) (+)[H3N-PSU], and PSU-SO3H + P --> [PSU-SO3](-) (+)[H-Pyr].
