“…A variety of AEM backbones have been studied and developed so far, such as polystyrene [ 22 , 23 ], poly-phenylene oxide (PPO) [ 24 , 25 ], polysulfone [ 26 ] or fluorinated polymers [ 27 , 28 , 29 ], poly-ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) [ 30 ], polyetherimide (PEI) [ 31 ], polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) [ 32 ], poly-ether-ether ketone [ 33 ], poly(arylene ether ketone) [ 34 ], and poly-carbazole [ 35 ]. As well, the most extensively investigated functional groups are: –NH 3 + , –RNH 2 + , –R 2 NH + , =R 2 N 2+ , –R 3 P + , –R 2 S + , quaternary ammonium salts (QA) [ 36 , 37 ], and tertiary amines (e.g., BTMA) [ 31 , 32 ].…”

Anion exchange membranes (AEM) have gained attention recently as a promising candidate for low-cost water electrolysis systems to produce hydrogen, linked with renewable energy resources as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. The development of potential materials for producing and analyzing AEM is an imperative step towards commercialization and plays a competitive role in the hydrogen production industry. In this article, we developed a composite anion exchange membrane prepared by activating a commercial support structure (Celgard® 3401) with a commercially available functional group (Fumion® FAA-3) through a phase-inversion process. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis demonstrated the phase-inversion procedure as an effective methodology. Furthermore, the cell performance test result (with Celgard/Fumion) was very promising and even better in comparison with a commercial membrane commonly applied in alkaline electrolysis (Fumasep). We also developed a testing procedure for membrane performance evaluation during electrolysis which is very critical considering the effect of CO2 absorption on membrane conductivity.

“…The conductivity of AEMs is very reliant on the WU and IEC of the AEMs. The high hydrophilicity of the anion exchange membranes is resulted from the high density of cation charge groups within the AEMs, which provide sufficient anionic conductivity (Ayaz et al, 2022). Figure 8 exhibits the hydroxide conductivity of eQPVA-x AEMs.…”

The anion exchange membrane is one of the core components that play a crucial and inseparable role in alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cells. Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) were prepared from quaternary ammonium poly(vinyl alcohol) (QPVA) by an electrospinning method. QPVA was used both as material for electrospun fiber mats and as filler for the inter-fiber void matrix. The objective of this work is to investigate the influence of the inter-fibers void matrix filler concentration on the properties and performance of eQPVA-x AEMs. FTIR spectra were used to identify the chemical structures of the AEMs. The primary functional groups of PVA and quaternary ammonium-based ion conducting cation were detected. The surface morphology of QPVA nanofiber mats and eQPVA-x AEMs was observed using SEM. Electrospun nanofiber structures of QPVA with an average size of 100.96 nm were observed in SEM pictures. The ion exchange capacity, swelling properties, water uptake, and OH-ions conductivity were determined to evaluate the performance of eQPVA-x AEMs. By incorporating the QPVA matrix of 5 wt.% concentration, the eQPVA-5.0 AEMs attained the highest ion exchange capacity, water uptake, swelling properties, and OH− conductivity of 0.82 mmol g−1, 25.5%, 19.9%, and 2.26 m×s cm−1, respectively. Electrospun QPVA AEMs have the potential to accelerate the development of alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cells.

“…43 Subsequently, several numbers of fluorinated sulfonated polytriazoles with different degrees of sulfonation (DS) were developed by Banerjee et al, which show sufficient proton conductivity and high mechanical, chemical, and thermal stabilities. [35][36][37][38][39]44,45 Based on the admirable performance of the fluorinated sulfonated polytriazoles, a new series of semifluorinated sulfonated polytriazoles with different DS has been synthesized and characterized. In this context, 1,4-bis(4-azido-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)benzene (BATFB), a novel trifluoromethyl substituted diazide monomer, was synthesized.…”

The aromatic hydrocarbon‐based sulfonated polytriazoles have a reputation as a high‐performing polymer because of their excellent properties. This work demonstrates the synthesis of a new semi‐fluorinated diazide monomer, that is, 1,4‐bis(4‐azido‐2‐(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)benzene (BATFB), and exploiting this compound a series of aromatic hydrocarbon‐based semi‐fluorinated sulfonated polytriazoles (BABPSSH‐60, −70, −80, −90) was synthesized utilizing the Cu(I)‐induced “click” cycloaddition polymerization reaction along with the sulfonated diazide monomer, 4,4′‐diazido‐2,2′‐stilbenesulfonic acid disodium salt tetrahydrate (DASSA) and the terminal dialkyne monomer, 4,4′‐(propane‐2,2′‐diyl)bis((prop‐2‐ynyloxy)benzene) (BPAAL). The structural analysis of those copolymers was completed by the FTIR and the NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopic methods. Further, the degree of sulfonation (DS) and the ion exchange capacity (IEC) values of the copolymers were confirmed using the 1H NMR spectrums. They are readily soluble in respective solvents, and a light yellowish membrane was obtained using the solution casting procedure. These membranes demonstrated admissible mechanical and thermal stabilities, balanced water absorption properties, and reasonable chemical stability. The surface phase (SAXS, AFM) and bulk phase (TEM) morphological analysis proved the well‐separated phase morphology. The BABPSSH‐90 displayed a proton conductivity of 104 mS cm−1 at 90.
