Quaternized Polynorbornene Random Copolymers for Fuel Cell Devices

Abstract: Quaternized polymers are critical components for various energy devices. Vinyl-addition polynorbornenes provide high mechanical strength, high ion conductivity, and chemical stability in a wide range of pH environments due to the all-C–C bond backbone. Herein, we present the synthesis of a series of quaternized polynorbornene random copolymers via vinyl addition polymerization and elucidate the impact of polymer composition on their properties. The quaternary ammonium alkyl tether length and the ratio of n-hex… Show more

“…10,16 The conductivity of the 67:33 PNB-Hex-NMe 3 [OH] AEM reported here is reasonably close to the conductivity of a similar polymer reported by Saito, Kim, and co-workers. 10 In that work, they synthesized a NB-5-Hex, norbornene, and 5-bromopropylnorbornene terpolymer, which was converted into a trimethylammonium-based AEM (σ 80°C = 68 mS/cm). 10 The conductivity of the PNB-Hex-NMe 3 [OH] copolymers described here are roughly half compared to the random copolymers reported by Kohl and co-workers which is not surprising since the IEC's of the copolymers reported here are lower (1.38−2.19 mmol/g).…”

“…Under H 2 /O 2 conditions, the open circuit voltage of the cell reached >1.0 V. The peak power density was 1.35 W cm –2 . The HFR of the cell was ∼0.065 Ω cm 2 , slightly higher than the cell using state-of-the-art AEMs (0.04 Ω cm 2 ) Figure B shows the AEM water electrolyzer performance of PDPC-6QA (membrane thickness = 35 μm under pure water-fed conditions.…”

“…Saito and co‐workers prepared polynorbornene‐based thin film electrodes by utilizing norbornene and alkyl bromonorbornene to improve the solubility of the ionomer. [ 215 ] The soluble ionomer (IEC = 2.5 meq. g −1 ) has a balanced hydroxide conductivity (137 mS cm −1 at 80 °C), moderate water uptake (95% at 80 °C), enabling high AEMFC (Figure 13c) and AEMWE performance.…”
