Poly(fluorenyl terphenyl piperidinium) with Sulfonated Side Chains for the Application of High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membranes

“…As illustrated in Figure b, the elongation at break of the membranes increased from 13.4–21.1 to 26.1–31.3% after PA doping owing to the plasticization of PA . Although the mechanical properties of the membranes decreased after PA doping, they were comparable with that of other PEMs under similar conditions, , and the obtained PEMs with PA doping show good perspectives for HT-PEMFCs application.…”

“…Although the power density of cells is not outstanding, compared with recent work, the present work highlights the improvements on the conductivity and cell performance of the PEMs by introducing propanesulfonic acid side chains. In addition, the fabrication of PEMFCs is often complex because of many variables, such as PEMs, temperature, catalyst, and pressure . Therefore, the preparation techniques of PEMs and PEMFCs should be further improved in our future work.…”

The effect of grafted alkyl side chains on the properties of poly(terphenyl piperidinium) based high temperature proton exchange membranes

“…Additionally, PA molecules not only play a role in proton conduction, but also bring in plasticization and reduce the interaction between polymer chains. 8,26 Therefore, the trade-off between mechanical stability and conductivity needs to be considered for the PA doped HT-PEMs. Fig.…”

Ammonium fluoride additive-modified interphase chemistry stabilizes zinc anodes in aqueous electrolytes

“…As the global demand for energy storage systems soars, more reliable and more sustainable battery technologies are of great promise for building a carbon-neutral society. [1][2][3] Although sodiumion batteries are emerging as a promising complementarity to the lithium-ion battery in light of the abundant Na resources and lower costs, 4,5 the common flammability issue of organic electrolytes is still hard to solve. 6 Alternatively, aqueous zinc-metal batteries have attracted much attention because of their intrinsic safety and environmental benignity.…”
