Abstract

- Well-designed block copolymers with a controlled co-continuous microphase morphology can be applied as efficient anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for fuel cells and water electrolyzers. In the present work, we have prepared and studied a series of BAB triblock copolymers consisting of a central cationic polyfluorene A block with flanking hydrophobic polystyrene B blocks, where the fluorene units of the A block carried double pairs of piperidinium cations via flexible hexyl spacer chains. First, a polyfluorene tethered with bromohexyl chains was prepared by superacid-mediated polyhydroxyalkylation, and then modified to produce a bi-directional macroinitiator for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Next, ATRP of styrene was carried out to form BAB triblock copolymers with different lengths of the B blocks. Finally, the polyfluorene block was densely functionalized with piperidinium cations by Menshutkin reactions. Small angle X-ray scattering of block copolymer AEMs indicated the presence of both block copolymer phase domains (d~15 nm) and ionic clusters (d~6 nm). Atomic force microscopy showed clearly phase-separated morphologies with seemingly well-connected hydrophilic nanophase domains for ion transport. The AEMs reached hydroxide conductivities up to 161 mS cm-1 at 80 ºC. Moreover, the AEMs decomposed only above 250 °C and possessed excellent alkaline stability with no degradation detected by 1H NMR analysis after storage in 2 M aq. NaOH, at 90 °C during 672 h. Notably, the current block copolymer AEMs showed higher alkaline stability and hydroxide conductivity compared to AEMs based on corresponding statistical copolymers.
