ArticlePoly (ether ether ketone ketone) based imidazolium as anion exchange membranes for alkaline fuel cells☆

An imidazolium functionalized poly (ether ether ketone ketone) (PEEKK-DImOH) anion exchange membrane (AEM) readily soluble in certain low-boiling-point solvents (isopropanol) is prepared. The solubility results are consistent with the results of molecular dynamics simulations. By varying the chloromethylation reaction temperature or concentrated sulfuric acid concentration of PEEKK, the degrees of chloromethylation of PEEKK are changed from 54% to 92%, the corresponding PEEKK-DImOH AEMs with the ion exchange capacities (IECs) of 1.14–1.65 mmol·g− 1. The PEEKK-DImOH 92% AEM shows high hydroxide conductivity (31 mS·cm− 1), suitable water uptake (94%) and acceptable swelling ratio (39%) at 60 °C. In addition, the PEEKK-DImOH AEMs possess good thermal and alkaline stability. The maximum power density (46.16 mW·cm− 2) of fuel cell prepared with PEEKK-DImOH 92% AEM as exchange membrane and ionomer is much higher than that with commercial AHA membranes. All the above results indicate that the PEEKK used in this study is a promising AEM matrix material for alkaline fuel cells.
