説明:
(abstract)We prepared sulfonated octaphenyl polyhedral silsesquioxane (SPOSS) with its structure intact by using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) at 40 °C. We discussed the effects of sulfonation using either chlorosulfonic acid (ClSO3H) and H2SO4 on SPOSS structure and its incorporation into crosslinked sulfonated olyphenylsulfone (CSPPSU) composite polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM). An in-depth structural characterization using 29Si NMR and FTIR spectroscopies, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and TGA show that phenyl loss occurred in SPOSS prepared using ClSO3H, resulting in a low ion exchange capacity (IEC) of 1.7 meq/g and a sulfonation degree (DS) of 1.9. In contrast, the phenyl remained intact in the SPOSS prepared using H2SO4. Well-dispersed 348-nm-SPOSS-H2SO4 was found to have an IEC of 2.4 meq/g and DS of 3.1. The resultant hybrid PEM of CSPPSU/SPOSS using SPOSSH2SO4 had improved swelling, mechanical and chemical strength, and conductivity. 1 wt% SPOSS-H2SO4 loading had the highest conductivity (13.7 mS/cm) at 120 °C with 40 % RH. This shows the importance of the SPOSS nanocomposite structure in dispersions in the SPPSU polymer matrix and its performance as PEM. We report on an improved direct sulfonation process at a milder condition but sulfonation yield was improved.
