The synthesis and ionic characteristic of hydroxide conductive polymer membrane for solid alkaline fuel cell

Anion exchange membrane is one of the most important parts of solid alkaline fuel cell. In this study the anion exchange membrane were prepared via chloromethylation, amination andalkalization. For this membrane trimethylamine and 1,6-tetra hexanediamine were used as amination agents that provided anion exchange sites on polysulfone backbone. The anion exchange membrane characterizations were performed with the hydroxide conductivity at different temperatures, ion exchange capacity and activation energy for hydroxide ion transport.
