要旨

Novel poly(tri-sulfonated phenylene)-block-poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymers (PTSP-b-PAESs) were synthesized by Ni(0)-catalyzed copolymerization of 2,5-dichloro-3′-sulfo-4′-((2,4-disulfo)phenoxy)-benzophenone and chlorobenzophenone-endcapped oligo(arylene ether sulfone). Their physical properties, morphology and polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) performance were investigated compared to those of poly(mono-sulfonated phenylene)-block-poly(arylene ether sulfone) and the corresponding random copolymers. They had a low ion exchange capacity (IEC) of 1.1–1.2 meq. g−1 and showed very low water uptake and in-plane dimensional change in water. They exhibited a more well-defined microphase-separated structure composed of hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains, where the hydrophilic domains were well-connected to each other to form the channels for proton conduction, than the mono-sulfonated one. This led to the relatively high proton conductivity under low relative humidities. The corresponding random copolymers exhibited a homogeneous morphology and much lower proton conductivity in spite of a high IEC of 2.0–2.1 meq. g−1. Even under the low humidification of 30% RH at 90 °C and 0.2 MPa, they exhibited high PEFC performance and durability; for example, a cell voltage of 0.69 V at a load current density of 0.5 A cm−2 and a maximum output of 0.73 W cm−2, which was comparable to that of the mono-sulfonated one with a much higher IEC of 1.8 meq. g−1 and much higher than those of the corresponding random copolymers. PTSP-b-PAESs have high potential as polymer electrolyte membranes for fuel cell applications.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry A are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Artificial photosynthesis Batteries Carbon dioxide conversion Catalysis Fuel cells Gas capture/separation/storage Green/sustainable materials Hydrogen generation Hydrogen storage Photocatalysis Photovoltaics Self-cleaning materials Self-healing materials Sensors Supercapacitors Thermoelectrics Water splitting Water treatment
