Component Content

Cross-linked organiс-inorganic sulfo-containing membranes of various compositions based on acrylic monomers (acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, 3-sulfopropylacrylate potassium salt, ethylene glycol diacrylate) and sol-gel systems of tetraethoxysilane have been developed. Synthesis of the polymer matrix was carried out by UV-initiated polymerization of the monomer mixture and the inorganic component was formed in situ while conducting the sol-gel process of the precursor. FTIR, SEM, EDS, DMA, impedance spectroscopy were used to characterize the synthesized materials. The influence of inorganic component content on the properties of the membranes was investigated. DMA results show that an increase in silica content leads to a decrease in packing density and an increase in structural heterogeneity in sulfo-containing polyacrylate/silica membranes. The highest values of proton conductivity 1.12 ꞏ 10−2 Sm/cm at 60 °C were found in membranes containing 3 wt.%. of the added sol-gel system. Further increase of silica content does not increase the proton conductivity of the membranes. The proton transfer activation energies in the membranes were calculated from the temperature dependence of proton conductivity. The obtained cross-linked sulfo-containing organic-inorganic materials can be used for the development of proton-conducting membranes for fuel cells.

Based on the analysis of the features of electroosmotic processes that are implemented in proton-conducting membranes, the possibility of fractioning hydrogen isotopes in electrolytes formed using tritiated water (HTO) is estimated. The interaction of the solution with the membranes in their channels leads to polarization and partial dissociation of the electrolyte molecules. In water molecules, when protium is replaced by a heavy isotope of hydrogen, the energy of breaking of hydrogen bonds increases and the process of their dissociation proceeds predominantly according to the scheme: HTO ↔ H+ + TO—. A part of the released protons can join water molecules to form the H3O+ ion. H3O+ and TO— ions are more mobile than other singly charged ions. The main characteristic that determines the suitability of electroosmotic membranes to the fractionation of hydrogen isotopes is proton conductivity. The released protons have anomalously high mobility due to their small size, tunnel and relay movement through hydrogen bonds between adjacent polar groups in the channels of the proton-conducting membranes. To ensure high proton conductivity in the pores and channels of the membranes, modifying substances are fixed, which contain the groups: –ОН- , –NH2, –NH, –SH, –COOH, –SO3H, acid salts and oxides, containing surface proton-conducting groups. To create proton-conducting membranes, it is possible to use surface-modified β-alumina (β-Al2O3(H3O+)) and protonated (H3O+) montmorillonite with ionic conductivity (5х103 – 4х104 Ohm х cm–1). The most effective are surface modifiers with negatively charged sulfonic groups. The imposition of an external electric field leads to the movement of ions in the electrolyte, which leads to a redistribution of the isotope ratio in the near-anode and cathode spaces.
