A series of quaternary ammonium-tethered poly(isatin biphenylene)s (PIBs) were prepared devoid of alkaline labile aryl ether bonds via superacid-catalyzed polymerization and explored as highly alkaline stable backbones of anion exchange membranes (AEMs).

A class of phenolphthalein anilide (PA)-based poly(ether sulfone) multiblock copolymers containing pendant quaternary ammonium (QA) and imidazolium (IM) groups were synthesized and evaluated as anion exchange membrane (AEM) materials. The AEMs were flexible and mechanically strong with good thermal stability. The ionomeric multiblock copolymer AEMs exhibited well-defined hydrophobic/hydrophilic phase-separated morphology in small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy. The distinct nanophase separated membrane morphology in the AEMs resulted in higher conductivity (IECw = 1.3–1.5 mequiv./g, σ(OH−) = 30–38 mS/cm at 20 °C), lower water uptake and swelling. Finally, the membranes were compared in terms of microbial fuel cell performances with the commercial cation and anion exchange membranes. The membranes showed a maximum power density of ~310 mW/m2 (at 0.82 A/m2); 1.7 and 2.8 times higher than the Nafion 117 and FAB-PK-130 membranes, respectively. These results demonstrated that the synthesized AEMs were superior to Nafion 117 and FAB-PK-130 membranes.

An efficient and effective process for the production of high-performance anion exchange membranes (AEMs) is necessary for the commercial application of fuel cells. Therefore, in this study, quaternized poly vinylbenzyl chloride (QVBC) and polysulfone were composited with glycidyltrimethylammonium-chloride-quaternized chitosan (QCS) at different ratios (viz., 1 wt %, 5 wt %, and 10 wt %). The structure and morphology of the membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Further, the water uptake, swelling ratio, and ionic conductivities of the composite membrane at different wt % of QCS were evaluated. The membrane with 5% QCS exhibited an ionic conductivity of 49.6 mS/cm and 130 mS/cm at 25 °C and 70 °C, respectively.

GE membrane based Electrodialysis Reversal (EDR) systems offer attractive characteristics such as higher water recovery, increased resistance to scaling and fouling, and membrane stability in oxidative environments. Research activity at GE Water & Process Technologies, have extended these capabilities to include high pH environments, through the development of a new high performance anion exchange membrane that tolerates aggressive caustic cleaning conditions. This will enable the expanded application of EDR systems in markets that are limited by the currently practiced cleaning-in-place procedures.
