Anion exchange membranes based on poly(aryl ether oxadiazole)s (FPAEO) were prepared by quaternization of bromomethylated FPAEO with N-methyl imidazole. The structures of the obtained polymers were characterized and confirmed with 1H-NMR measurement. The physical and electrochemical properties of anion exchange membranes were also studied. The conductivity of FPAEO-xMIM membranes were almost higher than 10−2 S/cm at room temperature. In addition, TGA revealed that the AEMs based on imidazolium salts have excellent thermal stability. The experimental results suggested that the obtained AEMs may be potential membranes for anion exchange membrane fuel cells

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.
