Transport of Neutral and Charged Solutes in Imidazolium-Functionalized Poly(phenylene oxide) Membranes for Artificial Photosynthesis

Journal Article Dischinger, Sarah M. ; Gupta, Shubham ; Carter, Blaine M. ; ... - Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research

Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) play an essential role in artificial photosynthesis devices, which photoelectrochemically convert CO₂ and water into useful products. AEMs allow the transport of charge carriers between electrodes while minimizing the transport of CO₂ reduction products (e.g., ethanol). Fundamental transport studies in AEMs relevant to artificial photosynthesis are uncommon. Herein, we describe the preparation of an imidazolium-functionalized poly(phenylene oxide) membrane. Membrane transport properties were controlled by systematic variation of the degree of imidazolium functionalization, which induced changes in the membrane water volume fraction. Ethanol permeability and ionic conductivity increased with the membrane water volume fraction. Consequently, the membranesmore »« less

Multicomponent transport of alcohols in an anion exchange membrane measured by in-situ ATR FTIR spectroscopy

Journal Article Carter, Blaine M. ; Dobyns, Breanna M. ; Beckingham, Bryan S. ; ... - Polymer

Multicomponent transport through membranes is encountered in many applications, including photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction devices that convert CO2 into alcohols. We report the use of in-situ ATR FTIR spectroscopy to quantify the permeability of Selemion AMV, a commonly used anion exchange membrane, to mixtures of alcohols. An in-situ ATR FTIR spectrophotometer probe inserted into a standard diffusion cell enabled straightforward measurement of membrane permeability in multicomponent transport experiments without the need to periodically remove aliquots from the diffusion cell. The solubilities of alcohols in Selemion AMV were measured using a standard sorption/desorption technique. The solution-diffusion model was used to calculate alcoholmore »« less

ABSTRACT The selective transport of ions has crucial importance in biological systems as well as modern‐day energy devices, such as batteries and fuel cells, and water purification membranes. Control over ion movement can be exerted by ligation, ion channel dimensions, solvation, and electrostatic interactions. Polyelectrolyte hydrogels can provide aligned pathways for counter ion transport but lack mechanical integrity, while polyelectrolyte membranes typically suffer from the absence of an ion transport channel network. To develop polymer membranes for improved ion transport, we present the design of a novel material that combines the advantages of aligned pathways found in polyelectrolyte hydrogel andmore »« less

Electrochemical Measurement of Water Transport Numbers in Anion-Exchange Membranes

Journal Article Petrovick, John G. ; Kushner, Douglas I. ; Goyal, Priyamvada ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Abstract Anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) are a possible replacement for perfluorosulfonic-acid membranes in energy-conversion devices, primarily due to the hydroxide mobile ion allowing the devices to operate in alkaline conditions with less expensive electrocatalysts. However, the transport properties of AEMs remain understudied, especially electro-osmosis. In this work, an electrochemical technique, where the open-circuit voltage is measured between two ends of a membrane maintained at different relative humidities, is used to determine the water transport number of various ionomers, including Versogen and Sustainion AEMs and Nafion cation-exchange membrane (CEM), as a function of water content and temperature. In addition, the CEMs andmore »« less

Crosslinked metallo-polyelectrolytes with enhanced flexibility and dimensional stability for anion-exchange membranes

Journal Article Zhu, Tianyu ; Tang, Chuanbing - Polymer Chemistry

High-performing anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) have attracted tremendous interest for applications in emerging energy storage and conversion devices. In this work, we present a strategy for the synthesis of crosslinked metallo-polyelectrolytes as mechanically flexible, dimensionally stable and ionically conductive AEMs. The water uptake and swelling ratio are suppressed remarkably by introducing a crosslinked polymeric network. The as-prepared membranes also exhibit excellent thermal stability. The phase-separated morphology allows rapid ion-transport with low water uptake at various temperatures. Specifically, a conductivity of 53.3 mS cm^-1 at 80 °C was achieved with an ion exchange capacity of 1.07 mmol g^-1 and a low swellingmore » ratio of 13%.« less
