ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE 2023; 10:230843. [PMID: 38026010 PMCID: PMC10645128 DOI: 10.1098/rsos.230843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
Chitosan (CS)-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) have gained significant attention in fuel cell applications owing to their numerous benefits, such as environmental friendliness, flexibility for structural alteration, and improved mechanical, thermal and chemical durability. This study aims to enhance the cell performance of CS-based AEMs by addressing key factors including mechanical stability, ionic conductivity, water absorption and expansion rate. While previous reviews have predominantly focused on CS as a proton-conducting membrane, the present mini-review highlights the advancements of CS-based AEMs. Furthermore, the study investigates the stability of cationic head groups grafted to CS through simulations. Understanding the chemical properties of CS, including the behaviour of grafted head groups, provides valuable insights into the membrane's overall stability and performance. Additionally, the study mentions the potential of modern cellulose membranes for alkaline environments as promising biopolymers. While the primary focus is on CS-based AEMs, the inclusion of cellulose membranes underscores the broader exploration of biopolymer materials for fuel cell applications.

Abstract
Several investigations have indicated that proton conduction and hydration properties of acidic ionomers differ from those of membranes. However, relations between the OH- conductivity and water uptake in thin film forms of anion exchange membranes have not been reported yet. For this study, new in situ measurements were established to elucidate the OH- conductivity and water uptake without allowing any influence of CO2 from the air. Poly[(9,9-bis(6'-(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-hexyl)-9H-fluorene)-alt-(1,4-benzene)], denoted as PFB+ , was synthesized as a model ionomer. The highest OH- conductivity of 273 nm-thick PFB+ film was 5.3×10-2 S cm-1 at 25 °C under 95 % relative humidity (RH), which is comparable to the reported OH- conductivity of PFB+ membrane. Reduced OH- conductivity was found in the thinner film at 95 % RH. The decreased OH- conductivity is explainable by the reduced number of water molecules contained in the thinner film. The OH- conductivity was reduced only slightly under the same water uptake.
