Construction of high-density proton transport channels in phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole membranes using ionic liquids and metal-organic frameworks

Peng Wang et al.

Summary: Introducing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into phosphoric acid (PA) doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes to form proton transfer channels reduces dependence on PA for proton conductivity. However, excessive MOF loading leads to reduced mechanical properties and damaged membrane structure. Ionic liquids (ILs) can improve interface performance and are introduced into the branched poly[2,2'- (p-oxydiphenylene)-5,5' benzimidazole] (BOPBI) cross-linked by KH-560. The composite system of the cross-linked BOPBI (CBOPBI)@MOF with IL exhibits improved interface performance and acceptable mechanical properties.

Jian Lu et al.

Summary: The correlations between the molecular structures of Tro''ger's base-based polyimides (PIs) and physical properties including thermal conductivity and dielectric properties were investigated. The introduction of Tro''ger's base units effectively reduced the chain orientation and increased the fractional free volume, resulting in low dielectric constants and thermal conductivity values for the PI films. The incorporation of Tro''ger's base units also improved the molecular weights, toughness, and glass-transition temperature of the PIs.
