Descripción

Descripción general

Our polyaromatic sulfonic acid powder is a high-performance sulfonated aromatic polymer, featuring a degree of sulfonation of 70%. This proton conducting polymer is characterized by the presence of sulfonic acid groups attached to its aromatic backbone. The 70% degree of sulfonation imparts several unique properties to membranes made from it, including higher ionic conductivity and greater water uptake, without significantly compromising their mechanical properties such as breaking strength or tensile modulus. This balance of properties makes our polyaromatic sulfonic acid powder highly versatile and valuable in a wide range of applications that require both performance and durability.

Aplicación

One of the primary applications of sulfonated aromatic polymers is in proton exchange membranes (PEMs), a critical component in fuel cells. Their high proton conductivity facilitates efficient transport of protons across the membrane, enabling the electrochemical reactions within the fuel cell to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Beyond fuel cells, these polymers are utilized in redox flow batteries, contributing to the performance and longevity of these energy storage systems due to their chemical stability and proton conductivity.
Moreover, sulfonated aromatic polymers are employed in water treatment membranes for processes like reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, and ultrafiltration. Their chemical resistance allows them to withstand harsh environments while maintaining high water permeability, effectively separating and purifying water. These polymers are also explored for their potential in gas separation membranes, where they can selectively separate gases for various industrial processes. Continued research and development in this area promise further advancements and innovations in fuel cells, energy storage, water treatment, and gas separation.
