Abstract
We investigate PPO quaternized with different azoles (five-membered heterocyclic compounds) with a different odd number of Nitrogen atoms (1N-pyrrole, 3N-1,2,3-triazole, and 5N-pentazole) to form pyrrolium-PPO(py-PPO), 1,2,3,-triazolium-PPO(tri-PPO) and pentazolium-PPO(pen-PPO) AEMs, using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to compare and evaluate their OH- transport via the vehicular mechanism. OH- diffusivity at the hydration level λ = 12 is 3.10 × 10-10 m2/s, 1.92 × 10-10 m2/s m2/s, and 1.91 × 10-10 m2/s for py-PPO, tri-PPO, and pen-PPO, respectively. This trend is due to the shorter distance between adjacent groups of py-PPO (7.5 Å) leading to an efficient hydroxide transport than tri-PPO (7.8 Å) and pen-PPO (8.1 Å) at λ = 12. Also, this trend is justified by the smaller average number of clusters for py-PPO (1.2), smaller than tri-PPO(2.0), and pen-PPO (1.5) at λ = 12, which suggests better connectivity and hence better conductivity.

Abstract
For anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE), two types of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) containing crosslinked poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) and poly(styrene ethylene butylene styrene) (SEBS) were prepared with and without triazole. The impact of triazole was carefully examined. In this work, the PPO was crosslinked with the non-aryl ether-type SEBS to take advantage of its enhanced chemical stability and phase separation under alkaline conditions. Compared to their triazole-free counterpart, the crosslinked membranes made with triazole had better hydroxide-ion conductivity because of the increased phase separation, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Moreover, they displayed improved mechanical and alkaline stability. Under water electrolysis (WE) conditions, a triazole-containing crosslinked PPO–SEBS membrane electrode assembly (MEA) was created using IrO2 as the anode and a Pt/C catalyst as the cathode. This MEA displayed a current density of 0.7 A/cm2 at 1.8 V, which was higher than that of the MEA created with the triazole-free counterpart. Our study indicated that the crosslinked PPO–SEBS membrane containing triazoles had improved chemo-physical and electrical capabilities for WE because of the strong hydrogen bonding between triazole and water/OH−.

Abstract
Ion exchange membranes are widely used to selectively transport ions in various electrochemical devices. Hydroxide exchange membranes (HEMs) are promising to couple with lower cost platinum-free electrocatalysts used in alkaline conditions, but are not stable enough in strong alkaline solutions. Herein, we present a Cu2+-crosslinked chitosan (chitosan-Cu) material as a stable and high-performance HEM. The Cu2+ ions are coordinated with the amino and hydroxyl groups of chitosan to crosslink the chitosan chains, forming hexagonal nanochannels (~1 nm in diameter) that can accommodate water diffusion and facilitate fast ion transport, with a high hydroxide conductivity of 67 mS cm-1 at room temperature. The Cu2+ coordination also enhances the mechanical strength of the membrane, reduces its permeability and, most importantly, improves its stability in alkaline solution (only 5% conductivity loss at 80 °C after 1,000 h). These advantages make chitosan-Cu an outstanding HEM, which we demonstrate in a direct methanol fuel cell that exhibits a high power density of 305 mW cm-2. The design principle of the chitosan-Cu HEM, in which ion transport channels are generated in the polymer through metal-crosslinking of polar functional groups, could inspire the synthesis of many ion exchange membranes for ion transport, ion sieving, ion filtration and more.

Abstract
Anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) are promising energy conversion devices due to their high efficiency and relatively low cost. Nonetheless, AEMFC operation time is currently limited by the low chemical stability of their polymeric anion-exchange membranes. In recent years, metallopolymers, where the metal centers assume the ion transport function, have been proposed as a chemically stable alternative. Here we present a systematic study using a polymer backbone with side-chain N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands complexed to various metals with low oxophilicity, such as copper, zinc, nickel, and gold. The golden metallopolymer, using the metal with the lowest oxophilicity, demonstrates exceptional alkaline stability, far superior to state-of-the-art quaternary ammonium cations, as well as good in-situ AEMFC results. These results demonstrate that judiciously designed metallopolymers may be superior to purely organic membranes and provides a scientific base for further developments in the field.

Abstract
Several methods to synthesize poly(phenylene) block copolymers through the nickel coupling reaction were attempted to reduce the use of expensive nickel catalysts in polymerization. The model reaction for poly(phenylene) having different types of dichlorobenzene derivative monomers illustrated the potential use of cost-effective catalysts, such as NiBr2 and NiCl2, as alternatives to more expensive catalysts (e.g., bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)nickel(0) (Ni(COD)2)). By catalyzing the polymerization of multi-block poly(phenylene) with NiBr2 and NiCl2, random copolymers with similar molecular weights could be prepared. However, these catalysts did not result in a high-molecular-weight polymer, limiting their wide scale application. Further, the amount of Ni(COD)2 could be reduced in this study by approximately 50% to synthesize poly(phenylene) multi-block copolymers, representing significant cost savings. Gel permeation chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance results showed that the degree of polymerization and ion exchange capacity of the copolymers were almost the same as those achieved through conventional polymerization using 2.5 times as much Ni(COD)2. The flexible quaternized membrane showed higher chloride ion conductivity than commercial Fumatech membranes with comparable water uptake and promising chemical stability.

Development of Polymeric Membranes Based on Quaternized Polysulfones for AMFC Applications. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12020283.

Abstract
A series of quaternary ammonium-functionalized polysulfones were successfully synthesized using a chloromethylation two-step method. In particular, triethylammonium and trimethylammonium polysulfone derivatives with different functionalization degrees from 60% to 150% were investigated. NMR spectroscopic techniques were used to determine the degree of functionalization of the polymers. The possibility to predict the functionalization degree by a reaction tool based on a linear regression was highlighted. Anionic membranes with a good homogeneity of thickness were prepared using a doctor-blade casting method of functionalized polymers. The chemical–physical data showed that ion exchange capacity, water content, and wettability increase with the increase of functionalization degree. A higher wettability was found for membranes prepared by the trimethylamine (TMA) quaternary ammonium group. A degree of functionalization of 100% was chosen for an electrochemical test as the best compromise between chemical–physical properties and mechanical stability. From anionic conductivity measurement a better stability was found for the triethylamine (TEA)-based membrane due to a lower swelling effect. A power density of about 300 mW/cm2 for the TEA-based sample at 60 °C in a H2/O2 fuel cell was found.

Abstract
The photoinitiated copper(I) catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (photo-CuAAC) is a 'click' reaction that enables spatially and temporally controlled polymerizations. The solvent-less photopolymerization of multi-functional azide and cationic alkyne monomers results in the rapid formation of a charged polymer network. Full conversion of these monomers is achieved within 30 minutes under mild, blue-light irradiation conditions (470 nm light at 30 mW/cm2). The modulus of the material is readily tuned by controlling the ratio of di- and tri-functional alkyne monomers. Facile exchange of the hydrophobic bistriflimide counterion for a hydroxide anion yields an ion conductive polymer network with photopatternable charged regions. The spatiotemporal nature of the ionic photo-CuAAC reaction coupled with the chemical stability and mechanical flexibility suggests this chemistry is a facile and novel approach for ion-containing material synthesis (e.g., alkaline fuel cells components).

Abstract
Moderate and eco-pleasing ion-exchange trade membranes are in need to recover acid from industrial waste. Present study is focused on incorporation of plant waste (Azadirachta indica, neem leaves powder (NP)) of different composition as filler to polysulfone (PSf) membrane matrix to achieve acid recovery. Membranes were characterized, their chemical, mechanical and thermal stabilities and effectiveness in acid recovery via diffusion has been inspected. Multi-functional groups (-COOH, -NH2, -OH, -OAc, -C = O) present in different components of NP contributes in their own means in H+ ion transportation through membrane in acid recovery. They assisted formation of hydrogen bond and provided channels for ion permeation, and facilitated selective transportation of H+ ion over Fe2+ ions and explained mechanism is in accordance with Grotthuss-type and vehicle mechanism. Membrane with 15% of NP showed better performance in terms of ion exchange capacity (IEC) and acid recovery, at optimum concentration of NP, composite the membrane showed highest IEC values of 3.9771 mmol/g, UH+ value of ≈46.499 × 10-3 m/h and greater separation factor ≈154, which is higher than commercially available DF-120 membrane. An original thought of utilizing NP in membrane matrix opens up promising opportunities for extremely straightforward, easy, cost-effective and greener methods of recovery acid.

Abstract
Poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)s (PPOs)-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) with four of the most widely investigated head groups were prepared. Through a combination of experimental and simulation approaches, the effects of the different types of head groups on the properties of the AEMs, including hydroxide conductivity, water content, physicochemical stability, and fuel cell device performance were fully explored. Unlike other studies, in which the conductivity was mostly investigated in liquid water, the conductivity of the PPO-based AEMs in 95% relative humidity (RH) conditions as well as in liquid water was investigated. The conductivity trend in 95% RH condition was different from that in liquid water but corresponded well with the actual cell performance trend observed, suggesting that the AEM fuel cell performance under in situ cell conditions (95% RH, 60 °C, H2/O2) is more closely related to the conductivity measured ex situ under 95% RH conditions (60 °C) than in liquid water. On the basis of the conductivity data and molecular simulation results, it was concluded that the predominant hydroxide ion-conducting mechanism in liquid water differs from that in the operating fuel cell environment, where the ionomers become hydrated only as a result of water vapor transported into the cells.

Abstract
Microwave heating holds all the aces regarding development of effective and environmentally friendly methods to perform chemical transformations. Coupling the benefits of microwave-enhanced chemistry with highly reliable copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry paves the way for a rapid and efficient synthesis procedure to afford high performance thermoplastic materials. We describe herein fast and high yielding synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole-functionalized polysulfone through microwave-assisted CuAAC as well as explore their potential as phosphoric acid doped polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) for high temperature PEM fuel cells. Polymers with various degrees of substitution of the side-chain functionality of 1,4-substituted 1,2,3-triazole with alkyl and aryl pendant structures are prepared by sequential chloromethylation, azidation, and microwave-assisted CuAAC using a range of alkynes (1-pentyne, 1-nonyne, and phenylacetylene). The completeness of reaction at each step and the purity of the clicked polymers were confirmed by (1)H-(13)C NMR, DOSY-NMR and FTIR-ATR spectroscopies. The thermal and thermochemical properties of the modified polymers were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectroscopy (TG-MS), respectively. TG-MS analysis demonstrated that the commencement of the thermal degradation takes place with the decomposition of the triazole ring while its substituents have critical influence on the initiation temperature. Polysulfone functionalized with 4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole demonstrates significantly higher Tg, Td, and elastic modulus than the ones bearing 4-propyl-1,2,3-triazole and 4-heptyl-1,2,3-triazole groups. After doping with phosphoric acid, the functionalized polymers with acid doping level of 5 show promising performance with high proton conductivity in anhydrous conditions (in the range of 27-35 mS/cm) and satisfactorily high elastic modulus (in the range of 332-349 MPa).
