In this study, heterogeneous ion exchange membranes were prepared by casting method with various mixing ratios of PPO ion-selective solution and ion exchange resin. Then heterogeneous bipolar membranes were prepared by using this. The water content of heterogeneous cation and anion exchange membranes were 60~80% respectively, the ion exchange capacity was 2.81~3.26 meq/g, 2.31~2.74 meq/g and electrical resistances were $1.65{\sim}1.45{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and $1.55{\sim}1.05{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$. The tensile strength of heterogeneous bipolar membrane was lower than that of PPO resin before functionalization ($700Kg_f/cm^2$). The tensile strength of heterogeneous bipolar membrane with catalyst layer was lower than that of non-catalytic heterogeneous bipolar membrane. The water splitting voltage of the heterogeneous bipolar membrane with catalyst layer was low and stable at a minimum of 1.7~1.8 V, maximum 3.9~4.0 V, and the water splitting voltage of the non-catalytic heterogeneous bipolar membrane was constant at 3.8~4.0 V.

Anion exchange membranes have been used for water electrolysis, which can produce hydrogen, and fuel cells, which can generate electrical energy using hydrogen fuel. Anion exchange membranes operate based on hydroxide ion (OH^-) conduction under alkaline conditions. However, since the anion exchange membrane shows relatively low ion conductivity and alkaline stability, there is still a limit to its commercialization in water electrolysis and fuel cells. To address these issues, it is important to develop novel anion exchange membrane materials by rationally designing a polymer structure. In particular, the polymer structure and synthetic method need to be controlled. By doing so, for polymers, the physical properties, ionic conductivity, and alkaline stability can be maintained. Among many anion exchange membranes, poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) is commercially available and easily accessible. In addition, the PPO has relatively high mechanical and chemical stability compared to other polymers. In this review, we introduce the recent development strategy and characteristics of PPO-based polymer materials used in anion exchange membranes.

We synthesized two new series of alternating copolymers, poly[bis(2-(4-phenylenevinylene)-2-cyanoethenyl)-9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluoren-2,7-yl-alt-1,4-phenylene](Polymer-I)and poly[bis(2-(4-phenylenevinylene)-2­cyanoethenyl)-9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluoren-2,7-yl-alt-2,7-(9,9-dihexylfluorene)](Polymer-II), via the Suzuki coupling reaction, for use in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Defect-free uniformly thin films of these polymers were found to be easily formed on indium-tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates. Multi-layer LEDs with ITO/PEDOT/Polymer/ LiF/Al configurations with or without an $Alq_3$ electron transport layer were fabricated with these polymers. The maximum EL emissions of Polymer-I and Polymer-II with an $Alq_3/LiF/Al$ cathode were observed at 516 and 533 nm, respectively. The maximum brightness and external luminance efficiency of the devices fabricated with the EL polymers were found to be $411 cd/m^2$ and 0.16 cd/A, respectively.

^g , pp V (Poly-para phenylene vinylene) 유도체와^g , pp P(Poly-para phennylene) 유도체에 Ar, H2, N2 및 O2 등의 이온을 조사하여 PL(Photoluminescence)의 변화를 실험하였다. 각각의 전도성 고분자는 ITO9indium tin oxide)가 증착되어 있는 유리기판위에 spin coating을 하였으며 이렇게 처리된 전도성 고분자의 표면에 이온을 조사하였다. 여기에서 조사된 이온의 가속 에너지는 300eV에서 700eV까지 변화시켰고 이온 조사량은 1$\times$1013ions/cm2에서 1$\times$1017ions/cm2까지 변화시켰다. 이때 이온빔의 전류밀도는 0.2$\mu\textrm{A}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$이하로 고정하였으며 chamber내의 진공도는 $1.5\times$10-4Torr를 유지하였다. 이온 빔처리후 불안정한 고분자의 표면이 대기와 반응하는 것을 어느정도 방지하기 위해 이온 빔으로 처리된 시료를 chamber의 내부에 일정시간동안 방치하였다. Ar, H등의 이온으로 처리된 MEH-PPV의 경우는 PL의 세기가 감소하였고 이온 조사량이 1016ions/cm2 보다 클 때 PL의 세기는 급속히 감소하였다.^g , pp V와^g , pp P 유도체의 경우는 특정 이온 조사량에서 PL의 증가현상을 보였는데^g , pp P 도체중에서 P3의 경우를 보면 이온 빔 에너지가 300eV이고 이온 전류 밀도가 0.05$\mu\textrm{A}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$인 N2이온을 조사하면 이온 조사량이 1$\times$1013ions/cm2가 될 때 PL의 세기가 39%까지 증가하였다.

In this study, Br-PPO was developed by applying additive organic particles through a suspension polymerization synthesis method. The anion exchange membrane fuel cell system performance was evaluated using it to an anion exchange membrane. To improve the performance, organic ion exchange particles were prepared and added to the anion exchange membrane. Chemical structure analysis and synthesis were determined through FT-IR and NMR, and tensile strength and thermal stability were measured through TGA and UTM to determine whether it could be driven. Before the anion exchange membrane fuel cell test, the performance was evaluated by measuring the ion conductivity and ion exchange capacity. Finally, the Br-PPO-TMA-SDV (0.7%) anion exchange membrane with excellent ion conductivity and ion exchange capacity was introduced into the fuel cell system. Its performance was compared with FAA-3-50, a commercial membrane, to determine whether it could be introduced into a fuel cell system.
