Abstract

Dimethyl 5-sulfoisophthalate sodium salt (DMSIP)-co-diethylene glycol (DEG)-co-maleic anhydride (MA)/phthalic anhydride (PA) oligomers were synthesized via condensation reaction and the corresponding membranes were prepared by UV curing. The number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the DMSIP-co-DEG-co-MA/PA (DDMP) was proportional to the concentration of DMSIP and ranged from 1,360–2,856 g/mol. A successful introduction of a -SO3Na group to the main oligomer chain was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and the thermal stability of the membranes up to 300 °C was analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The water uptake values, swelling ratios, and the ion-exchange capacities of the membranes were 13%–30%, 7%–15%, and 0.7–0.9 meq/g, respectively. The electrical properties of the membrane, including the area resistance, ion transport number, and the cyclic charge-discharge current were also analyzed; these properties confirmed that these membranes were suitable for use in redox flow battery (RFB) applications.
