Facile Fabrication and Characterization of Improved Proton Conducting Sulfonated Poly(Arylene Biphenylether Sulfone) Blocks Containing Fluorinated Hydrophobic Units for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Applications

Sulfonated poly(arylene biphenylether sulfone)-poly(arylene ether) (SPABES-PAE) block copolymers by controlling the molar ratio of SPABES and PAE oligomers were successfully synthesized, and the performances of SPABES-PAE (1:2, 1:1, and 2:1) membranes were compared with Nafion 212. The prepared memb...
