The development of phosphorylated polybenzimidazoles (PBI) for high-temperature polymer–electrolyte membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cells is a challenge and can lead to a significant increase in the efficiency and long-term operability of fuel cells of this type. In this work, high molecular weight film-forming pre-polymers based on N1,N5-bis(3-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4,5-benzenetetramine and [1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-dicarbonyl dichloride were obtained by polyamidation at room temperature for the first time. During thermal cyclization at 330–370 °C, such polyamides form N-methoxyphenyl substituted polybenzimidazoles for use as a proton-conducting membrane after doping by phosphoric acid for H2/air HT-PEM fuel cells. During operation in a membrane electrode assembly at 160–180 °C, PBI self-phosphorylation occurs due to the substitution of methoxy-groups. As a result, proton conductivity increases sharply, reaching 100 mS/cm. At the same time, the current-voltage characteristics of the fuel cell significantly exceed the power indicators of the commercial BASF Celtec® P1000 MEA. The achieved peak power is 680 mW/cm2 at 180 °C. The developed approach to the creation of effective self-phosphorylating PBI membranes can significantly reduce their cost and ensure the environmental friendliness of their production. |
