Aspect Ratio Modulations of Fully Conjugated Rod-like Polymer Electrolyte for Enhanced Three-dimensionally Isotropic Ionic Conductivity

This study utilized polycondensation reaction to synthesize fully conjugated rod-like polymer dihydroxy-PBI. Chemical derivatizations were applied to attach pendants of propane sulfonic coil for dihydroxy-PBI-PS and to attach aromatic phenylene ring with Li ionic moiety for dihydroxy-PBI-AS. The attachment of pendants for dihydroxy-PBI-PS was 42.27 % and for dihydroxy-PBI-AS was only for 0.04 % causing by stereo hindrance of this molecule. These polymers seemed to have good thermal stability. Dihydroxy-PBI started to show degradation at 467.8 oC and retained 60.5 wt. % at 800 oC. Derivatized dihydroxy- PBI-PS and dihydroxy-PBI-AS lost their pendants at 295.3 oC and 314.4 oC, respectively.
Dihydroxy-PBI was cast into thin film. Upon doping with lithium salt of LiClO at 2.02 wt. %, dihydroxy-PBI cast film showed the highest room-temperature dc conductivity parallel to the film (£m¡ü) of 1.71 x 10-4 S/cm and perpendicular to the film (£m¡æ) of 1.49 x 10-5 S/cm. For dihydroxy-PBI-PS cast film, the highest conductivity was at 0.49 wt. % of LiClO4 with £m¡ü of 1.05 x 10-3 S/cm and £m¡æ of 1.05 x 10-4 S/cm. For dihydroxy-PBI-AS cast film, the highest conductivity was at 2.02 wt. % of LiClO4 with £m¡ü of 1.32 x 10-3 S/cm and £m¡æ of 2.26 x 10-5 S/cm.
From scanning electron microscopy and wide-angle x-ray scattering, it was learned that cast films of dihydroxy-PBI and dihydroxy-PBI-AS had anisotropic layered structure parallel to the film, and that of dihydroxy-PBI-PS showed less of this anisotropy.
