New proton conducting membrane based on bacterial cellulose/polyaniline nanocomposite film impregnated with guanidinium-based ionic liquid

Résumé

New protic ionic liquid N-butylguanidinium tetrafluoroborate (BG-BF4) has been synthesized by single-step method. The ionic liquid is thermally stable to at least 300 °C and has ionic conductivity value of 8⋅10−3 S/cm at room temperature increasing to 0.18 S/cm at 180 °C. To develop a new proton conducting membrane, the nano-fibrillar matrix of bacterial cellulose (BC) has been impregnated with BG-BF4. The composite BC/BG-BF4 membrane containing 80 wt% of ionic liquid was found to have tensile strength of 35 MPa and ionic conductivity of 4.5⋅10−4 S/cm at 180 °C. The high saturation of BC with protic ionic liquid to 95 wt% allowed obtain composite membrane with reduced tensile strength of 6 MPa but excellent ionic conductivity of 5.2⋅10−2 S/cm at 180 °C. The deposition of polyaniline (PANI, emeraldine base) into BC matrix by oxidative polymerization of aniline on the surface of cellulose nanofibrils was found to improve the ionic conductivity of BC/BG-BF4 system significantly, reaching the value of 4⋅10−3 S/cm at 180 °C for cellulose film containing 80 wt% of ionic liquid. According to results of dynamical mechanical analysis (DMA), both BC/BG-BF4 and BC/PANI/BG-BF4 composites keep excellent storage modulus values at 180 °C (1000 MPa and 835 MPa, respectively). Due to the excellent holding capacity of BC matrix to ionic liquid, as well as good thermal and mechanical properties of BC/BG-BF4 composite it can be promising material for the fabrication of proton conducting membranes for fuel cells operating at elevated temperatures in water free conditions.
