We applied radiation-induced grafting technique to introduce imidazolium-based graft-copolymers into thermally and mechanically tough poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) to develop new AEMs with high conductivity and alkaline durability. Our strategy to overcome the alkaline unstable character of AEMs is as follows: (1) Basicity control of anion-conducting groups in AEMs. (2) Molecular design for alkaline-durability of the imidazolium groups on the graft-copolymers. (3) Understanding of structural requirement for alkaline durability by analyzing the hierarchical structures of AEMs using small angle X-rays/neutron scattering methods., 232nd ECS Meeting}, title = {Alkaline Durable Anion-Conducting Electrolyte Membranes Prepared by Radiation Induced Grafting of 2-Methyl-4-vinylimidazole for Non-Platinum Direct Hydrazine Hydrate Fuel Cells}, year = {2017} }
