Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A polybenzimidazole based polymer in which substituted or non-substituted benzyl groups are introduced to the two nitrogen atoms of benzimidazole ring. The benzimidazole ring is not decomposed by the attack of hydroxide ions but shows excellent alkali resistance, and thus maintains high ion conductivity. The polybenzimidazole based polymers are particularly useful for not only solid alkali exchange membrane fuel cells (SAEMFC) but also various industrial fields in which polybenzimidazole based polymers are used.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A dibenzylated polybenzimidazole based polymer comprising dibenzylated benzimidazolium in which substituted or non-substituted benzyl groups are bound to each of the two nitrogen atoms of benzimidazole ring of a polybenzimidazole based polymer, wherein the dibenzylated polybenzimidazole based polymer is poly(dibenzylated benzimidazolium) hydroxide in which hydroxide is bound to dibenzylated benzimidazolium; and wherein the poly(dibenzylated benzimidazolium) hydroxide is a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 7: wherein Ar is R independently represents H, alkyl group, NO 2 , NH 3 , OH or SO 3 H, the alkyl group is methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl or tert-butyl group, and n is the number of repeating units. 2. The dibenzylated polybenzimidazole based polymer according to claim 1 , wherein the benzyl group is substituted with an alkyl group, NO 2 , NH 3 , OH or SO 3 H, and the alkyl group is methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl or tert-butyl group. 3. An electrolyte membrane comprising the poly(dibenzylated benzimidazolium) hydroxide as defined in claim 1 . 4. A solid alkali exchange membrane fuel cell comprising the electrolyte membrane as defined in claim 3 .
