Abstract: To prepare proton conductive membrane for DMFC, a novel sulfonated diamine 1,4-bis(4-amino-2-sulfonic-phenoxy)-benzene(DS-TBDA) was synthesized and polymerized with a non-sulfonated diamine(ODA) and naphthalene-1,4,5,8-tetracaboxylic dianhydride(NTDA) to get a series of naphalenic sulfonated polyimides(S-PI). The sulfonation degree of the polymers was controlled by changing the molar ratio of the monomers. The obtained SPI membrane was characterized by FTIR and the properties, such as water uptake, proton conductivity and methanol permeability, were investigated. With the increase of sulfonation degree, the proton conductivity and methanol permeability raise gradually. The proton conductivities of the SPI membranes are in a range of from 0.007 9 to 0.072 S/cm and the methanol permeability is less than 2.85×10-7 cm2/s. The experiment result indicats they are great potential candidates for fuel cell applications.
