Abstract: A new sulfonated monomer 1,4-bi(3-sodium sulfonate-4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene was prepared by sulfonation of 1,4-bi(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene with fuming sulfuric acid. Then a series of sulfonated PEEKKs derived from the monomer were synthesized via aromatic nucleophilic substitution polycondensation of phenolphthalein with different molar ratios of 1,4-bi(3-sodium sulfonate-4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene to 1,4-bi(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene. The structure and property of the polymers were characterized and studied. Most of the polymers were easily cast into tough membranes. The membranes show a high ion exchange capacity and very good prospective in proton exchange membranes(PEM) usage.

Key words: Sulfonation, PEEKK, Fuel cell, Proton exchange membrane(PEM)
