近日，我?；瘜W(xué)與化工學(xué)院曹麗慧教授團(tuán)隊(duì)圍繞離子型氫鍵有機(jī)框架（iHOFs）材料的質(zhì)子傳導(dǎo)及燃料電池應(yīng)用開(kāi)展了一系列研究工作，在Advanced Functional Materials（IF = 18.5）、Chemical Engineering Journal（IF = 13.3）、ACS Materials Letters（IF = 9.6）期刊上發(fā)表了三篇研究論文，并受邀撰寫(xiě)電荷輔助iHOFs材料的設(shè)計(jì)合成及應(yīng)用的相關(guān)綜述（Chemistry-A European Journal, 2024, 30, e202303580）。
氫鍵有機(jī)框架（HOFs）是由有機(jī)分子單元通過(guò)非共價(jià)氫鍵相互作用構(gòu)建而成的晶體，分子間作用力較弱，因此合成和設(shè)計(jì)具有超質(zhì)子傳導(dǎo)性和穩(wěn)健性的氫鍵有機(jī)框架相對(duì)困難。通過(guò)酸堿配對(duì)策略自組裝的離子氫鍵有機(jī)框架（iHOFs），由于具有豐富的氫鍵、強(qiáng)離子鍵以及π-π堆積等相互作用使之成為可能，結(jié)構(gòu)中豐富的氫鍵為質(zhì)子提供了獨(dú)特的輸運(yùn)路徑。同時(shí)，iHOFs中的酸堿有機(jī)分子可作為質(zhì)子載體或質(zhì)子源，有效地傳輸質(zhì)子，可獲得具有超質(zhì)子導(dǎo)電性的材料。
本文利用聯(lián)苯二磷酸和1,1’-二氨基-4,4’-二聯(lián)吡啶為原料制備了一例大尺寸的三維（3D）氫鍵網(wǎng)絡(luò)結(jié)構(gòu)iHOF-16，該材料具有優(yōu)異的熱穩(wěn)定性和化學(xué)穩(wěn)定性，在強(qiáng)酸堿條件下也能保持高結(jié)晶度和堅(jiān)固的結(jié)構(gòu)。iHOF-16沿a軸、b軸和c軸方向分別具有0.388、5.56×10-3和3.25×10-4 S cm-1的高各向異性質(zhì)子傳導(dǎo)率。利用密度泛函理論（DFT）計(jì)算結(jié)果表明質(zhì)子最容易在a軸方向傳輸，從而產(chǎn)生超質(zhì)子傳導(dǎo)率。通過(guò)電荷輔助合成策略，為設(shè)計(jì)穩(wěn)定的超質(zhì)子導(dǎo)電材料提供了一種可行的方法。
相關(guān)成果以“An Ultra-Robust and 3D Proton Transport Pathways iHOF with Single-Crystal Superprotonic Conductivity Around 0.4 S·cm?1”為題，發(fā)表在Advanced Functional Materials（IF = 18.5）上。陜西科技大學(xué)為論文第一通訊單位，化學(xué)與化工學(xué)院2023級(jí)博士研究生曹蕭杰為該論文的第一作者，曹麗慧教授為第二作者和論文唯一通訊作者。
本工作以1,3,5-三（4-膦酸基苯基）苯與鹽酸胍為原料，在二甲胺調(diào)節(jié)的作用下，成功制備了兩種iHOFs（即iHOF-14、iHOF-15）。其中，胍陽(yáng)離子和芳基膦酸陰離子通過(guò)電荷輔助氫鍵增強(qiáng)了框架的穩(wěn)定性。由于豐富的氫鍵網(wǎng)絡(luò)，iHOF-14和iHOF-15表現(xiàn)出超過(guò)10-2 S·cm-1的質(zhì)子導(dǎo)電性。此外，我們將iHOFs摻雜到Nafion基質(zhì)中，得到了具有更豐富的質(zhì)子傳輸路徑和良好的甲醇阻隔性能的PEM。在100 °C和98% RH下，9%-iHOF-14/Nafion和9%-iHOF-15/Nafion電導(dǎo)率分別達(dá)到1.53 × 10-1和1.78 × 10-1 S·cm-1。72 h的甲醇滲透實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果表明，復(fù)合膜的甲醇滲透率比重鑄后的Nafion低73.7%。用于DMFCs的混合膜的最大功率密度約為80 mW·cm-2，是重鑄Nafion的1.5倍。這一工作不僅豐富了芳基膦酸鹽iHOFs，而且拓展了用于DMFC的iHOFs/Nafion PEM材料。
相關(guān)成果以“Dimethylamine-tuned guanidinium arylphosphonate iHOFs and superprotonic conduction Nafion hybrid membranes for DMFCs”為題，發(fā)表在Chemical Engineering Journal（IF = 13.3）上。陜西科技大學(xué)為論文唯一通訊單位，化學(xué)與化工學(xué)院2022級(jí)博士研究生白向田為該論文的第一作者，曹麗慧教授為論文唯一通訊作者。
本文以六(4-磺酸基苯基)苯和1,1’-二氨基-4,4’-二聯(lián)吡啶為原料合成了具有三維氫鍵網(wǎng)絡(luò)的iHOF-13。穩(wěn)定的iHOF是通過(guò)電荷輔助氫鍵相互作用連接，并通過(guò)靜電吸引進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)。同時(shí)，結(jié)晶水分子的存在促進(jìn)了更廣泛的氫鍵網(wǎng)絡(luò)形成，從而使iHOFs具有超質(zhì)子導(dǎo)電性。具體來(lái)說(shuō)，iHOF-13在98% RH和100 °C下的質(zhì)子電導(dǎo)率為1.3 × 10-1 S·cm-1。iHOF富含質(zhì)子輸運(yùn)位點(diǎn)，其摻雜到Nafion基體中表現(xiàn)出極高的質(zhì)子電導(dǎo)率（10-1 S·cm-1）和低的甲醇滲透率。在直接甲醇燃料電池中，7.5%-iHOF-13/Nafion復(fù)合膜的最大功率密度可達(dá)104.7 mW·cm-2，是重鑄Nafion的2.1倍。高性能iHOF的加入有助于增強(qiáng)質(zhì)子傳輸途徑，同時(shí)有效抑制甲醇交叉，從而擴(kuò)大其在燃料電池中的潛在應(yīng)用。
相關(guān)成果以“Arylsulfonate Ionic Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Frameworks Enable Highly Stable and Superprotonic Conductivity for Enhancing Direct Methanol Fuel Cells” 為題，發(fā)表在ACS Materials Letters上（IF = 9.6）上。陜西科技大學(xué)為論文唯一通訊單位，化學(xué)與化工學(xué)院2022級(jí)博士研究生白向田為該論文的第一作者，曹麗慧教授為論文唯一通訊作者。
