Thermally and chemically stable sulfonated poly(phenylenebenzophenone)s (SPPBP) membranes have been synthesized from 1,4-dichloro-2,5-diphenylene methoxy benzophenone (PMBP) and 1,4-dichloro-2,5-dibenzoyl benzene (PBP) monomers by using Ni (0) catalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). The synthesized SPPBP membranes exhibited ion exchange capacity from 1.18 to 2.30 meq/g., water uptake from 34.2 to 78.3% and proton conductivity from 36.94 to 92.90 mS/cm. Additionally, the C-C coupling polymerization improved the thermal and chemical stability of the SPPBP membranes. Furthermore, the pendent benzophenone acid moiety provided the well hydrophilic/hydrophobic phase separation morphology with increased conductivity. Therefore, the SPPBP membranes can be a potential candidate for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC).
