Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have attracted particular interest as alternative and enviromentally friendly energy source for both mobile and stationary application. The perfluorosulfonic acid membranes, such as Nafion® are most used PEMs because of their good chemical and electrochemical stability. However they have drawbacks such as high cost, low application temperature, insufficient durability. Sulfonated poly (arylene ether)s, poly (phenylene ether)s, poly (arylene ether ketone)s have beem developed. This work is an attempt to synthesize sulfonated poly (arylene ether)s contained phosphinate moiety which is pendant phenyl structure. Sulfonated poly (arylene ether)s membranes were prepared from DOPO-BPA, 4,4’-sulfonyl diphenol(SFDPS), 1,4-bis(4-fluoro benzoyl)benzene(1,4-FBB).
