Layered bimetallic hydroxide-based hydrogel bipolar membrane and method for preparing same

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a layered bimetallic hydroxide-based hydrogel bipolar membrane and a method for preparing the same. The method includes: blade-coating a quaternized polyethersulfone solution on a substrate, and carrying out drying to obtain an anion exchange layer; immersing the layer sequentially and cyclically in a sodium alginate solution and a first metal ion mixed solution to obtain a hydrogel anion exchange membrane; immersing the hydrogel membrane sequentially in a second metal ion mixed solution and an alkaline solution; and blade-coating a sulfonated polyethersulfone solution on the obtained membrane, and carrying out drying to obtain the layered bimetallic hydroxide-based hydrogel bipolar membrane. The anion and cation exchange membrane layers on two sides of the bipolar membrane prepared in the present disclosure are closely bound by way of hydrogel cross-linking. The bipolar membrane has the advantages of high water dissociation efficiency, low energy consumption, and good stability.
