We synthesized a novel poly(ether-ether-ketone) containing di(quaternary ammonium) hydroxide groups. Then we tested the alkaline-exchange properties of a prepared membrane for fuel-cell applications. In other to synthesis di-hydroxide monomer with amine groups, we used formaldehyde solution and triethylamine sulotion. And then we synthesized poly(ether-ether-ketone) using a synthesized amine monomer, bisphenol A and difluorobenzophenone. We controlled the mole ratio of the quaternary ammonium hydroxide groups in the polymer. The performances of membrane with different degrees of amination were compared for the application of the anion exchange membrane.
