A novel sulfonated diamine bearing sulfophenyl pendant groups of 2,2′-(4-sulfophenyl) benzidine (BSPhB) was synthesized. Sulfonated polyimides (SPIs) derived from 1,4,5,8-naphthalene tetracarboxylic dianhydride, BSPhB and other non-sulfonated diamines were successfully synthesized. The SPIs with ion exchange capacity (IEC) of 1.5–2.8meqg−1showed high reduced viscosity of 3–10dLg−1and high desulfonation temperature of 320°C. The SPI membranes were tough and flexible, having high stress at break of more than 80MPa and elongation of 80–100%. They showed highly anisotropic membrane swelling in water with larger swelling in thickness direction than in plane direction. They showed fairly high proton conductivity (σ). For example, the membrane with IEC of 1.77meqg−1exhibited σ values of 120 and 260mScm−1at 60 and 120°C, respectively, in water. They also showed fairly high water stability.
