Herein, we present a three-decker layered double hydroxide (LDH)/poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) for hydroxide exchange membrane (HEM) applications. Hexagonal LDH is functionalized with highly stable 3-hydroxy-6-azaspiro [5.5] undecane (OH-ASU) cations to promote it's ion-exchange capacity. The ASU-LDH is combined with triple cations functionalized PPO (TC-PPO) to fabricate a three-decker ASU-LDH/TC-PPO hybrid membrane by an electrostatic-spraying method. Notably, the ASU-LDH layer with a porous structure shows many valuable properties for the ASULDH/TC-PPO hybrid membranes, such as improving hydroxide conductivity, dimensional stability, and alkaline stability. The maximum OH- conductivity of ASU-LDH/TC-PPO hybrid membranes achieves 0.113 S/cm at 80 degrees C. Only 11.5% drops in OH- conductivity was detected after an alkaline stability test in 1 M NaOH at 80 degrees C for 588 h, prolonging the lifetime of the TC-PPO membrane. Furthermore, the ASU-LDH/TC-PPO hybrid membrane realizes a maximum power density of 0.209 W/cm(2) under a current density of 0.391 A/cm(2). In summary, the ASU-LDH/TC-PPO hybrid membranes provide a reliable method for preparing high-performance HEMs.
