Novel self-crosslinked alkaline electrolyte membranes with high hydroxide ion conductivity, excellent dimensional stability and extraordinary solvent resistance stability are synthesized successfully without using any catalyst or separate crosslinker. Monitored by1H NMR analysis, the synthetic process of trimethyl poly (ether sulfone)-methylene quaternary ammonium hydroxide (TPQAOH) is found to be simple and efficient. The chemical and thermal stability of the synthetic SCL-TPQAOH-x membranes are better than other anion exchange membranes. At the same time, the hydroxide ion conductivity of SCL-TPQAOH-0.67 membrane reaches 33 mS cm−1with an IEC value of 1.07 mmol g−1at 80 °C, which complies with the requirements of alkaline fuel cells. This investigation also proves that self-crosslinking technology is a very simple and effective approach in improving the performance of alkaline electrolyte membranes.
