“…From this, a family of high-performance poly(imidazolium)s have been systematically developed with high hydroxide stability and conductivity for integration into AEMFCs and AEMWEs. [8,21,24,25] Initially, a novel C2-protected novel poly(imidazolium), HMT-PMPI, [21] was synthesized with an analogous backbone structure to that of successful poly(benzimidazolium), HMT-PMBI. [26] The poly(imidazolium), HMT-PMPI, observed no degradation when immersed in 10 M KOH at 100 °C, over 7 days.…”
