Abstract
Alkali-stable quaternary phosphonium (QP) is a type of cationic group for hydroxide exchange membranes (HEMs). To elucidate the relationship between structure and alkaline stability, we investigated the kinetics and degradation mechanism of a series of QP cations by both experiment and computation, and established a semi-empirical formula based on the Taft equation to directly estimate alkaline stability of QP cations from the P-31 NMR chemical shift delta and the steric substituent constant E-s, facilitating the search for QP cations with improved alkaline stability.
