Poly(styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) triblock copolymer (SEBS) was selected for functionalization and cross-linking reaction to prepare the anion exchange membrane. The cross-linked quaternized SEBS (QSEBS-Cn) membranes were synthesized by simultaneous of quaternization and cross-linking of chloromethylated SEBS with α,ω-difunctional tertiary amines. The spacer groups of (−CH2−)n in diamines did affect the functionalization, micromorphology and properties of the resulting QSEBS-Cn membranes. The ionic conductivity of QSEBS-Cn membranes greatly increased and methanol resistance slightly decreased with increasing the length of spacer groups in the cross-linked structures from −(CH2)– to −(CH2)6–. Compared to the un-cross-linked QSEBS, the QSEBS-Cn membranes behaved much higher mechanical property, service temperature, chemical stability and thermal stability. Moreover, the hybrid composite membrane of QSEBS-C6 with 0.5% of graphene oxide could also be in situ prepared. This hybrid membrane had both relatively high ionic conductivity of 2.0 × 10–2 S·cm–1 and high selectivity of 7.6 × 104 S·s·cm–3 at 60 °C due to its low methanol permeability.
