Technical field
The present invention relates to high temperature proton exchange film for fuel cell and preparation method thereof, belong to the fuel cell technology field.
Background technology
Fuel cell is the device that a kind of chemical energy that will be stored in fuel and the oxidant is converted into electric energy.Be with the difference of conventional batteries:, just have continual electric power output as long as have fuel and oxidant to supply with.Fuel cell produces NO hardly
xAnd SO
xDischarging.And, CO
2Discharge capacity also reduce more than 40% than conventional power generation usage factory.Also have simultaneously and start fast, battery life length, specific power, specific energy advantages of higher, more than these characteristics determined it to have broad application prospects with aspects such as power supply, distributed power source, spacecraft power supply, portable type electronic product and used for vehicle power supplys at stationary power generation system, scene.Research about Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) in recent years concentrates on the every field relevant with high temperature PEMFCs.Proton exchange membrane both provided the passage of hydrogen ions travel as electrolyte in fuel cell, played the effect of isolating two electrode reaction gases as barrier film again.Proton exchange membrane (PEMs) is the important component part of PEMFCs, yet the performance of existing PEMs all fails to reach the degree of commercial applications under hot conditions.The Nafion of Du Pont? film has very high proton conductivity, and better chemical stability and mechanical performance are present most widely used proton exchange membrane.Yet, when the operating temperature of fuel cell is higher than 100 ℃, Nafion? the film dehydration has caused the proton exchange membrane conductivity to descend.Nafion in addition? also have some other not enough as: expensive price, higher methanol permeability etc. has limited its application.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) backbone structure contains the ether oxygen groups.Because the ether oxygen groups has higher electron donation, be electron donor preferably, it is the ligand of preferred metal ion, proton etc., can promote the disassociation of inorganic or organic salt, is a kind of polymer that proton is had higher solvation.But, limited its application because the shortcoming of PEG maximum is to have very high crystallinity.When polyethylene glycol is introduced in the proton exchange membrane, and when under hot conditions, using, can improve the fuel cell performance of using this proton exchange membrane.H.Y.Chang, C.W.Lin.Proton conductingmembranes based on PEG/SiO

2Film, when high temperature uses, the segment warm-up movement of polyethylene glycol is accelerated, the high crystalline of polymer is overcome, formation can be for the accurate fluid conductors of proton conduction, thereby can improve the conductivity of this proton exchange membrane, but, the proton donor of this film is a DBSA, has good water-solubility, but does not have the performance of resistance alcohol, when under the environment of water is arranged, using, DBSA is understood water-soluble and is run off gradually, causes the proton concentration in the barrier film to descend, and finally causes the conductivity of barrier film to descend; In addition,, in fuel cell, can't play the supporting role of barrier film, not have the actual application value that high-temperature fuel cell uses because polyethylene glycol mechanics mechanical performance is low.
Therefore, need a kind of ionic exchange film for fuel cell that is suitable under the hot conditions with low cost of exploitation, this proton exchange membrane does not make water play the effect of proton solvent and has better mechanical performance.

The result shows: the conductivity of proton exchange membrane of the present invention and P-PVA film all increases along with the rising of temperature.What wherein, the conductivity of proton exchange membrane of the present invention increased is more obvious.This shows that proton exchange membrane of the present invention has proton donor and proton acceptor simultaneously, and the existence that can not rely on water is moved faster.
Mechanical performance
The sample film that the present invention obtains has the favorable mechanical performance under the condition of bone dry, pliability is better.Sample film is elastic failure in stretching experiment, is not brittle fracture, and its average tensile strength is 24.5-40.2MPa.The result of the hot strength that provides among the embodiment is the mean value of three parallel sample.The results are shown in Table 2.
PEG/SiO
2Itself can't obtain the good film of mechanical strength of self-supporting, therefore can not carry out the hot strength test.
