Description

A kind of diffusion layer and preparation thereof that is used for integral regeneratable fuel cell
Technical field
The present invention relates to the integral regeneratable fuel cell diffusion layer, particularly be applied to the diffusion layer and the preparation thereof of integral regeneratable fuel cell.
Background technology
Integral regeneratable fuel cell (Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cell is called for short URFC) is a kind of of regeneratable fuel cell (Regenerative Fuel Cell is called for short RFC).Its specific energy is other high energy secondary cell such as lithium ion battery several times up to 400~1000Wh/Kg.For split RFC, the URFC system is simple, and is with low cost, and specific energy and specific power height are easy to miniaturization.Because URFC can satisfy the energy storage demand that discharges and recharges for a long time, application prospect is very wide, especially has incomparable advantage in the space power system field.
URFC can carry out two kinds of mode of operations on same assembly be fuel cell pattern and water electrolysis pattern.During with the fuel cell mode operation, hydrogen electrode is as anode, and reaction generates H +, output electronics, H +Move to oxygen electrode by the Nafion film, generate water with oxygen reaction.During with the water electrolysis mode operation, oxygen electrode is as anode, and battery utilizes the electric energy brine electrolysis to generate hydrogen and oxygen stores for future use.
Diffusion layer mainly plays the effect of supporting Catalytic Layer, collected current and electronics, gas and drainage channel being provided for electrochemical reaction in fuel cell.Gas diffusion layers normally is made up of basalis and microporous layers.Base layer material generally adopts graphitization carbon paper or carbon cloth, also uses metal material sometimes.One deck carbon dust that microporous layers is normally made on its surface for the pore structure that improves diffusion layer (claiming leveling to handle) can play and reduce contact resistance, prevents pole catalyze layer " water logging " and prevent that Catalytic Layer is penetrated into the effect of basalis.
The core component of URFC is membrane electrode (MEA), and the proton exchange membrane of employing can be identical with common proton membrane fuel battery with cathode diffusion layer.But as URFC during with the water electrolysis mode operation, the anode oxygen evolution potential is very high, and carbon dust very easily is corroded under high potential.The microporous layers of conventional diffusion layer carbon dust commonly used is made, and this diffusion layer very easily changes because of carbon dust corrosion structure, causes the stability decreases of battery.Use carbon dust to be microporous layers, document (1) (G.Chen, Catalysis Today, 341 (2001)) only provides circulation 3 times battery performance.Other disclosed URFC cycle lives are (2) (L.S.Larry, J.Power Sources 47 (1994)) (3) (T.Ioroi, J.Power Sources124 (2003)) about 10 times only, and single circulation timei is all very short.At present seldom about the research of URFC diffusion layer aspect.Document (3) (4) (U.Wittstakt, J.Power Sources 145 (2005)) is continued to use the diffusion layer technology in the solid polymer water electrolysis, and promptly adopting titanium materials such as sintered titanium plate, titanium foam, titanium net, titanium fiber is substrate.But adopt the titanium basalis merely and do not have the diffusion layer of microporous layers,, thereby reduce the performance of URFC because surface of metal titanium can constantly be oxidized to the very poor oxide-film of electric conductivity analysing under the oxygen condition.It is basalis that document (5) (S.Song, Electrochem.Commun., 8 (2006)) proposes with the carbon paper, IrO 2/ Ti makes microporous layers, has reported this URFC40 hour cycle life.But its used microporous layers material all is a catalyst, IrO 2The load amount up to 2.5mg/cm 2, cost an arm and a leg and prepare a large amount of IrO with suitable aperture 2The diffusion layer of/Ti is very difficult.
The latest result of combining nano ceramic technology of the present invention is introduced the URFC field with the intermetallic compound of electric conductivity excellence.At present, Shang Weiyou uses the relevant report of intermetallic compound as URFC diffusion layer raw material.
