Description

A kind of fuel cell apparatus for coating and coating process
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of apparatus for coating, relate in particular to a kind of fuel cell apparatus for coating and coating process.
Background technology
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) has advantages such as operating temperature is low, specific power is high, startup is fast, the life-span is long, pollution-free.Wherein membrane electrode (MEA) is its core component, and it is generally by the cathode and anode diffusion layer, and cathode and anode Catalytic Layer and PEM are formed, and it is to fuel cell performance, and stability, durability play a part crucial.
The preparation method of MEA mainly contains thick-layer hydrophobic electrode and two kinds of preparation methods of thin layer hydrophilic electrode.But the gas-diffusion electrode in PEMFC and the general electrochmical power source has very big difference, because of its electrolyte is solid-state ionomer (ionomer), and non-electrolytic solution.Therefore can not make electrolyte infiltrate the inside of porous electrode by means of the surface tension of solution, form three-dimensional reaction zone.In order to make reacting gas reach the surface of eelctro-catalyst through ionomer; Should enlarge ionomer and the contact surface of electrocatalyst particles in the Catalytic Layer as much as possible; The i.e. three-dimensional reaction interval of expansion forms the continuous passage of proton, electronics and reacting gas, will improve ionomer and the interface continuity between the ionomer in the Catalytic Layer in the amberplex simultaneously; Could fully improve the utilization rate of catalyst like this, reduce the resistance of various transmittance process again.Research through research pole catalyze layer dipping different content Nafion shows that when Nafion content was on the low side, the part catalyst failed to contact with Nafion, and catalyst surface does not have ion,
Cause this part catalyst inoperative, catalyst utilization is low, and works as the interior Nafion content of Catalytic Layer for a long time; Unnecessary Nafion can be filled in the gas passage of Catalytic Layer on the one hand, has increased the gas transfer resistance, on the one hand; Too much Nafion can increase the proton exchange film thickness, increases the proton transfer resistance, has improved the internal resistance of cell; Cause battery performance to descend, it is important therefore how uniformly the Nafion layer to be coated on the ten minutes that shows in the Catalytic Layer.
Mentioned the theory of Nafion three-dimensional in the Catalytic Layer in the U.S. Pat 5211984 first, not mentioned for how realizing three-dimensional.Mentioned Nafion three-dimensional coating mainly is to realize through the mode of brushing in other relevant documents and materials, promptly uses soft hairbrush to dip in a little Nafion solution for preparing and brushes on the Catalytic Layer surface.
Owing to lack heating and fixture, and feed must adopt pipette in the apparatus for coating that generally adopts in the prior art, occur phenomenons such as feed and uneven drying be even easily, and carbon paper is difficult for fixing.
Summary of the invention

Described painting cloth-knife has the electrodeless variable-speed function, can adjust the coating height, also can adjust the coating height through height adjustment knob is set on painting cloth-knife.
Traditional fuel cell apparatus for coating is owing to adopt pipette to carry out feed, and the feed amount is wayward, if fluid flow is too much; To make slip infiltrate into the coating substrate back, have a strong impact on the coating effect, thereby reduce battery performance; And cause the even phenomenon of crawling easily, feeding device of the present invention is through peristaltic pump slip to be transported in the said conduit; And then through the liquid distributor outflow; Can realize accurate control as required, can guarantee effectively that slip is coated on the coating substrate equably the feed amount, and uniform feeding.
Said liquid distributor linearly shape is arranged, and itself and said painting cloth-knife junction have cavity portion, are used to store slip, and the outflow portion of its underpart is column structure.
A kind of coating process of fuel cell comprises:
1) prepare a certain amount of slip, the back that stirs is for use;
2) open heater switch, the temperature of adjusting said platform is 50~80 ℃, will be coated with substrate and put
On platform, fix through the vacuum suction hole; Regulate the height knob of painting cloth-knife, make its height at 250~550 μ m;
3) start feeding device, the adjusting feeding speed is 2~10mL/min, and slip is dropped on coating substrate one lateral edges through liquid distributor, and regulating painting cloth-knife speed is 1~4m/min, begins coating, when painting cloth-knife arrives coating substrate opposite side, stops coating.
Described slip can be a Nafion solution, and described coating substrate can be an electrode.
But coating process of the present invention is not limited to Nafion solution three-dimensional electrode, also can be used for the preparation of gas diffusion layers and Catalytic Layer.
