Description

A kind of new gas diffusion layer and preparation and application that is used for fuel cell
Technical field
The present invention proposes a kind of new gas diffusion layer and preparation method who is used for fuel cell.The diplopore that constitutes diffusion layer by the hydrophobic macropore of the hydrophilic aperture of nm level and um level on this diffuse layer structure microcosmic distributes, and this structure helps realizing gas diffusion layers draining efficiently and air guide function.The porosity of gas diffusion layers and aperture present the anisotropy distribution on the whole on the macroscopic view, and this distribution more can improve the mass transfer and the electrical efficiency of diffusion layer.Diffusion layer be that asymmetric coniform hole distributes on the direction that is being parallel to proton exchange membrane then is that uniform porous distributes on perpendicular to the direction of proton exchange membrane.Thereby the invention discloses and a kind ofly use variety classes and the layering of particle diameter pore creating material to prepare the gas diffusion layers technology of preparing that microporous layers realizes that porosity and aperture can accurately be controlled.
Background technology
Fuel cell is a kind of electrochemical appliance that chemical energy is converted into electric energy, Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells is wherein a kind of, it is normally by proton exchange membrane, the two sides of film all joins with the Catalytic Layer that contains the catalytic activity component, and the outside of Catalytic Layer is to be the gas diffusion layers of main component by carbon paper or carbon cloth.The outside again of gas diffusion layers is to be equipped with to have the bipolar plates of gas flow channel and satisfactory electrical conductivity, and when fueling and oxidant, the gas diffusion layers with afflux performance conducts the current to external circuit.
As seen its core reaction of fuel cell relates to the gas-liquid-solid three-phase electrocatalytic reaction, and this reaction relates to the transmittance process of three kinds of materials again: the transmission of (1) gas, aqueous water.(2) transmission of reacting gas.(3) migration of electronics.The effect of gas diffusion layers is exactly to realize above-mentioned three kinds of critical components that transmittance process carries out smoothly, the transmission performance of gas diffusion layers is a key factor that influences Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) performance, especially battery is when low pressure/normal pressure service conditions or high current density discharge, and it is particularly outstanding that the influence of three kinds of material Transfer seems.Above-mentioned preceding two kinds of transmittance processs all are to carry out in certain micro channel, the migration of electronics needs diffusion layer that the good conductive ability is arranged, the factor that influences these three kinds of transmittance processs influences each other again, mutual restriction, therefore to porosity, the pore structure of diffusion layer, the research of pore size distribution is a very important job.Gas diffusion layers is made of three kinds of components usually: 1) diffusion layer skeleton supporter such as carbon paper, carbon cloth, carbon felt or wire netting, 2) conductive fine powder such as carbon dust/graphite powder, 3) hydrophober such as PTFE/PVF2 etc., in order to realize this three kinds of transmittance processs, need be to influencing the various influencing factors of diffusion layer performance, conductive fine powder such as carbon dust, hydrophober such as PTFE/PVF2 content, diffusion layer supporter such as carbon paper type, the porosity of diffusion layer, pore structure, the grade of pore size distribution is done a large amount of systematic researches.
In the research in the past, the hydrophobic gas-diffusion electrode of most of fuel cells uses polytetrafluoroethylene resin (PTFE) as hydrophober and adhesive, and this polymer has high thermal stability and high chemically-resistant degradation property.Yet, PTFE is not dissolved in any known appearance agent, therefore must use with form of suspension, this makes the method for making gas diffusion layers become complicated and difficult, in particular, when PTFE is used as the adhesive of gas diffusion layers, be difficult to structure, porosity and the pore size of control gaseous diffusion layer among the general preparation method.Certainly, the hydrophober that the hydrophobic gas-diffusion electrode also can be used other is Kynoar resin (PVF2) for example, the polyvinylidene fluoride allyl resin, low-molecular-weight fluoropolymers such as poly-inclined to one side fluorine vinyl chloride resin, but the hydrophobicity of these materials and chemical stability and thermal stability are all not as PTFE.
Be coated on diffusion layer skeleton supporter such as the carbon paper after the gas-diffusion electrode of hydrophobic type fuel cell uses PTFE and carbon dust or graphite powder to mix usually, PTFE is as adhesive and hydrophober.U.S. Patent No. 4,847,173 have described PTFE and other polymer mixed with carbon and have prepared the big method of gas diffusion layers.U.S. Patent No. 3,899,354 have described the gaseous diffusion layer method of another kind of preparation carbon and PTFE or other polymer, and it is that the suspension of the mixture of PTFE and carbon is sprayed onto heat-agglomerating then on the carbon paper.U.S. Patent No. 8,697,582 have described another kind of preparation gas-diffusion electrode method, activated carbon and Kynoar resin (PVF2) or other polymer are dissolved in organic solvent obtain mixture, this mixture is coated on the diffusion layer skeleton carbon paper, the diffusion layer of following of low temperature preparation is put in the non-solvent of PVF2 with the wet phase inversion mode formation porous gas diffusion layer of condensing, this method step is a lot, use toxic solvents, unfavorable environmental protection, this method is difficult to pore structure, porosity and the pore size of accurate control gaseous diffusion layer.
Up to the present, the technology of preparing of gas diffusion layers does not also obtain due attention, general patent and article are most of mixed to saying together diffusion layer and Catalytic Layer, and special argumentation diffuse layer structure and preparation technology are seldom arranged.From the conventional as can be known gas diffusion layers preparation method of existing document is that above-mentioned carbon dust and simple mixing of two kinds of components of hydrophober are coated on diffusion layer supporter such as the carbon paper, also there are some researchers in above-mentioned leveling material, to add some pore creating materials, but to three kinds of components constituting gas diffusion layers spatial distribution how, how draining, conduction, three kinds of functions of gas transmission realize also lacking the theory analysis of system.
Summary of the invention
The present invention proposes a kind of gaseous diffusion layer structure efficiently at first theoretically, porosity, pore structure, pore size distribution formation to diffusion layer have been carried out the argumentation of system, division of functionality has been carried out in the diffusion layer diplopore distribution that is made of aperture and macropore, indicated the effect and the structure condition of hydrophilic aperture and hydrophobic macropore.The present invention proposes by using variety classes and the layering of particle diameter pore creating material to prepare the new gas diffusion layer technology of preparing that microporous layers realizes that porosity and aperture and pore structure can accurately be controlled again for realizing that above-mentioned diffuse layer structure has indicated concrete preparation technology.
