Description

A kind of gas diffusion layers and its production and use
Technical field
The present invention relates to electrochemical reaction appts, particularly, relate to a kind of gas diffusion layers and its production and use.
Background technology
The electrode of fuel cell, electrolytic cell, super capacitor is a kind of gas-diffusion electrode of porous, generally is made up of diffusion layer and catalyst layer.Different diffusion layer materials has very big influence for structure, manufacture craft and the performance of electrode.
Arrive catalyst layer such as fuel gas in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells through anode diffusion layer, under the effect of catalyst, electrode reaction takes place, promptly
H 2-2H+2e
The electronics that this electrode reaction produces arrives negative electrode by the conduction flow of diffusion layer through external circuit, and hydrogen ion arrives negative electrode under the effect of proton exchange membrane simultaneously.Oxygen generates water by with hydrogen ion and electronics electrode reaction taking place under catalyst action behind the cathode diffusion layer, that is:
1/2O 2+2H+2e-H 2O
There is (temperature and pressure that depends on battery) (Ersoz A in water in the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) with gaseous state and liquid state, Olgun H, Ozdogan S.et al., J.Power Sources.2003,118 (1-2): 384-392), dilutional hyponatremia or very few performance to PEMFC all can be brought negative effect (Huang Naike, Wang Shuzhong, power technology, 2003,27 (3): 329-332).
Gas diffusion layers not only plays a part support catalyst layer, stabilized electrodes structure in electrode, also possess the multiple function that gas passage, electron channel and drainage channel are provided for electrode reaction.Select for use high performance gas diffusion layer material to help improving combination property (JAMESL, the ANDREW D.Fuel cell systems explained.England:John Wiley﹠amp of electrode; Sons Ltd., 2000.66-69).Desirable diffusion layer should possess 3 characteristics: air permeability and good, good drainage and good electrical conductivity.General gas diffusion layers is made up of base material and transition zone.In multiple base material, the charcoal fibrous paper has uniform porous matter laminate structure and excellent conductivity, chemical stability and thermal stability, be diffusion layer material (Thomas T O, Glendale, the HiroshiI that is most widely used in the fuel cell, et al., US:3829327,1974. and Teruaki Kitago, Tadaaki Yoshida, US:3998689,1976).Transition zone is known as intermediate layer (Shao Zhigang again, the clothing treasured is honest and clean, Han Ming etc., electrochemistry, 2000,6 (3): 317-323.), its adding has realized reacting gas and the reallocation of product between flow field and Catalytic Layer, for strengthening conductivity, improve electrode performance, battery operation stability and service life and played important function.
People such as L.R.Jordan (JORDAN L R, SHUKLA A K, BEHRSING T, et al., J.Power Sources, 2000,86:250-254.) powdered carbon is mixed with the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) emulsion, add an amount of solvent, utilize ultrasonic wave that it is uniformly dispersed, it is sprayed on the positive and negative surface of base material equably, the oven dry back is in 300~350 ℃ of about 30min of following sintering, make the PTFE fusion remove surfactant simultaneously, obtain hydrophobic material at last by PTFE bonding charcoal and basilar fibers.The powdered carbon that adds plays the effect that strengthens conductivity on the one hand, is used for filling the macropore between the fiber in the base material on the other hand, makes surfacing and even aperture distribution.The mass ratio of PTFE and carbon black was good between 20: 80 and 50: 50 in the coating liquid, and coating layer thickness is between 0.010~0.254mm, and the content of PTFE is 10%~50%.
In the research of PEMFC diffusion layer, people such as Xu Hongfeng, Tian Ying are coated with the mixture of one deck XC-72R charcoal and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as regulating course on the carbon paper of crossing through hydrophobic treatment.Shao Zhigang, clothing are precious honest and clean etc. (Shao Zhigang, the clothing treasured is honest and clean, Han Ming etc., electrochemistry, 2000,6 (3): 317-323). and with water or ethanol as solvent, it is 1: 1 solution that carbon black and PTFE are made into mass ratio, mixes the back as regulating course.People such as Chan Lim (LIM C.WANG C Y., Electrochimica Acta, 2004,49 (24): 4149-4156.) studied the influence of PTFE content and thickness of diffusion layer.People such as Giorgi (JORDAN L R, SHUKLA A K, BEHRSING T., Journal of PowerSources.2000.86:250-254.) think the porosity of diffusion layer that increased in the diffusion layer PTFE content influence.People such as L.R.Jordan (KONG C S, KIM D Y, LEE H K, et al., Journal of Power Sources, 2002,108:185-191.) think that the oarse-grained acetylene black of use replaces Vulcan XC 72R charcoal can improve the performance of battery.People such as Chang Sun Kong add pore creating material and improve mass transfer problem in the battery in the PEMFC diffusion layer.
M.Watanabe (the WAT ANABE M. of Japan, US:5137754,1992.) etc. the people invented a kind of new hydrophobic processing method, with mean molecule quantity is that 250000 polyethylene is dissolved in the heptane, be made into a kind of film forming solution, with base material, immerse wherein as the charcoal fibrous paper, treat that heptane volatilization back formation mass fraction on carbon paper is 5% PE coating, then this carbon paper with polyethylene coating is put into stainless steel reactor, at room temperature condition, contain in the fluorine gas atmosphere of 10% argon gas and fluoridize about 30min, the hydrophobic material of obtained performance excellence.The hydrophobicity performance of relatively finding the hydrophobic material that makes than the method for flooding with the PTFE emulsion with this hydrophobic processing method by experiment is better.
After base material made charcoal/PTFE coating, find that aperture does not wherein have hydrophobicity, because those apertures of PTFE molecular proportion are big 10~100 times.Thereby when the spraying noble metal catalyst, can find the phenomenon of osmosis of noble metal, cause the reduction of catalyst utilization, therefore need further make hydrophobic and handle those apertures.V.K.KARL (KARL V K., US:3899354,1975.) uses the benzinum weak solution of 1.5% paraffin wax to handle to the carbon paper after the coating, and baking 30min under 50 ℃ can make the aperture in the coating possess effective hydrophobicity again.Perhaps use the acetone soln of 2.0% cellulose acetate to handle, also can obtain good aperture hydrophobic effect.
Another kind of hydrophobic processing method by the invention of research institute of Japanese Toyota is base material to be exposed to a kind of in plasma treated charcoal fluorine compound gas, makes surface deposition one deck hydrophobic material.Yet this method need design main equipment especially, is not suitable for large-scale production.
In order to simplify production technology, and make the aperture in the base material also obtain hydrophobicity, Gu Jun etc. (Gu Jun, Yu Tao etc., ZL200710019376.7) be made into dispersion liquid with carbon black powders and PTFE or PVDF, base material be placed on to flood in the dispersion liquid then and obtain the better gas diffusion layer.
Though above technical process makes substrate material surface become smooth, can not avoid catalyst to penetrate in the base material fully, because aperture or too big, or too little, cause the moisture that the reacting gas diffusional resistance increases or reaction generates to be difficult to discharge.
