Description

The hydrogen-oxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell cylindrical membrane electrode of band tapering
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of column type hydrogen-oxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell electrode structure.
Background technology:
21st century is century of energy scarcity, the exploitation of novel energy, the reasonable efficiency utilization of the existing energy has been become to the theme of development in this century.At present, the fossil energies such as the oil that the mankind depend on for existence, natural gas and coal are reducing increasingly, instead will be the renewable resources such as Hydrogen Energy, solar energy and wind energy.Meanwhile, owing to using the inefficient combustion of existing resource (as oil, natural gas and coal), both wasted the energy, also severe contamination was caused to environment, to become the major issue that must solve this century.
Fuel cell (Fuel Cells) is a kind of electrochemical Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT), and chemical energy can be directly electric energy by it.It is without heat engine process, therefore not by the restriction of Carnot cycle.Energy conversion efficiency high (40%-60%); Environmental friendliness, discharges nitrogen oxide and oxysulfide hardly; The discharge capacity of carbon dioxide also reduces more than 40% than conventional power plant.Just because of the superiority that these are outstanding, the research and development of fuel cell technology enjoys the attention of national governments and major company, is considered to the cleaning of 21 century first-selection, efficiently generation technology, becomes everybody and research and develop focus.
According to electrolytical difference, fuel cell (FC) one is divided into Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), alkaline fuel cell (AFC), phosphoric acid shape fuel cell (PAFC), molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), the large class of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) six.
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) except there is the general feature of fuel cell (as high in energy conversion efficiency, environmental friendliness etc.), also have simultaneously can start fast in room temperature, without electrolyte loss, the outstanding feature such as water is easily discharged, the life-span is long, specific power and energy height.Therefore, it is not only for building dispersion power station, is also suitablely especially used as removable power source, executes one of electric motor car and the ideal candidates power supply not relying on air push submarine, is the general a kind of Novel moveable power sources of military and civilian.
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells is through development for many years, its each side technology reaches its maturity, at present close to commercialization, the main aspect of research is still around planar fuel cells, and the kind of market upper flat plate formula fuel cell is also a lot, but this employing is by bipolar plates, the planar fuel cells of membrane electrode and catalyst composition, not only battery cost is very high, also has a lot of shortcoming: battery volume is large, weight is large, sealing difficulty, install loaded down with trivial details, because the runner of bipolar plates is narrow, a lot of difficulties is brought for hydro-thermal management, water balance is lost in battery, , battery operating voltage is caused sharply to decline, affect efficiency and the life-span of battery.The operation of pile needs the ancillary equipment such as pump, gas cylinder, air compressor machine, and for the conveying of fuel and shifting out of product, make stack system huge, volumetric specific power and quality compare power reduction.
For the deficiency of flat fuel cell, researcher proposes the PEMFC of other structure of design, as made the conception of tubular fuel cell (need not with the bipolar plates in flow field), to reach the ancillary equipment simplifying battery, the volumetric specific power of raising battery and quality are than power, reduction cost of manufacture, shortening manufacturing cycle, meet the load instructions for use that volume is little, lightweight, power requirement is not high, accelerate PEMFC commercializing fuel cells paces.
Flat fuel cell will be reached to make the tube-shaped proton exchanging film type fuel battery performance prepared, researcher has carried out large quantifier elimination to the battery of fuel tube, usual tube-shaped proton exchanging film type fuel cell, comprise membrane electrode (MEA) assembly, it has the electrolytic thin-membrane being formed as hollow shape and the catalyst layer be arranged in electrolytic thin-membrane on outside.React in single cells, such as, when the inner side supply hydrogen to membrane-electrode assemblies, and during to the outside oxygen gas-supplying of membrane-electrode assemblies, the electric power produced by electricity reaction is collected by the current-collector be arranged in MEA on outside respectively, then outputs to outside.Be arranged on upper current-collector inside membrane electrode assembly to be called " interior current-collector ", and the current-collector be arranged on outside membrane electrode assembly is called " outer current-collector ".That is, in tube-shaped proton exchanging film type fuel cell by supplying a kind of reacting gas (such as hydrogen) to the inner side of membrane-electrode assemblies, and supply another kind of reacting gas (such as oxygen) to the outside of membrane-electrode assemblies and generate electricity.Therefore, in tube-shaped proton exchanging film type fuel cell, the outer surface of two or more cells is exposed to and is supplied in the reacting gas of public space, thus different from the situation of flat proton exchange model fuel cell, tube-shaped proton exchanging film type fuel cell can obtain compact dimensionally.
Also some researcher works out tubular fuel cell at present, such as, Yu Rujun adopts and sprays on Nafion115 by catalyst, then cathode and anode diffusion layer is wound on a metal bar, adopt bending heat pressing process, carry out hot pressing with two circular dies and obtain tubular film electrode; The inner support of anode diffusion layer adopts stainless steel metal antipriming pipe, for storage and the runner of methanol solution; Adopt stainless steel spring to be fixed on cathode diffusion layer outside membrane electrode, obtain air-breathing direct methanol fuel cell (Direct methanol fuel cell, DMFC).But above method complex manufacturing technology, particularly cannot solve the close contact problem between pole plate and composite membrane.
For planar cells, by outside corrosion resistant plate, adopt screw bolt and nut, tightening nut method makes combining closely between membrane electrode, negative electrode, anode.And general cylindrical employing wound form method, the close contact problem between membrane electrode, negative electrode, anode cannot be solved.Particularly reaction is expanded after producing water, makes more easily to occur gap between film and electrode, greatly can reduce battery performance.
Summary of the invention:
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of rational in infrastructure, cylindrical membrane electrode that assembling is simple, composite membrane, anode, negative electrode can be combined closely, air-tightness is good hydrogen-oxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell is with tapering.
