Description

Modification perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange film, its preparation method and direct methanol fuel cell membrane electrode and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of fuel cell technology, particularly a kind of modification perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange film, its preparation method and direct methanol fuel cell membrane electrode and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
As a kind of clean and efficient energy transition equipment, in decades, fuel cell obtains the extensive research of people always.Along with energy crisis appears in the whole world, fuel cell is paid close attention to being subject to emphasis especially, and people mainly wish the energy demand by adopting fuel cell to meet the whole world.In various dissimilar fuel cell, direct methanol fuel cell (DMFCs) belongs to Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, it directly uses methyl alcohol for fuel, oxygen or air are oxidant, operation principle is: at the anode of membrane electrode, electrochemical oxidation reactions is there is in methyl alcohol under the effect of catalyst, generate carbon dioxide, proton and electronics, the proton produced moves to the negative electrode of membrane electrode through the proton exchange membrane of membrane electrode, and at negative electrode and oxygen water generation reaction under the effect of catalyst, electronics is delivered to negative electrode by external circuit, release electric energy simultaneously, can externally do work.Direct methanol fuel cell has the advantages that production process is simple and energy efficiency is higher, therefore be it is believed that it is the clean energy resource being rich in development prospect most.
But, commercial applications direct methanol fuel cell is still faced with many problems, such as, the cathode oxidation caused to negative electrode because of crossover of methanol can make that the activity of cathod catalyst reduces, the crossover of methanol of anode catalyst to the low activity of methanol oxidation and proton exchange membrane is too high.Wherein, crossover of methanol is particularly serious to the problem of negative electrode.Because crossover of methanol can produce mixed potential at negative electrode usually; reduce Energy transmission efficiency; result also in the poisoning of cathod catalyst simultaneously; and methyl alcohol through the utilance that also greatly can reduce fuel; and then reduce the operating efficiency of direct methanol fuel cell; so solving the crossover of methanol problem of proton exchange membrane is the practical key point of direct methanol fuel cell.
At present, perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange film, as Nafion film, has higher proton conductivity and stability because of it and is widely used in DMFCs the most.It is determined by its special Structure and form that Nafion film has excellent battery performance, in Nafion film, polytetrafluoro skeleton structure assembles formation hydrophobic region due to extremely strong hydrophobic effect, sulfonic acid group is due to strong hydrophilic interaction gathering formation ion cluster, form super hydrophilic region, make to form micro phase separation structure in film.By little angle and wide-angle x-ray diffraction, the micro-structural to Nafion film is studied the people such as Gierke, establishes ion cluster network configuration (cluster-network) model, and as shown in Figure 1, Fig. 1 is the microstructure of hygrometric state Nafion film.As shown in Figure 1, Nafion film is when absorbing water saturation condition, and carbon fluorine main chain forms certain crystalline phase hydrophobic region, containing sulfonic side chain due to hydrophilic and form water core reverse micelle ion cluster.Under moisture-saturated state, the diameter of ion cluster is about 4nm, bunch and bunch between distance be about 5nm, due to swelling action, the ion channel diameter formed between bunch is about 1nm, and hydrone enters into the hydrophilic region in film, thus forms the duct of proton transport.But the crossover of methanol of Nafion film is too high, the commercialization requirement of DMFCs can not be met well.

It can thus be appreciated that, use identical electrode composition, when methanol concentration is 3M, because concentration is lower, can there is mass transfer polarization at Dicharged at High Current Desity, M1 is owing to have employed PBI-Nafion film, alcohol-rejecting ability improves, and causes methyl alcohol under-supply, and makes its performance lower than M4; When methanol concentration is 10M, because concentration is higher, crossover of methanol is more, so the performance of M1 and M4 all decreases, but M1 is owing to have employed PBI-Nafion film, and alcohol-rejecting ability improves, and its maximum power density is higher than M4.
According to the method for embodiment 1, adopt pure methyl alcohol and concentration to be the methanol solution of 2M respectively, the open circuit voltage of the battery that test is provided with M4 at 25 DEG C when discharging and limiting current density, test result is see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.As seen from Figure 4, use identical electrode composition, when adopting pure methanol feeding, crossover of methanol is very serious, adopts the open circuit voltage of the battery of M4 to reduce gradually in time, and always lower than the open circuit voltage of the battery of employing M1.As seen from Figure 5, use identical electrode composition, when adopting 2M methanol feeding, the limiting current density adopting the battery of M4 is 46mA/cm 2.The size of limiting current density can be used to reflect crossover of methanol number, the crossover of methanol being further illustrated M1 by Fig. 5 is less than M4, thus shows that the alcohol-rejecting ability of PBI-Nafion film is improved.
Embodiment 2
Outside " Nafion film is put into described lysate, places 12h under vacuum, obtain PBI-Nafion film semi-finished product " this step, all the other are identical with the method for embodiment 1, prepare membrane electrode (by this membrane electrode called after M2).
M2 is arranged in a set of passive direct methanol fuel cell, according to the performance of method of testing test battery mentioned above.As shown in Figure 6, Fig. 6 is the discharge voltage of the direct methanol fuel cell that obtains of embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 when 3M methyl alcohol and power density curve chart to test result.In figure 6, abscissa is discharge current density, and main ordinate is discharge voltage, and secondary ordinate is power density.
As seen from Figure 6, use identical electrode composition, when methanol concentration is 3M, the maximum power density adopting the battery of M1 is 25.5mW/cm 2, the maximum power density adopting the battery of M2 is 21.6mW/cm 2and the open circuit voltage of M1 is higher than the open circuit voltage of M2, but, when Dicharged at High Current Desity, the performance of M1 is larger than the hydraulic performance decline amplitude of M2, and this causes its methyl alcohol under-supply caused because M1 has higher alcohol-rejecting ability, illustrates the processing time of Nafion film longer, PBI fills comparatively abundant, and alcohol-rejecting ability improves further.
Embodiment 3
Outside " Nafion film is put into described lysate, places 36h under vacuum, obtain PBI-Nafion film semi-finished product " this step, all the other are identical with the method for embodiment 1, prepare membrane electrode (by this membrane electrode called after M3).
M3 is arranged in a set of passive direct methanol fuel cell, according to the performance of method of testing test battery mentioned above.As shown in Figure 7, Fig. 7 is the discharge voltage of the direct methanol fuel cell that obtains of embodiment 1 and embodiment 3 when 3M methyl alcohol and power density curve chart to test result.In the figure 7, abscissa is discharge current density, and main ordinate is discharge voltage, and secondary ordinate is power density.
As seen from Figure 7, use identical electrode composition, when methanol concentration is 3M, the maximum power density adopting the battery of M1 is 25.5mW/cm 2, the maximum power density adopting the battery of M3 is 26.6mW/cm 2, power density is more or less the same, and the open circuit voltage of M1 and M3 is also similar, illustrates the processing time of Nafion film long, and PBI fills and reaches capacity, and alcohol-rejecting ability reaches the highest.
From above embodiment and comparative example, the modification perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange film adopting the inventive method to prepare has excellent alcohol-rejecting ability, can ensure higher proton conductivity simultaneously, be beneficial to the raising of battery performance.
