Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of an ordered membrane electrode, belonging to the field of fuel cells and solid polymer water electrolysis cells.
Background
With the continuous development of technology and economy, the demand of human society for energy is continuously increased. A clean and efficient energy storage technology becomes a demand of all human beings. The increasingly deteriorating ecological environment forces people to increase research and development efforts.
Hydrogen has become a major research focus of governments and research institutes around the world as a clean, efficient energy carrier. The hydrogen production technology by electrolyzing alkali liquor is the mainstream technology of large-scale hydrogen production. But the electrolyte is easy to run off, and the used asbestos diaphragm is harmful to the environment, so that the technology is eliminated. Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) is a research hotspot due to its advantages of environmental friendliness, high hydrogen production purity, high energy efficiency, easy maintenance, and the like.
Fuel cells are highly efficient energy conversion devices that efficiently convert chemical energy stored in hydrogen gas into electrical energy. At present, fuel cells have been used in various fields such as electric vehicles, distributed power stations, and aviation. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are receiving wide attention due to their advantages of high power density, fast start-up speed, high conversion efficiency, environmental friendliness, etc.
The integrated renewable fuel cell is an assembly of a solid polymer water electrolysis cell and a fuel cell. When the battery is in the working mode of the solid polymer water electrolytic cell, Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) occurs on one side of the electrode, and the electrode becomes an anode; when the cell is in the fuel cell operating mode, an Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) occurs on the electrode side, with the electrode acting as the cathode. The integrated renewable fuel cell has the double functions and characteristics of a solid polymer electrolytic cell and a fuel cell, and is a high-efficiency device for storing and converting electric energy and hydrogen energy.

The Membrane Electrode is mainly classified into a Gas Diffusion Electrode (GDE), a Thin-Film coated Electrode (CCM), and an ordered Electrode represented by a nano-structured Thin Film (NSTF) of 3M company, usa. The GDE is prepared by adopting the processes of screen printing, electrostatic spraying and the like, catalyst slurry consisting of a catalyst, a water repellent and an organic solvent is brushed on a gas diffusion layer, and Naifon solution is sprayed on the surface of a catalyst layer after high-temperature treatment to realize the three-dimensional electrode; CCM is currently generally prepared by spraying, transferring and other processes, in which a slurry composed of a catalyst, an ion conductor resin and an organic solvent is sprayed onto a membrane, or the slurry is sprayed onto other carriers and then transferred onto the membrane to form a membrane-catalyst integrated electrode. The traditional CCM electrode and GDE electrode are mature in preparation process, but the catalyst layer of the electrode is large in thickness, and the catalyst is disorderly stacked, so that the catalyst is high in usage amount and low in catalyst utilization rate. In order to solve the problems of high precious metal consumption and low catalyst utilization rate of the fuel cell, the NSTF electrode developed by 3M company has the characteristics of microscopic order, low catalyst loading capacity and the like, and can effectively reduce mass transfer resistance and improve the utilization rate of the catalyst.
