Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to methanol concentration sensor technical fields, more particularly to one kind to be used for direct methanol fuel cell system
Concentration sensor and application the concentration sensor detection direct methanol fuel cell system methanol concentration method.
Background technique
Direct alcohol fuel cell (DAFC) is directly to turn the chemical energy being stored in alcohols (methanol, ethyl alcohol etc.) fuel
It is melted into the device of electric energy, has the characteristics that specific energy is high, pollution-free, radiationless, easy to carry, safe and reliable, in mobile power source
Etc. have broad application prospects.Specific energy height is one of considerable advantage of DAFC, such as the theoretical specific energy of methanol reaches
To 6,000Wh/kg or more.Energy density can be greatlyd improve using neat liquid fuel-feed, but due to alcohols (especially first
Alcohol) cathode can be penetrated by proton exchange membrane, cause battery performance to reduce, therefore mostly use the aqueous solution of low concentration at present
For fuel.From the point of view of state-of-the art, pure fuel can be still carried, is only needed before entering battery pack by fuel concentration
It is adjusted to predetermined concentration.Therefore the sensor that alcohol concentration can be measured becomes the Primary Component of DAFC system.
The sensor for being applicable in alcohols detection mostly uses greatly the mode of feulcell prototype.The sensor is similar to a fuel electricity
Chi Danchi.Because its material structure is much like with DAFC membrane electrode, there is advantage in terms of industrialization.Wherein, constant electricity is worked in
The drive mode sensor of pressure has response signal strong, and concentration range is wide, the advantages such as service life length.Its working principle is that: in film electricity
Apply the constant potential that can make methanol that electrochemical oxidation reactions occur on the anode of polar set body (MEA).Methanol solution can be with
Anode catalyst layer is directly reached by anode feed, can also be fed by cathode, reaches anode through proton exchange membrane.No matter which
Kind mode will be loaded with the electrode surface generation electrochemical oxidation of the noble metal catalysts such as Pt by reaching after appropriate barrier layer.
Limiting diffusion current is generated due to there is barrier layer, methanol concentration can be measured by measuring the limiting diffusion current.MEA
Oxidation reaction occurs for anode-side methanol, and MEA cathode side generates hydrogen.Form dynamic hydrogen reference electrode.

Document 1, (Barton, J.Electrochem.Soc., 145 (1998), 3783) report a kind of logical based on methanol
Cross the sensor of dielectric film infiltration.Measuring principle is based on drive mode: alcohols is flowed through from MEA cathode side, and a small amount of alcohol passes through
Dielectric film is diffused into anode, and in anode electrochemical oxidation occurs for methanol.Cathode has hydrogen to generate to form Quasi dynamic hydrogen reference electricity
Pole.For the interference cleaned anode He prevent oxygen in air, anode chamber is constantly passed through inert gas (such as nitrogen).
Document 2, (patent WO0246733) utilize the saturating alcohol characteristic of film, and it is dense to reach measurement alcohols by measuring its extreme current
The purpose of degree.It is proposed a kind of structure of cathode charging.In order to avoid the interference of oxygen in air, which makes anode be in closing
State.
Document 3, (United States Patent (USP) US6,306,285B1) report a kind of immersion methanol sensor.Its measuring principle is:
The two sides MEA are all immersed in methanol solution.Under externally-applied potential electrochemical oxidation occurs for the methanol for being diffused into anode catalyst layer
Reaction occurs reduction in the other side and generates hydrogen.Reinforce barrier layer in anode-side (if densely Toray carbon paper is as diffusion layer)
Make to form limit diffusion.Achieve the purpose that measure alcohol concentration by the measurement to carrying current.
Although approach described above can achieve the purpose that measure alcohol concentration, in the side such as stability, measurement range
Face all Shortcomings.Using the Methanol permeability of dielectric film, in catalyst layer electrochemical oxidation occurs for the methanol for being diffused into anode
Effect, inevitable part methanol can be diffused into the positions such as diffusion layer or even afflux flow field formed it is secondary diffusion cause to measure
Inaccuracy.The way that document 1 proposes is to be passed through the inert gases such as nitrogen to be purged.This certainly will make system become it is complicated so that
It is difficult to realize.Although the structure that document 2 proposes overcomes the interference of oxygen in air, but still the accumulation that there are methanol in flow field
With secondary diffusion problem.Secondary diffusion problem is not present in the structure that document 3 proposes, but since MEA cathode side is to be immersed in alcohols
In solution, alcohols inevitably passes through dielectric film and spreads to anode-side, is formed and is interfered to measurement result.In addition the structure by
In anode feed, easily there is concentration saturated phenomenon.Although the above method can measure methanol concentration from principle, each comfortable real
There is a problem of in the application of border obvious.

Disclosed a kind of alcohol concentration biography for direct alcohol fuel cell system by the moon 22, Authorization Notice No. CN100427945C
Sensor forms double MEA (membrane electrode assembly) structures as sensor by folder anode collector among two same MEA components
Core component；MEA structure of the present invention does not need additional inert fluid cleaning sun due to making anode be in centre using symmetrical structure
Pole.While widening measurement range compared with single MEA structure, sensitivity, stability are improved.Single MEA component cathode plane
The long-pending non-structure that piles for being 1: 1-10 with annode area ratio can be with the current density of relative reduction anode.The concentration for weakening anode is full
With.In addition, the structure of compound MEA makes flexible access of the sensor in flow path, it is suitble to the real-time detection of alcohol concentration in flow path.
But a disadvantage is that MEA structure and unstable, influences, state is to alcohol concentration test result vulnerable to dry and wet state, adion
