Description

A kind of structure-integrated method for preparing membrane electrode of 3D
Technical field
The invention belongs to hydrogen fuel cell and SPE water electrolysis technical field, in particular to a kind of 3D knot without additional diaphragm Structure integrated film electrode preparation method.
Background technique
Membrane electrode (Membrane Electrode Assemblies, MEA) is Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells and SPE electricity Multiphase mass transfer is carried out in solution slot and electrochemical reaction place, performance decide the work of SPE electrolytic cell or fuel cell Performance, service life and cost.Membrane electrode is mainly prepared by catalyst, proton exchange membrane and its solution, gas diffusion layers, Preparation process is always the core technology of electrochemical field.Study high-performance, long-life and low-cost membrane electrode technology of preparing pair It is had a very important significance in quickening SPE electrolytic cell and commercializing fuel cells process.Efficient Pt base catalyst is being developed, is being adjusted The exposure crystal face (111) of whole Pt nanocrystal prepares more metallic nano crystals of the alloy of Pt, nucleocapsid, branch or inhomogeneous structure Body is conducive to improve film electricity with metal cluster, molecule, ion, organic or inorganic compound Modified Platinum nano grain surface etc. Pole electrochemical reaction activity, the active platinum base of high quality is porous/and hollow structure nanoparticle catalyst is concerned.It is urged in improvement In terms of the durability of agent, focuses primarily upon and research and develop high-graphitized carbon material (such as carbon fiber, carbon pipe, graphite are dilute) conduct Pt based catalyst carrier.But only improve the cost of SPE electrolytic cell or fuel cell and durable from the raw material such as catalyst angle Property problem is also far from enough, because the membrane electrode by catalyst preparation must also take into account electrochemical reaction three phase boundary and electricity The mass transfer microchannel of son, proton, gas and water etc. is multifactor, could obtain best power generation performance, therefore, membrane electrode material and system The integrated and innovation of standby technique prepares high-performance membrane electrode significant.
General Electric Company the 1960s is using platinum black as catalyst, and membrane electrode Pt carrying capacity was more than at that time 4mg/cm2;In the early 1990s, Los Alamos National Laboratories, the U.S. (LANL) replace platinum using pallium-on-carbon (Pt/C) After black ink (Ink) manufacturing process, so that the Pt carrying capacity of membrane electrode exponentially reduces, which generally adopts so far With;After 2000, low temperature, all solid state membrane electrode technology are graduallyd mature, so that using the electrochemical appliance entering surface of membrane electrode To the stage of Demonstration Application.Develop along with membrane electrode decades, membrane electrode technology experienced several generations innovation, can be generally divided into Pressure sintering, CCM (Catalyst Coating Membrane) method and ordering membrane electrode three types, as shown in table 1.First Generation is that the catalyst pulp for mixing catalyst, PTFE emulsion or Nafion solution with alcohols solvent is prepared into gas diffusion layers Form electrode on the Multifunctional layered of (GDL, Gas Diffusion Layer), then by proton exchange membrane be clipped in two layers of electrode it Between carry out hot pressing at membrane electrode, i.e. pressure sintering, this method Catalytic Layer is thicker, and pt utilization is low;The second generation is to lead to Catalytic Layer Cross transfer printing or direct spraying method be prepared on proton exchange membrane two sides, formed CCM three in one membreane electrode, this method Catalytic Layer compared with Thin (generally at 10 μm or less), CCM preparation process has been widely adopted, and is the commercialization preparation method of current mainstream.Due to The exchange current density (10 of H/Pt-3A.cm-2) it is O/Pt (10-9A.cm-2) about 1000 times, and electrochemical reaction process is different, because This membrane electrode Anodic and cathode often use asymmetric design, if cathode Pt carrying capacity is usually the several times of anode carrying capacity, simultaneously Nafion content, pore-size, additional functional layer are different in anode and cathode, to reach promotion oxygen reduction reaction, prevent water It floods and dries up, reduce concentration polarization, increase endurance quality, improve the effect of generated output density and reduce Pt dosage.
