Background
Fuel cells are promising new power sources, generally using hydrogen, carbon, methanol, borohydride, gas or natural gas as fuel, as the negative electrode, and oxygen in air as the positive electrode. The main difference between the battery and the general battery is that the active material of the general battery is pre-placed inside the battery, and thus the battery capacity depends on the amount of the active material stored; while the active materials (fuel and oxidant) of the fuel cell are continuously supplied while reacting, such a cell is actually only an energy conversion device. The battery has the advantages of high conversion efficiency, large capacity, high specific energy, wide power range, no need of charging and the like.
The Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) is one of the most important parts of a hydrogen fuel cell, and is composed of a fuel Cell Chip (CCM), a Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) and the like, and the working principle of the membrane electrode assembly is that hydrogen and oxygen positioned at two sides of an electrode are subjected to electrochemical reaction through the electrocatalytic action of a cathode and an anode and the proton conductivity of a proton exchange membrane to generate electric energy.
Among them, the fuel cell chip (CCM, catalyst coated membrane) is a catalyst/proton exchange membrane assembly prepared by coating a fuel cell catalyst on both sides of a proton exchange membrane. The gas diffusion layers (GDL, gas Diffusion Layer) are key components of the fuel cell, and are typically composed of carbon paper or carbon cloth, and mainly serve as mass transfer, electrical conduction, heat transfer, support for the catalytic layer, and water conduction, and at the same time, serve as a medium for diffusing hydrogen/oxygen or methanol/air into the catalytic layer for reaction, and thus must be porous and breathable materials.
