Description

Functionalized graphene/Nafion composite proton exchange membrane and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a fuel cell proton exchange membrane and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a functionalized graphene/Nafion composite proton exchange membrane and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) are a clean and efficient green and environment-friendly power supply, have the characteristics of high efficiency, zero pollution and the like, and are widely concerned all over the world. The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) is the core component of the PEMFC, and its proton conductivity directly determines the cell performance. Nafion is used as the most advanced proton exchange membrane, is a perfluorosulfonic acid polymer proton exchange membrane, has the advantages of high conductivity, good electrochemical and chemical stability, low gas permeability and the like, and is widely used for proton exchange membrane fuel cells. However, the proton conductivity of the Nafion membrane is very dependent on water and temperature, and proton transmission channels can be collapsed and collapsed under anhydrous or low-humidity conditions and high temperature, so that the proton conductivity is obviously reduced. In addition, when the Nafion membrane is used in a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC), fuel methanol permeates seriously, and methanol molecules easily pass through an ion cluster network along with water molecules and penetrate to a cathode, so that not only is fuel wasted, but also normal reaction of the cathode is interfered, and the efficiency of the DMFC is obviously reduced. Therefore, the development of a high proton conductivity, low fuel permeability PEM is critical for large-scale applications of PEMFCs. Studies have shown that the incorporation of inorganic fillers into the Nafion membrane matrix can help in proton conduction by adjusting the microphase separation structure in the membrane matrix.
Graphene is a two-dimensional material composed of sp2 hybridized and connected carbon atom layers, and the special structure of the single atom layer makes the graphene have many unique physicochemical properties, such as high modulus, high strength, high-speed electron mobility at room temperature, high specific surface area, high thermal conductivity and the like. The excellent performances enable the graphene to have bright application prospects in the fields of nano electronic devices, sensors, energy storage, composite materials and the like. Graphene is hydrophobic and is difficult to disperse in water and common organic solvents. Therefore, in order to fully exert the excellent properties of graphene and improve the dispersibility of graphene in a Nafion matrix, it is necessary to functionally modify graphene.
