Description

Online testing method for resin content of catalyst layer of fuel cell
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a method for representing the content of resin in a catalytic layer of a fuel cell on line.
Background
In recent years, fuel cells have been widely used in the fields of transportation, portable power supplies and the like due to the advantages of environmental friendliness, high energy conversion rate, low-temperature quick start and the like, and have a very broad development prospect. The performance, durability and stability of mass production process of a Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) as a core component of a fuel cell are one of the key factors determining whether the fuel cell can be commercially produced and applied in a large scale.
The membrane electrode mainly comprises a proton exchange membrane, a catalyst layer and a gas diffusion layer. The catalytic layer is a key component for determining the performance of the membrane electrode as a place for generating electrochemical reaction. Typically, the catalytic layer is composed of an electrocatalyst and a certain amount of resin solution. In addition to the intrinsic activity and content of the catalyst, the content of resin in the catalytic layer is also a major factor in determining the performance of the membrane electrode. The resin content in the catalytic layer is generally characterized by the mass ratio of resin (Ionomer) to Carbon support (Carbon) in the catalyst, i.e. I/C. Because the resin has the capability of conducting protons, the proton conductivity of the catalytic layer can be improved by adding a certain amount of resin solution into the catalytic layer, so that the membrane electrode performance is improved. However, the resin solution distributed on the surface of the catalyst has a barrier effect on the diffusion of oxygen, and therefore, an excessively high resin content in the catalytic layer increases the mass transfer resistance in the catalytic layer, thereby degrading the performance of the membrane electrode. In summary, the resin content in the catalyst layer is a key factor in determining the performance of the membrane electrode.
However, since the content of the resin in the catalyst layer is generally low and the resin itself has an organic polymer structure, it is difficult to measure the content thereof by a conventional method such as a differential weight method or an elemental analysis method. At present, no quick and accurate online testing method for the resin content in the catalytic layer of the fuel cell exists. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce new techniques and research means.
