It is a fourth power generation technology following hydroelectric power generation, thermal power generation and atomic power generation. The fuel cell converts the Gibbs free energy in the chemical energy of the fuel into electric energy through electrochemical reaction, and is not limited by the Carnot cycle effect, so the efficiency is high; in addition, fuel cells use fuel and oxygen as raw materials; meanwhile, no mechanical transmission part is arranged, so that no noise pollution is caused, and the discharged harmful gas is less. It follows that fuel cells are the most promising power generation technology from the viewpoint of energy conservation and ecological environment conservation.
The fuel cell is a powerful competitor of the next generation new energy automobile power source due to the characteristics of environmental protection, energy conservation and hopeful solution of mileage anxiety of the lithium battery. The core of the membrane electrode assembly is a membrane electrode assembly formed by compounding a proton exchange membrane, a catalyst and a gas diffusion layer. The proton exchange membrane is a core component of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell and plays a key role in the performance of the cell.

At present, the proton exchange membrane of the fuel cell mainly uses a fluorosulfonic acid type proton exchange membrane, a nafion recast membrane, a non-fluorine polymer proton exchange membrane, a novel composite proton exchange membrane and the like. The traditional nafion perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membrane has the working temperature stabilized at 60-80 ℃, but water is easy to remain in a gas diffusion layer to cause flooding, and the catalyst is also easy to be poisoned by carbon monoxide. However, the loss of water at high temperature is serious, and the membrane material structure is seriously affected, the proton conductivity is sharply reduced, and the service life is seriously reduced. Therefore, the method has important significance for improving the durability of the proton exchange membrane.

Porous supporting materials can be added into the membrane to improve the strength of the membrane and reduce the deformability; the membrane-making material fills the pores of the porous support material and forms a layer of membrane on the outer surface of the porous support material. Chinese invention patent application No. 201310357482.1 discloses a medium temperature proton exchange membrane material, a preparation method thereof and a fuel cell prepared by using the material, wherein the membrane material is a nitrogen-containing polyphosphonic siloxane polymer, the raw materials for preparing the nitrogen-containing polyphosphonic siloxane polymer comprise organic phosphonic acid, isocyanate siloxane and a solvent, the molar ratio of the raw materials is that the organic phosphonic acid: isocyanate siloxane = 1: 1-1: 2, mixing and reacting the raw materials to form nitrogen-containing polyphosphonic siloxane sol, and gelling and drying the nitrogen-containing polyphosphonic siloxane sol to form the intermediate-temperature proton exchange membrane material.
