Description

Nafion composite membrane for high-temperature low-humidity proton exchange membrane fuel cell and preparation and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of proton exchange membranes of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a Nafion composite membrane for a high-temperature low-humidity proton exchange membrane fuel cell, and preparation and application thereof.
Background
The fuel cell has the outstanding characteristics of high efficiency, zero pollution, zero emission and the like as a novel power generation device, plays an increasingly important role in the energy field, promotes the energy to be low-carbonized and clean, and is the field which solves the energy problem most effectively and has the most development prospect. Among them, Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) are considered to be the most promising next-generation clean energy due to their advantages such as high specific power, fast start-up, and simple structure, and are the hot spots for new energy research. The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) is the core component of the PEMFC and directly determines the energy conversion efficiency and the service life of the PEMFC, wherein the proton conductivity and the methanol barrier performance are two key performance indexes thereof. At present, the research and application is mostly carried out on a perfluorosulfonic acid membrane represented by Nafion, but the Nafion membrane has two key scientific problems in practical application: firstly, the Nafion membrane has larger dependence on water content, the water loss is serious under the conditions of high temperature and low humidity, and the proton conductivity is obviously reduced because an ion cluster network proton transfer channel formed by sulfonic acid groups and water molecules through dynamic hydrogen bonds collapses; and secondly, when the Nafion membrane is used in a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC), fuel methanol permeates seriously, 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 the normal reaction of the cathode is interfered, and the efficiency of the DMFC is obviously reduced. Therefore, the development of a PEM with high proton conductivity and low methanol fuel permeability is of great significance for the scale-up application of PEMFCs.
The method has become a new way for constructing a high-efficiency transfer channel by grafting a polymer containing proton conducting groups and Nafion on the surface of an inorganic material, but the research on strengthening the proton conducting and alcohol blocking performance of a Nafion membrane by grafting the polymer containing proton conducting groups on the surface by taking graphene as a filling material has not been reported yet. The research on the preparation of the Nafion composite membrane by introducing azole groups and hydrophilic groups on the surface of graphene through diazonium salt addition reaction and atom transfer radical polymerization reaction and compounding with Nafion is not carried out.
