Please refer to fig. 1-6.
The invention discloses a method for obtaining the attenuation trend of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, which can know the state of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2, quickly judge the attenuation trend of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell and simplify the analysis process of the attenuation of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell.
The method for obtaining the attenuation tendency of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell comprises the following steps:
1) obtaining the working condition of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2;
2) according to the working condition, specific gas is introduced into a specific inlet of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2;
3) and obtaining the content X1 of the target gas in the tail gas of the specific outlet of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2, and obtaining the attenuation tendency of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell according to X1.
The working conditions of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2 in the step 1) comprise a stable operation working condition and a static working condition.
The mode of obtaining the working condition in the step 1) can be obtained manually or can be obtained through a battery management system.
The specific inlets in step 2) include the anode inlet and the cathode inlet of the pem fuel cell 2.
And determining which specific gas is introduced into which specific inlet according to the working condition.
The specific outlets include an anode outlet and a cathode outlet of the pem fuel cell 2. The specific collection of the tail gas at a specific outlet is determined according to the position of the target gas.
According to the method for obtaining the attenuation trend of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell, whether the proton exchange membrane fuel cell tends or not is judged by detecting the target gas in the tail gas, and compared with a mode that the attenuation trend is judged by the voltage difference between an initial polarization curve and a current polarization curve in the prior art, once the content of the target gas in the tail gas reaches a certain value, the attenuation of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell can be quickly judged, meanwhile, the attenuation trend of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2 is converted into the content of the target gas, and the quick judgment of the attenuation trend of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2 is realized.
The causes of degradation in the pem fuel cell 2 include mainly electrochemical corrosion of the membranes (anode and cathode) and loss of catalytic activity, mainly corrosion of the carbon support.
The carbon support of the pem fuel cell 2 is also subject to corrosion and carbon CO generation during chemical degradation of the membranes (anode and cathode membranes)xPart of COxDissolved in water, and the other part is directly discharged from a cathode outlet along with cathode tail gas.
The scheme detects CO in the cathode tail gasxObtaining the attenuation of the pem fuel cell 2 requires that the pem fuel cell 2 is operated under a stable operation condition, wherein the specific inlet comprises an anode inlet and a cathode inlet, the specific gas comprises hydrogen introduced into the anode inlet and air introduced into the cathode inlet, the specific outlet is a cathode outlet, and the target gas is COx
The specific steps of obtaining are as follows,
1) the obtained working condition is a stable operation working condition;
2) introducing hydrogen to the anode inlet and introducing air to the cathode inlet simultaneously;
3) obtaining CO in tail gas at the outlet of the cathodexX1, obtaining the proton exchange membrane fuel cell attenuation trend according to X1.
CO in cathode tail gasxThe content of (b) can only be detected when the pem fuel cell 2 is in a stable operating state.
The electrochemical corrosion affects the integrity of the membranes (anode and cathode) allowing gas to pass through the pores in the membranes (anode and cathode), and empty hydrogen or hydrogen breakthrough occurs within the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2.
Here, hydrogen breakthrough refers to permeation of hydrogen gas at the anode through the cathode membrane, and hydrogen breakthrough refers to permeation of air at the cathode through the anode membrane.
The detection of empty hydrogen or hydrogen empty can be carried out under the stable operation condition, wherein the specific inlet comprises an anode inlet and a cathode inlet, the specific gas comprises hydrogen introduced into the anode inlet and air introduced into the cathode inlet, the specific outlet comprises an anode outlet and a cathode outlet, and the target gas is nitrogen at the anode outlet and hydrogen at the cathode outlet.
The specific steps of obtaining are as follows,
1) the obtained working condition is a stable operation working condition;
2) introducing hydrogen to the anode inlet and introducing air to the cathode inlet simultaneously;
3) the nitrogen content X1 'at the anode outlet and the hydrogen content X1 "at the cathode outlet were obtained, and the proton exchange membrane fuel cell damping tendency was obtained according to X1' and X1".
It should be noted here that X1' and X1 ″ are for distinguishing the hydrogen content X1 at the anode outlet and the cathode outlet, and do not have a special meaning.
The detection of the content of nitrogen at the anode outlet and the content of hydrogen at the cathode outlet can be performed when the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2 is in a stable operation state, or can be performed when the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2 is in a static state. The detection modes of the nitrogen content at the anode outlet and the hydrogen content at the cathode outlet are flexible.
The detection of empty hydrogen or hydrogen running can be carried out under a static working condition, specific outlets and specific inlets for detection are different, the adopted specific gas is nitrogen, and the target gas is nitrogen.
Specifically, when the empty hydrogen detection is carried out, the specific obtaining steps are,
1) the obtained working condition is a static working condition;
2) introducing nitrogen to the inlet of the cathode;
3) and obtaining the content X1 of the nitrogen at the outlet of the anode, and obtaining the attenuation tendency of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell according to X1.
Specifically, when hydrogen serial-to-empty detection is performed, the specific obtaining steps are,
1) the obtained working condition is a static working condition;
2) introducing nitrogen to the inlet of the anode;
3) and obtaining the content X1 of the nitrogen at the outlet of the cathode, and obtaining the attenuation tendency of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell according to X1.
Since the gas may be trapped at the anode outlet and the cathode outlet, and the target gas in the gas may affect the content X1 of the target gas at the cathode outlet or the anode outlet, which may reduce the detection accuracy, it is necessary to detect the content of the target gas in the trapped gas to reduce the error.
Specifically, before the specific gas is introduced into the specific inlet in the step 2), the initial content X2 of the target gas in the specific outlet is obtained, and at this time, in the step 3), the attenuation tendency of the pem fuel cell is obtained specifically according to the difference between X1 and X2 (i.e., X1-X2).
The method for reducing the error in the above step 2) is applicable to COxAnd detecting empty hydrogen or hydrogen empty.
In order to further improve the detection accuracy, before obtaining X1 and X2, the gas at a specific outlet is subjected to tail gas treatment, and the purpose of the tail gas treatment is to remove moisture and particulate impurities in the tail gas.
The tail gas treatment is realized by a tail gas treatment device, and in a specific embodiment of the scheme, the tail gas treatment device comprises a gas-water separator 7, a gas sampling pipe 8 and a pretreatment device 9 which are sequentially connected through a pipeline.
X2 is illustrated here, and X2 is the content of the target gas in the piping, the specified outlet, the gas-water separator 7, the gas sampling pipe 8 and the pretreatment device 9.
According to the method for obtaining the attenuation tendency of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell, after the X2 is obtained in the step 2) and before the specific gas is introduced into the specific inlet, the pressure of the specific gas introduced into the specific inlet is adjusted, so that the gas with constant pressure is ensured to be supplied into the specific inlet, and the influence of the gas pressure change on the content of the target gas is reduced.
The scheme also discloses a device for obtaining the attenuation trend of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell, which is used for knowing the state of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2, rapidly judging the attenuation trend of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell and simplifying the attenuation analysis process of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2.

The high-pressure hydrogen source 1 and the high-pressure air source 3 are high-pressure air sources required by the operation of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2, when the high-pressure hydrogen source 1 and the high-pressure air source 3 are communicated with the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2, the stable operation state of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2 is simulated, and the high-pressure nitrogen source 4 is used when the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2 is in a static state to carry out hydrogen serial empty or empty serial hydrogen test. The high-pressure air source of the device for obtaining the attenuation tendency of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is not limited to the air source, the high-pressure air source 3 can be replaced by a high-pressure oxygen source, the high-pressure hydrogen source 1 can be replaced by other fuel gases, and the high-pressure nitrogen source 4 can be replaced by other stable gases which do not participate in the reaction of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2.

The device for obtaining the attenuation trend of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell disclosed by the scheme judges whether the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is attenuated or not by detecting the target gas in the tail gas, and compared with a mode of judging the attenuation trend by the voltage difference between an initial polarization curve and a current polarization curve in the prior art, once the content of the target gas in the tail gas reaches a certain value, the device can quickly judge that the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is attenuated, and simultaneously converts the attenuation trend of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2 into the content of the target gas, so that the quick judgment of the attenuation trend of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2 is realized.
Meanwhile, the fuel utilization rate can be calculated by detecting the contents of oxygen and hydrogen in the cathode tail gas and the anode tail gas, the stoichiometric ratio of the cathode and the anode is optimized, and theoretical data support is provided for the research and development of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2. Specifically, a high-pressure hydrogen source 1 and a high-pressure air source 3 supply hydrogen and air into the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2 through a hydrogen inlet and an air inlet of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 2, respectively; cathode tail gas gets into cathode gas chromatograph 6, and cathode gas chromatograph 6 detects the content of oxygen in the tail gas to the record is in the memory, and anode tail gas gets into anode gas chromatography gas, and anode gas chromatograph 5 detects the content of hydrogen in the anode tail gas, and the record is in the memory, calculates the fuel utilization ratio through hydrogen and oxygen in detecting anode tail gas and the cathode tail gas, and then optimizes the stoichiometric ratio of oxygen and hydrogen.
