Description

Fuel cell membrane electrode and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a fuel cell membrane electrode and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) have the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, no pollution, low noise, etc. The typical operating temperature of a conventional proton exchange membrane fuel cell (LT-PEMFC) is between 25 and 85 ℃, and a low operating temperature has the advantage of fast start-up, but has the outstanding problems that the fuel cell system has difficulty in dissipating heat, so that it requires a complicated cooling system, and a heat sink is bulky. In contrast, a high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) operating at 100-250 ℃ has the following advantages: (1) the working temperature is increased, the temperature difference between the fuel cell and the environment can be increased, the heat dissipation capacity of the system is improved, the cooling system is simplified, and the utilization rate of waste heat can be increased, so that the power generation efficiency of the system is improved; (2) the electrochemical reaction rate of the catalyst is improved, the use amount of the Pt catalyst is reduced, and the utilization of non-noble metal catalysts except Pt becomes possible, so that the cost of the fuel cell is greatly reduced; (3) flooding is not easy to occur, and the oxygen mass transfer capacity of the cathode is greatly improved under high current density; (4) the Pt catalyst has obviously improved carbon monoxide poisoning resistance, can use non-high-purity hydrogen, and reduces the hydrogen cost.
Currently, polybenzimidazole (PBI) is doped with phosphoric acid (H) 3 PO 4 ) High temperature proton exchange membranes are the most widely studied and have been commercially used in HT-PEMFCs. For the PBI doped phosphoric acid high-temperature proton exchange membrane, the proton conductor is phosphoric acid which is liquid from room temperature to working temperature (180 ℃), and particularly, the liquid phosphoric acid is easy to run off at low temperature; moreover, the swelling ratio is as high as 200-300%, and the mechanical strength is remarkably reduced. Chinese patent CN107331883A discloses Polybenzimidazole (PBI) doped molten proton conductor electrolyte membrane and fuel cell, wherein the doped molten proton conductor (CsH) 5 (PO 4 ) 2 、KH 5 (PO 4 ) 2 ) The liquid phase is a solid at room temperature, and is transformed into a liquid melt at a temperature higher than the melting point, wherein the melt has high proton conductivity, and is not easy to run off because the liquid phase is a solid below the melting point; the PBI doped molten proton conductor electrolyte membrane has low swelling rate and can maintain good mechanical strength.
The membrane electrode is the most central component of a fuel cell as a site for electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell. The structural design and preparation process of the membrane electrode affect the characteristics of the membrane electrode, and the characteristics of the membrane electrode directly determine the overall performance of the fuel cell. Conventional membrane electrode preparation methods are conventionally classified into two types according to the difference of a catalyst layer support substrate in the membrane electrode preparation process: the CCS method in which a catalyst is coated on a gas diffusion layer substrate and the CCM method in which a catalyst is coated on a proton exchange membrane. For the membrane electrode prepared by the CCS method, the interface contact between the catalyst layer and the electrolyte membrane is not tight, the interface resistance is larger, and the output power density of the fuel cell is lower. Compared with the CCS method, the CCM method can effectively improve the utilization rate of the catalyst and reduce the interface resistance between the proton exchange membrane and the catalyst layer, thereby obtaining high output power density, and becoming the mainstream technology for preparing the membrane electrode of the LT-PEMFC at present.
For PBI doped phosphoric acid high-temperature proton exchange membrane, after PBI is doped with phosphoric acid, the swelling rate is up to 200-300%, the mechanical property is obviously reduced, and if the PBI doped phosphoric acid high-temperature proton exchange membrane is adoptedThe membrane electrode prepared by CCM method is easy to peel off the catalyst layer due to excessive swelling, so the membrane electrode prepared by CCS method in this field is conventional, including the membrane electrode of Advent company. For PBI-doped molten proton conductor electrolyte membrane, the publication (A proton conductor based on molten CsH) 5 (PO 4 ) 2 for intermediate-temperature fuel cells, RSC adv.,2018,8, 5225-5232) and Chinese patent CN107331883A (an intermediate-temperature proton exchange membrane and a preparation method thereof) adopt a CCS method to prepare a membrane electrode, and are provided with fuel cells, and the peak power density is 120mW/cm respectively under the condition of supplying hydrogen/oxygen at 200 DEG C 2 And less than 70mW/cm 2 And exhibits low electrical output performance. In order to promote the application of fuel cells based on PBI doped molten proton conductor electrolyte membranes, it is highly desirable to improve the membrane electrode and increase its output power density.

Comparative example 1 and comparative example 1 (both PBI doped CsH) 5 (PO 4 ) 2 Electrolyte membrane), and example 10 and comparative example 2 (both using PBI doped KH) 5 (PO 4 ) 2 Electrolyte membrane), it was found that, also with phosphoric acid coated on the catalytic layer, the peak power density of the fuel cell was significantly higher for the CCM type membrane electrode than for the CCS type membrane electrode. This is because, for a CCM-type membrane electrode, the catalytic layer adheres to the electrolyte membrane, the interface contact between the catalyst and the electrolyte membrane is better, and accordingly the interface resistance is smaller, resulting in higher output power density; for CCS type membrane electrodes, a gas diffusion electrode (a catalyst layer is attached to a gas diffusion layer) is attached to an electrolyte membrane, and the membrane electrode is assembled, so that the interface between the catalyst layer on the gas diffusion electrode and the electrolyte membrane has poor contact, and accordingly, the interface resistance is higher, resulting in lower output power density.
Comparative example 1 and comparative example 3 (both PBI doped CsH) 5 (PO 4 ) 2 Electrolyte membrane), and example 10 and comparative example 4 (both using PBI doped KH) 5 (PO 4 ) 2 Electrolyte membrane), it has been found that, for CCM-type membrane electrodes, the application of phosphoric acid on the catalytic layer has a critical effect on fuel cell performance. This is because the catalytic layer is made of Pt/C and a binder (PTFE or the like) and does not have a proton conductor. The phosphoric acid is coated on the catalytic layer, and permeates into the catalytic layer formed by Pt/C and a binder (PTFE and the like), so that a proton transmission channel can be established in the catalytic layer, the proton transmission resistance in the catalytic layer is obviously reduced, and the output performance of the fuel cell of the membrane electrode is obviously improved.
The amount of phosphoric acid on the catalytic layer has a large effect on the fuel cell performance. The CCM-type membrane electrodes of examples 1 to 6 had higher peak power densities of fuel cells as compared with comparative examples 5 and 6, and it was found that phosphoric acid (1 to 20 mg/cm) was sprayed on the catalytic layer 2 ),Phosphoric acid permeates into the catalyst layer formed by Pt/C and a binder (PTFE and the like), so that a proton transmission channel in the catalyst layer can be effectively improved, the proton transmission resistance in the catalyst layer is reduced, and the electric output performance of the membrane electrode is improved. However, too little phosphoric acid makes it difficult to establish a sufficient proton conduction channel, while too much phosphoric acid causes it to block a gas transmission channel.
Unlike examples 1-6, in which phosphoric acid is coated on the catalytic layer by spray coating, examples 7 and 8, in which phosphoric acid is coated on the catalytic layer by blade coating and slit coating, respectively, the membrane electrode assembled by the two methods can also obtain good peak power density of the fuel cell.
Comparing example 1, example 7 and example 8, it can be seen that compared with PBI and PVDF as binders, the strong hydrophobic surface property of PTFE used in example 1 enables the PTFE to establish gas transmission channels in the catalyst layer, and prevents phosphoric acid from excessively blocking the gas channels, thereby obtaining good output performance of the fuel cell, and therefore PTFE can be used as the first choice of the binder in the membrane electrode catalyst layer.
Example 9 phosphoric acid was sprayed on the gas diffusion layer, and after the membrane electrode was assembled in CCM, the phosphoric acid on the gas diffusion layer could wet the catalytic layer on the electrolyte, allowing the catalytic layer to establish proton conducting channels, and also achieving better performance.
In summary, the invention provides a membrane electrode based on a Polybenzimidazole (PBI) doped molten proton conductor electrolyte membrane and a preparation method thereof, wherein the Polybenzimidazole (PBI) doped molten proton conductor electrolyte membrane with good mechanical strength, dimensional stability and proton conductivity is coated with a catalyst slurry, and the membrane electrode is prepared by a CCM method, so that good interface combination between the Polybenzimidazole (PBI) doped molten proton conductor electrolyte membrane and a catalyst layer can be realized, and the material transmission resistance of the membrane electrode interface is reduced; the catalyst layer and/or the gas diffusion layer are/is coated with trace phosphoric acid, so that a proton transmission channel in the membrane electrode is improved, and the proton transmission resistance in the catalyst layer is reduced, so that the prepared membrane electrode has excellent electric output performance.
