Description

Adhesive for membrane electrode and membrane electrode
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to an adhesive for a membrane electrode and the membrane electrode.
Background
The fuel cell is a combination of tens to hundreds of membrane electrodes, the membrane electrodes are hearts of a fuel cell stack, the performance and the service life of the membrane electrodes determine the service condition and the service life of the fuel cell, and the whole cell cannot work as long as any membrane electrode is damaged and air leakage occurs in the operation process of the cell. The membrane electrode is used as a core component of the fuel cell and mainly comprises an anode gas diffusion layer, an anode catalyst layer, a proton exchange membrane, a cathode catalyst layer and a cathode gas diffusion layer. The current mainstream packaging method of the membrane electrode is a double-side frame packaging method, firstly, anode catalyst layers and cathode catalyst layers are respectively coated on two sides of a proton exchange membrane to prepare a catalyst coating membrane with a three-layer structure, then, the edges of the catalyst coating membrane and the edges of two frames are bonded and sealed through an adhesive to form a five-layer assembly, and finally, the two gas diffusion layers are respectively bonded with the frames through the adhesive to form a seven-layer membrane electrode. In the prior art, a membrane electrode adopting a single-side frame packaging technology is also available, but an adhesive is needed to be used for preparing the membrane electrode with a double-side frame structure or a membrane electrode with a single-side frame structure. The adhesive has the functions of adhesion and fixation in the membrane electrode and sealing, and can prevent the catalyst coating film from damaging and air leakage during the operation of the fuel cell, so that the adhesion and stability of the adhesive have great influence on the performance and service life of the membrane electrode.
The adhesive is typically a high molecular weight polymer. In the operation process of the fuel cell, hydrogen and oxygen generate hydrogen peroxide under the action of a platinum catalyst, and the hydrogen peroxide reacts with metal ion impurities in the membrane electrode to generate free radicals, so that a macromolecular chain of the adhesive is attacked, the adhesive is degraded to fail, the air tightness of the membrane electrode is reduced, and an intermediate or a product generated by the degradation of the adhesive may poison the fuel cell catalyst and degrade a proton exchange membrane, thereby influencing the performance and the service life of the membrane electrode.
There are techniques currently developed for using additives in the active area of the layers of the membrane electrode that scavenge hydrogen peroxide and free radicals generated during the reaction. However, since the active region and the adhesive region of the membrane electrode are different in environments, the manner in which these additives are present is different, and the diffusion rate and the loss rate of the additive added to the active region are high, it is difficult to protect the membrane electrode for a long period of time, and it is difficult to greatly improve the life of the fuel cell. The Chinese patent 'an adhesive for a membrane electrode and a membrane electrode' (publication No. CN112375529A, publication No. 2021.02.19) discloses an adhesive, wherein a free radical scavenger is added into the adhesive, so that the membrane electrode is not easy to degrade and lose efficacy, and the service life of the membrane electrode is prolonged. However, such a radical scavenger only has a single function of eliminating radicals, and if other properties of the adhesive are to be optimized, other additives are required to be added, however, when the types or the amounts of the additives are too large, the cost of the membrane electrode is increased, and the adhesive properties of the adhesive are also affected.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome at least one defect (deficiency) of the prior art, and provides an adhesive for a membrane electrode and a membrane electrode, wherein an organic photosensitizer added in the adhesive can promote crosslinking and curing of the adhesive, improve the curing efficiency of the adhesive, and can also be used as a free radical scavenger to eliminate free radicals generated in the operation process of a fuel cell so as to slow down the degradation of the adhesive, and can avoid the influence of the addition of a plurality of additives with single functions on the bonding performance of the adhesive.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is that the adhesive for the membrane electrode is provided, and the photocuring adhesive for the membrane electrode is characterized by comprising a photocuring adhesive body and an organic photosensitizer, wherein the organic photosensitizer is one or more mixtures of metal phthalocyanine complexes containing metal ions and/or one or more mixtures of stearates containing metal ions.
In the operation process of the fuel cell, hydrogen and oxygen generate hydrogen peroxide under the action of a platinum catalyst of the catalyst layer, the hydrogen peroxide reacts with metal ion impurities in the membrane electrode to generate free radicals (as shown in formula 1), and the free radicals attack a macromolecular chain of the adhesive to degrade and lose efficacy, so that the air tightness of the membrane electrode is reduced, and an intermediate or a product generated by degradation may poison the catalyst layer and further degrade a proton exchange membrane, so that the performance and the service life of the membrane electrode are influenced.
Formula 1:
Formation of H 2 O 2
H 2 →2H·(via Pt catalyst)
H·+O 2 (diffused through PEM)→HOO·
HOO·+H·→H 2 O 2 (which can diffuse into PEM)
or
2H + +O 2 +2e→H 2 O 2
Generation of free radical:
H 2 O 2 +M 2+ (Fe 2+ ,Cu 2+ ,etc)→M 3+ +·OH+OH -
M 3+ +HO 2 - →M 2+ +HOO·
·OII+H 2 O 2 →H 2 O+HOO·
in the technical scheme, the organic photosensitizer added into the photo-curing adhesive can have the function of a free radical scavenger, can capture and eliminate free radicals generated in the operation process of the fuel cell, reduce and slow down the degradation of the adhesive when the membrane electrode is operated, and can also improve the curing efficiency of the photo-curing adhesive, and the adoption of one additive can optimize various performances of the adhesive, so that the dosage of the additive can be greatly reduced, and the bonding performance of the adhesive is ensured; in the preparation process of the membrane electrode, after the adhesive of the technical scheme is coated on the bonding part, under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, the organic photosensitizer absorbs ultraviolet light to generate active free radicals or cations, so that the high polymer of the adhesive body is promoted to generate crosslinking curing reaction, the curing speed of the adhesive is accelerated, the organic photosensitizer still remains in the adhesive for sealing after curing and still can keep activity, and the organic photosensitizer can be used as a free radical scavenger in the operation process of the fuel cell, so that the free radicals generated in an active area and diffused to the bonding part are captured and eliminated, and therefore, other metal ions are not required to be additionally introduced to capture the free radicals, and the effect that one additive has two optimization functions is realized.
Further, the metal ion is one or more of cerium ion, manganese ion or cobalt ion. The use of these metal ions can make the radical trapping effect better.
Preferably, the organic photosensitizer is one or a mixture of two of manganese phthalocyanine or cerium stearate.
Further, the addition amount of the organic photosensitizer is 0.1-10% of the mass of the adhesive body.
Preferably, the addition amount of the organic photosensitizer is 1-5% of the mass of the adhesive body.
Although the more the additive is added, the more obvious the optimizing effect is, but when the additive is added too much, the preparation cost of the membrane electrode is increased, and the bonding performance of the adhesive is also affected, so in the technical scheme, the addition of the organic photosensitizer is kept within a certain range to ensure the bonding performance of the adhesive, and meanwhile, the addition can ensure that the organic photosensitizer still has the organic photosensitizer with certain activity in the adhesive as a free radical scavenger after the photocuring of the adhesive is promoted, thereby improving the photocuring speed and stability of the adhesive, and further improving the production efficiency and the service life of the membrane electrode.
The invention also provides a membrane electrode, which comprises a frame and a membrane electrode body, wherein the frame and the membrane electrode body are bonded through an adhesive, the membrane electrode body comprises an anode gas diffusion layer, a proton exchange membrane and a cathode gas diffusion layer which are sequentially bonded and laminated through the adhesive, the proton exchange membrane is coated with an anode catalyst layer on one side where the anode gas diffusion layer is arranged, and is coated with a cathode catalyst layer on the other side, and the adhesive is the photocuring adhesive for the membrane electrode.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
the organic photosensitizer is added into the photo-curing adhesive body, so that photo-curing of the adhesive is promoted, the production efficiency is improved, the organic photosensitizer can still keep certain activity after photo-curing, can be used as a free radical scavenger for capturing and eliminating generated free radicals in the operation process of a fuel cell, and can reduce degradation of the photo-curing adhesive due to free radical attack, thereby prolonging the service life of a membrane electrode; the invention adopts specific organic photosensitizer, can realize the effect that one additive has two optimizing functions, does not need to add a plurality of additives with single function, and avoids the decrease of the adhesive property and the sealing property of the adhesive caused by the plurality of additives contained in the adhesive.

Comparative example 5
The comparative example provides a photo-curing adhesive for a membrane electrode, which consists of a photo-curing adhesive body, a photosensitizer and a free radical scavenger, wherein the photo-curing adhesive body is a UV light curing adhesive HENKEL Loctite EA3355, the photosensitizer is TPO-L, the addition amount of the TPO-L accounts for 1% of the adhesive body by mass, and the free radical scavenger is Ce (NO 3 ) 3 ,Ce(NO 3 ) 3 The addition amount of the adhesive accounts for 1 percent of the mass of the adhesive body, and the membrane electrode is used upThe curing adhesive is prepared by uniformly mixing the photo-curing adhesive body, the photosensitizer and the free radical scavenger.
The curing efficiency test results of examples 1 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 4 are shown in table 1.
Table 1:
as is clear from Table 1, under the same curing conditions, except for example 4, the curing time of the adhesive added with manganese phthalocyanine or cerium stearate was far longer than that of the adhesive added with Ce (NO) having only a single radical trapping function 3 ) 3 And MnSO 4 And the adhesive without the photosensitizer is short, which shows that a certain amount of manganese phthalocyanine and cerium stearate can effectively promote the crosslinking curing efficiency of the photo-curing adhesive.
The stability test results of examples 1 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 4 are shown in table 2.
The stability test described above was a process that utilized the Fenton (Fenton) reaction to simulate the generation of free radicals during operation of a fuel cell. The Fenton (Fenton) reaction generates free radicals by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous ions, and in the Fenton (Fenton) reaction, hydroxyl free radicals and peroxy free radicals can be generated simultaneously, as follows:
Fe 2+ +H 2 O 2 →Fe 3+ +(OH) - +OH·①
H 2 O 2 +Fe 3+ →Fe 2+ +HO 2 ·+H +
as is clear from Table 2, under the same reaction conditions, the weight loss ratio of the adhesive added with manganese phthalocyanine or cerium stearate was far smaller than that of the adhesive added with photosensitizer TPO-L having only a single function and without photosensitizer, wherein the adhesive added with cerium stearate and the adhesive added with Ce (NO 3 ) 3 Or MnSO 4 Compared with the adhesive, the weight loss ratio of the adhesive is smaller, which indicates that the manganese phthalocyanine and the cerium stearate can simultaneously play the roles of a photosensitizer and a free radical scavenger, and after the adhesive is promoted to be solidified, the adhesive still has a certain activity and can trap and eliminate free radicals, thereby improving the chemical stability of the adhesive in the free radical environment.
The photo-curable adhesives of examples 1, 3, 5, and 7 and comparative examples 1 and 5 were used for the adhesion performance test by the following method:
s1, coating the prepared adhesive on a piece of membrane electrode frame material, covering another piece of frame material to form a structure of sequentially laminated frame material-adhesive-frame material, and then irradiating the adhesive with UV light with the wavelength of 405nm for 20 seconds to completely cure the adhesive to obtain a sample;
s2, cutting the sample obtained in the step S1 into strips with the width of 2cm, and testing the peel strength between two pieces of frame materials by using a universal testing machine to characterize the bonding performance of the adhesive.
The peel strength curve of the adhesive is shown in fig. 1, wherein the displacement of the abscissa represents the peel length of the sample, the peel strength of the ordinate represents the force value required for peeling off each centimeter of the sample, and the curves correspond to comparative example 1, example 5, example 1, example 7, comparative example 5 and example 3 from top to bottom in the position of 24mm on the abscissa.
As is clear from the comparison of examples 1 and 3 with comparative example 1, the addition of 1% manganese phthalocyanine or 1% cerium stearate to the UV light curable adhesive has substantially no effect on the adhesion performance of the UV light curable adhesive, but as is clear from the comparison of examples 5 and 7 with examples 1 and 3, the adhesion performance of the adhesive tends to gradually decrease as the amount of the additive increases, and therefore, the amount of the additive preferably does not exceed 10% of the mass of the adhesive body, and is preferably 1 to 5%; comparative example 5 was far lower in the adhesive properties of the adhesive obtained as compared with examples 1, 3, 5, 7 and comparative example 1 than in example 1 to which 1% of manganese phthalocyanine was added, example 5 to which 1% of cerium stearate was added and comparative example 1 to which no additive was added, and lower in example 7 to which 5% of cerium stearate was added, and was similar to example 3 to which 5% of manganese phthalocyanine was added, it was found that a plurality of additives having only a single function were simultaneously added to the UV light curable adhesive to optimize the various properties of the adhesive, and the adhesive properties of the adhesive were remarkably lowered even though the amount of each additive was small, and the organic photosensitizer added to the adhesive of the present invention had both effects of optimizing the adhesive properties, and the influence of the additives on the adhesive properties was reduced.
It should be understood that the foregoing examples of the present invention are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention to the specific embodiments thereof. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. that comes within the spirit and principle of the claims of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
