Description

Fuel cell membrane electrode preparation process and continuous production line
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation process of a fuel cell membrane electrode and a continuous production line, belonging to the field of fuel cell membrane electrodes.
Background
The fuel cell is an efficient and environment-friendly energy conversion device and has wide application prospects in various fields such as automobile transportation, distributed power generation and the like. The performance and yield of the membrane electrode as a core component of the fuel cell directly determine the performance and yield of the fuel cell stack and the system, and the high price of the proton exchange membrane required for preparing the membrane electrode also restricts the rapid development of the fuel cell. At present, the fuel cell technology has been introduced into the market of commercial mass production, and a device and a process technology capable of meeting the requirements of mass production of proton exchange membranes and continuous coating of catalysts are urgently needed.
The development of the preparation process of the Membrane Electrode (MEA) has been proved in many ways, and according to the difference of the supporting substrate of the catalyst layer in the preparation process, the preparation method of the membrane electrode is often divided into two methods, namely, catalyst preparation onto substrate (CCS) and catalyst preparation onto membrane (CCM). At present, a method is generally adopted, wherein catalyst slurry is directly sprayed on a proton exchange membrane in a gas drainage mode to form a catalyst direct coating film assembly, and the method has the biggest defects of low spraying speed and long processing period. Another method more suitable for mass production is to directly coat the catalyst slurry on a gas diffusion layer or transfer membrane, and form CCM by hot pressing transfer to a proton exchange membrane. However, the process adds a transfer printing step, and is complex and tedious to operate. Obviously, the catalyst slurry is directly coated on the proton exchange membrane, so that the manufacturing process is greatly simplified, and the production efficiency is improved. In the prior art, the catalyst slurry is directly coated on the proton exchange membrane, and the following modes are generally adopted: the CCM is prepared after the composite membrane is rolled for standby, or the finished membrane is directly purchased to prepare the CCM, and the two modes have certain 'gap' phenomena such as static electricity and the like when the liquid phase catalyst slurry contacts with the solid phase membrane, so that the final CCM has the appearance of cracks, falling and pinholes.
