Description

Preparation method of high-permeability carbon paper for fuel cell
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, in particular to a preparation method of high-permeability carbon paper for a fuel cell.
Background
The gas diffusion layer is located between the bipolar plate and the membrane electrode catalyst layer, and needs to have various performances at the same time, and good electrical conductivity, certain mechanical strength, stability and hydrophobicity at the same time. Generally, the gas diffusion layer has hydrophobic reaction gas channels and hydrophilic liquid water transport channels inside. The common gas diffusion layer is formed by combining a substrate layer, a hydrophobic layer and a microporous layer, is used as one of key materials of the PEMFCs, improves the electric conduction capability of the gas diffusion layer and reduces the contact resistance between the gas diffusion layer and other components, and is favorable for promoting the rapid transfer of electrons and the efficient operation of reaction. Therefore, research on the electrical conductivity of the gas diffusion layer is one of the key points to solve the industry bottleneck.
Secondly, reduction of production costs and improvement of durability are essential conditions for solving the practical application of PEMFCs. Degradation of the gas diffusion layer, which is one of the membrane electrode components, has been a concern. However, there have been few studies on the degradation process, and no suitable methods for improving the durability of the battery have been found. The durability of the components in the PEMFCs must be increased to promote increased fuel cell life. To achieve this, it is important to assess the degradation mechanism of each moiety independently, determining qualitatively the material decay mechanism. Generally, the gas diffusion layer is mainly subjected to the following three attacks, first, the dissolution of acidic corrosive liquid; secondly, the gas flow scouring action; third, galvanic corrosion by electrical potential predominates as electrochemical carbon corrosion. In addition, the long-term operation of the fuel cell, the catalytic layer and the gas diffusion layer are aged, the gas diffusion overvoltage is increased, and the service life of the cell is also reduced. In order to address the above-mentioned carbon corrosion problem, some researchers have used oxides instead of carbon materials as the catalytic layer support, such as Ti4O7、SnO2And the like. Another group of researchers have been to improve the durability of the material itself to ensure long-term operation of the fuel cell. For example: oweian et al use highly corrosion resistant graphitized carbon to slow down the carbon corrosion rate of the microporous layer to 1.2A/cm2The battery performance under the current density is improved by 25 percent. The willingness of Shexiangxi et al thinks that the more complete the internal crystal structure of the carbon material is when the electrochemical corrosion occurs, the higher the graphitization temperature of the carbon paper is, the more complete the internal crystal structure of the carbon material is+The ions are more difficult to enter the carbon material, so that the ions are slowly releasedReducing the corrosive effect of the acidic environment inside the fuel cell. In addition, under actual conditions (such as frequent switching and starting and stopping), the PTFE loaded on the gas diffusion layer has small surface tension, is easy to agglomerate in heat treatment, is difficult to uniformly cover on carbon paper, and is easy to fall off along with the reaction due to the characteristics of poor adhesion with the carbon paper substrate, weak binding force and the like, so that more carbon materials are exposed, the pore structure of the gas diffusion layer is corroded to be enlarged, the hydrophilicity of the carbon material is increased, the water-gas balance is damaged, the water-gas mass transfer resistance is increased, and the service life of the fuel cell is shortened. Therefore, the graphene oxide with the content of 1 wt% is added in the preparation process of the carbon paper, so that the bonding force between the PTFE hydrophobic coating and the substrate interface is improved. And the self-corrosion current density is only 7.16E under the high voltage condition of 1.4V-2μA·cm-2. Takata et al introduce unsaturated bonds such as hydroxyl, carbonyl and the like into the surface of polytetrafluoroethylene to improve the surface energy and contact angle of the polytetrafluoroethylene, thereby improving the interface bonding condition between the polytetrafluoroethylene and a carbon paper matrix. Yoon et al successfully introduced Si-O-C bond on the carbon paper matrix by using (heptadecafluorosilane-1, 1, 2, 2-tetrahydro) triethoxysilane) resin with stronger stability to perform hydrophobic treatment on the carbon paper, thereby improving the bonding with the matrix.
It follows that in PEMFCs, the stability of the gas diffusion layer directly affects the reliability and durability of the fuel cell. Therefore, the improvement of the durability of each component inside the gas diffusion layer has great application significance for developing long-life electric stacks.
