Description

High-stability high-temperature membrane electrode for fuel cell and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a membrane electrode for a high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The development of hydrogen energy promotes the transformation of global energy structures, the innovation of fuel cell technology accords with the low carbonization, electric and distributed development trend of global energy traffic, and is concerned by academic and industrial interest, and in particular, the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell technology is commercially applied to vehicle-mounted and aerospace power systems on a large scale.
Wherein, the high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) can simplify the water heat management system of the fuel cell stack and improve the tolerance to carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO 2) and other impurity gases due to the higher operating temperature (120-180 ℃). When coupled with liquid fuel reformers such as methanol and formic acid, the fuel cell has the characteristics of no need of purification treatment of reformed gas, high heat efficiency and the like, and is an important development direction of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. The core component of the HT-PEMFC is a high temperature membrane electrode (HT-MEA) assembled based on a phosphoric acid doped polymer electrolyte membrane. Phosphoric acid in the HT-MEA serves as a proton conductor of an electrolyte membrane on one hand, and transfers hydrogen protons generated by the anode to the cathode; on the other hand, part of phosphoric acid enters the catalytic layer to participate in constructing a solid-liquid-gas three-phase electrochemical reaction interface. However, the high phosphoric acid content and uneven phosphoric acid distribution in the catalytic layer easily cause blocking of the pore channels, and prevent the contact between the reaction gas and the platinum catalyst, resulting in a large local transmission resistance in the catalytic layer. Therefore, regulating the distribution of phosphoric acid in HT-MEA, especially the content and distribution in the catalytic layer, is critical for constructing HT-PEMFC with high performance and high stability.
During the membrane electrode assembly process, the assembled mechanical stress squeezes the polymer electrolyte membrane, causing phosphoric acid inside the membrane to overflow into the cracks of the catalytic layer and redistribute in the catalytic layer under the action of capillary force and phosphoric acid surface tension determined by the microporous structure and hydrophobicity of the catalytic layer. While the cell is running, the cell potential pulls the phosphate anions to migrate to the anode and the phosphoric acid loss with the product water and unreacted gases is also further promoted by the redistribution of phosphoric acid in the membrane electrode. The dynamic migration process of phosphoric acid in the membrane electrode can lead to the phosphoric acid in the electrolyte membrane to migrate into the catalytic layer in a large amount and continuously, and the catalytic reaction is easy to be causedThe layer is flooded by acid, so that the number of effective solid-liquid-gas electrochemical three-phase reaction interfaces is reduced, and the adsorption of phosphate anions on the surface of platinum seriously affects the operation stability of HT-PEMFC. Thus, to reduce the negative impact of phosphoric acid on the catalytic layer, a high catalyst platinum loading (typically at 1.0mg cm -2 Above), the cost of the HT-PEMFC is greatly increased, the requirement of practical large-scale application cannot be met, and the commercialization progress of the HT-PEMFC is seriously hindered.

The specific scheme is that the nano-coating is formed by one or more of metal oxide with nano particle size, water-insoluble heteropolyacid salt, pyrophosphatate nano carbon material and the like on the surface of the catalytic layer, and the migration speed of phosphoric acid to the catalytic layer is effectively slowed down by utilizing capillary condensation action of nano pore diameter formed by small-particle-size nano particles and strong chemical action of the nano material and phosphoric acid; and the porosity and thickness of the coating are regulated and controlled by regulating the particle size and the loading capacity of the nano particles so as to further regulate and control the phosphoric acid content in the catalytic layer. The material source of the interface layer is wide, the interface layer preparation method is simple and convenient, and the method is suitable for preparing the high-efficiency stable low-platinum HT-MEA with large scale and large size. Therefore, the high-temperature membrane electrode with the interface layer and the preparation method thereof disclosed by the invention are beneficial to improving the output performance and stability of the high-temperature membrane electrode, and can greatly promote the commercialization process of HT-PEMFC.

In the embodiment, the relation between the material particle size of the interface layer, the thickness of the formed interface layer, the nano material loading, the morphology of the micropore structure and the like and the migration speed of phosphoric acid to the catalytic layer is researched, and the related parameters in the case of adopting silicon dioxide as the interface layer material are specifically optimized, so that the effect of better preventing the migration of phosphoric acid to the catalytic layer is achieved, the adopted nano SiO 2 The particle size is about 25 to 30nm smaller than that of the catalyst of the diffusion electrode catalyst layer, and in the present embodiment, the nano particle size of the Pt/C catalyst of the catalyst layer is about 45nm, so that the cost in the production process and the remarkable effect of preventing the migration of phosphoric acid are comprehensively considered, and the SiO used is selected 2 The particle size is most preferably 10-20 nm.
At the same time by different SiO 2 The research on the influence of the coating amount on the surface morphology shows that the internal pore structure of the uncovered front electrode catalytic layer is relatively loose, and the large pores among the catalyst agglomerates are more. Within a certain loading range, with SiO 2 Increased coating capacity, cracks on the electrode surface are formed by SiO 2 The pore diameter is gradually reduced, and the space size provided for phosphoric acid accumulation is also reduced, so that the electrolyte membrane can be effectively prevented from leaking out of phosphoric acid caused by extrusion of assembly stress, and the amount of phosphoric acid migrating to the catalytic layer. Through analysis of different pore diameter contents, the SiO is adopted 2 The loading is 0.05-0.2mg cm -2 The thickness of the interface layer is 3.2-9.4 μm; and when the percentage of primary pore diameter of 0.01-0.1 μm in the interface layer is not less than 65%, the percentage of secondary pore diameter of 0.1-1 μm is not more than 12%, and the percentage of large pore diameter of more than 10 μm is not more than 23%, the SiO can be prepared under the condition of reducing cost and preparation difficulty 2 The interface layer has a pore diameter structure which is denser and uniform than that of the catalytic layer, and the agglomerated particles are finer, so that the migration of phosphoric acid to the catalytic layer is effectively prevented even under the condition of low Pt loading and thinner catalytic layer thickness; preventing the occurrence of acid flooding due to the invasion of phosphoric acid from the electrolyte membrane.
As can be seen from fig. 2, the membrane electrode (example 2, example 4 and example 6) prepared according to the present invention has higher performance output compared with the high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell assembled with the membrane electrode (comparative example 1), and still shows comparable performance (comparable voltage and power density) even at a larger current density, which means that by constructing an interface layer between the gas diffusion electrode and the polymer electrolyte membrane and optimizing the type of the interface layer material, the material particle size and the interface layer thickness, the migration rate of phosphoric acid in the electrolyte membrane into the catalyst layer is advantageously slowed down, thereby improving the three-phase interface transmission in the catalyst layer and improving the output performance of the high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. The interface layer material in the embodiment 2 adopts XC-72 carbon spheres, and the size of the interface layer material is similar to that of a platinum catalyst; in example 4, the interface layer material was 50 to 70nm of SiO 2 The nano-sphere particles are slightly larger than the size of the platinum catalyst carbon carrier; in example 6, the interface layer material was 10 to 20nm of SiO 2 The size of the nano-sphere particles is far lower than that of the platinum catalyst carbon carrier. Due to SiO 2 There is a strong interaction with phosphoric acid(silicon phosphoric acid can be generated at 160 ℃), the particle size of the interface layer is smaller than that of the catalyst carrier carbon particles, the pore size of the formed interface layer is obviously smaller than that of the catalyst layer, the speed of phosphoric acid in the polymer electrolyte membrane entering the catalyst layer can be obviously slowed down, and meanwhile, the phosphoric acid can enter the catalyst layer more uniformly, so that the phosphoric acid distribution of the catalyst layer is improved, and more effective electrochemical reaction interfaces are constructed. FIG. 3 is a graph showing the ohmic resistance of the high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell assembled in example 6 and comparative example 1 with time under the condition that 80 ℃ at 100RH% nitrogen is introduced into the cathode, and it can be seen that the surface of the catalyst layer is structured with SiO 2 After the nano coating, the ohmic resistance of the membrane electrode changes less along with time, and the stability is obviously improved.
The foregoing description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and any simple modification, variation and equivalent structural changes made to the above embodiment according to the technical substance of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
