Description

Preparation method of graphene aerogel based gas diffusion electrode of direct methanol fuel cell and membrane electrode
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a direct methanol fuel cell, and relates to a preparation method of a gas diffusion electrode of the direct methanol fuel cell based on graphene aerogel and a membrane electrode.
Background
A Direct Alcohol Fuel Cell (DAFC) is a power generation device that directly converts chemical energy stored in alcohol fuel (such as methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, isopropanol, etc.) and oxygen into electric energy in a highly efficient and green manner. The alcohol solution on the anode side is subjected to oxidation reaction under the catalytic action of the anode catalyst to release electrons, the oxygen on the cathode side is combined with the electrons transmitted from an external circuit under the catalytic action of the cathode catalyst to perform reduction reaction, and meanwhile, ions balance the ionic charges between the anode and the cathode through the polyelectrolyte membrane to realize an internal loop of the battery. Among various alcohol fuels, methanol is considered to be the most promising fuel, which has the simplest molecular structure, no carbon bond, is more easily oxidized than other alcohol fuels, and has an energy density of 6100Whkg -1 . Therefore, in the past decades, DMFCs have been extensively studied.
The MEA is mainly composed of a Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL), a Catalyst Layer (CL), and a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM). In the electrochemical reaction process, all functional layers of the MEA need to participate and cooperate together, the performance of the PEMFC is restricted by the mass transfer, catalysis, conduction and other capabilities of the functional layers, and the structural optimization of all the functional layers plays a significant role in improving the performance of the PEMFC.
The gas diffusion layer plays a role in transporting reactants and products, conducting electricity, conducting heat, and supporting a catalytic layer, and is an important component of the electrode. The diffusion layer generally consists of two parts, a support layer and a Microporous layer (MPL). The diffusion layer should have high electrical conductivity, high porosity, high thermal conductivity and a suitable balance of hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. At the present stage, the main research direction of the diffusion layer is to adjust the structure and material components of the diffusion layer, improve the utilization rate of the supported catalyst, and improve the mass transfer capacity under high current density. The traditional microporous layer is formed by single-layer carbon powder, and after a catalyst is loaded, a plurality of active sites are hidden under the surface and cannot play a catalytic role. Moreover, during the long-term operation of the battery, the catalyst may agglomerate or deposit in the microporous layer, greatly reducing the utilization rate of the catalyst and seriously affecting the performance and durability of the battery.
