Description

Continuous mass production system for fuel cell catalyst and preparation method for fuel cell catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of fuel cell catalysts, in particular to a continuous batch production system of a fuel cell catalyst and a preparation method of the fuel cell catalyst.
Background
At present, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology of China is rapidly developed, and the localization of the fuel cell is primarily realized. But its large-scale commercial application still faces serious challenges such as high cost, short lifetime, etc. The major cost of PEMFCs comes from Pt-based catalysts. As key materials of PEMFCs, enterprises for producing PEMFCs catalysts exist in China, but the daily output of many enterprises is only hundred grams, and the phenomenon of batch supply exists. For the user side, the cost, time, reliability and consistency of purchasing the catalyst in kilogram grade at one time are certainly more advantageous than purchasing the catalyst in gram grade in batches.
There are many methods for preparing fuel cell Pt-based catalysts, such as polyol method, oleylamine method, impregnation reduction method and NaBH method 4 Etc. The polyol method is a simple and green preparation method, mainly uses ethylene glycol as a solvent and also as a reducing agent and a stabilizing agent, and does not need to additionally use other reducing agents and surfactants. In the process of preparing the catalyst by using the polyol method, microwave-assisted acceleration reaction can be used, and the technology of using microwave-assisted glycol has the advantages of both microwave radiation heating and the technology of using the polyol, and can prepare various metal nano particles rapidly and efficiently. In the process of preparing the metal nano-particles by adopting the ethylene glycol, the ethylene glycol is heated to generate glyoxal, glycollic acid and the like, so that the metal nano-particles have reducibility, can negatively charge metal particles generated by reaction, effectively prevent agglomeration and growth among the metal particles, and have the function of stabilizing the metal particles. In addition, compared with the prior artCompared with the heating mode, the microwave radiation heating mode has the characteristics of high heating speed, uniform heating and the like, can promote the nano particles to be quickly reduced and nucleated, and finally has the advantages of good dispersity, small particle size and narrow distribution range of the prepared metal nano particles. The microwave-assisted ethylene glycol method not only ensures the reliability of the product, but also can effectively shorten the reaction time to improve the production efficiency of the catalyst.
The traditional microwave-assisted ethylene glycol method uses a batch kettle type multimode microwave reactor, all reactants are generally added into a unit kettle at the beginning, and the reaction temperature of the reactants is determined by adjusting the microwave heating time. Because of the load traction effect of the microwave resonant cavity heating and the association with the microwave source excitation position setting, all modes can occur, or can occur partially, and the occurrence frequency is irregular. Therefore, in the actual working process of the resonant cavity, unpredictable multiple modes coexist, the heating effect of strong and weak superposition is achieved, the microwave electric field is totally distributed in a certain range, but the electric field distribution intensity law cannot be accurately found, so that when the intermittent kettle type multimode microwave reactor is used for preparing the Pt-based catalyst, the reacted solution is heated unevenly, the reaction solution is heated for the same time in batches, and the reactant temperatures are different. Therefore, the metal particle size of the Pt-based catalyst prepared using the batch-type multi-mode microwave reactor is not uniform and the performance repeatability of the catalyst between batches is poor. The production efficiency of such batch mode is relatively low from the point of view of producing the product.
Because of the problems existing in the preparation of the Pt-based catalyst by the intermittent kettle type multi-mode microwave reactor, the solid single-mode continuous flow microwave chemical reactor can be used as a microwave source for preparing the Pt-based catalyst, so that the defects of the kettle type reactor can be avoided, the reactor has two advantages of the solid source and the single-mode microwave technology, the chemical process requirements of preparing the Pt-based catalyst by a microwave-assisted polyol method can be met, continuous flow preparation can be realized, and two flow preparation modes of normal pressure and pressure are supported. The conventional solid single-mode continuous flow microwave chemical reactor is mainly used as a reactor for full liquid phase chemical reaction, the cavity of the reactor is arranged in a vertical mode, and the spiral coil is arranged in the cavity of the solid single-mode continuous flow microwave chemical reactor. The reaction solution adopts continuous pump or pressure pump to feed, and the feed inlet sets up in spiral coil upper portion, after the reaction solution gets into the spiral coil in the cavity, gradually by the pump body propulsion spiral coil bottom, after the reaction solution in the cavity rapid heating, upwards discharge by spiral coil bottom. Although the conventional solid single-mode continuous flow microwave chemical reactor can avoid the problems of the batch kettle type multimode microwave reactor, the reduced Pt-based catalyst falls back and is mixed with unreacted solution due to the problem of Pt-based catalyst accumulation caused by the vertical structural cavity of the reactor, so that the catalyst performance is affected. When the conventional solid single-mode continuous flow microwave chemical reactor with the vertical cavity is used for preparing the Pt-based catalyst, the problems of accumulation and mixing of the Pt-based catalyst exist, and the performance and batch-to-batch consistency of the Pt-based catalyst are further affected. In addition, at present, when a conventional solid single-mode continuous flow microwave chemical reactor is adopted to prepare the Pt-based catalyst, only the chemical reaction process and the dispersion chemical reaction solution can be completed, and the product washing step is completed in a segmented way. The complete equipment for batch production of the integrated proton exchange membrane fuel cell catalyst can meet the whole set of process flow of preparing the catalyst by using the microwave-assisted polyol method, and one process from feeding to finished product production is not available.
