The main parameters for the preparation of the membrane electrode of the examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 Main parameters in the preparation of Membrane electrodes of examples and comparative examples
By comparing the polarization curves of the membrane electrode in the embodiment 1 with those in the comparative embodiment 1 and the embodiment 2 and the embodiment 3, as can be obtained by comparing the graph in fig. 2, the catalyst outer layer increases the content of the pore-forming agent, thereby effectively improving the power density of the membrane electrode; this is because the pore-forming agent increases the porosity of the catalyst layer, facilitating the passage of reactant gases into the catalyst layer through the proton exchange membrane, while the Nafion (r) adhesive layer, while being effective in reducing the ohmic polarization resistance, reduces the gas diffusion rate of the catalyst layer.
As can be seen from table 2, the difference in catalyst layer thickness between comparative example 1 and examples 4 and 5, and comparative example 2, the spray head corresponding to slurry B was rotated by a certain angle, so that the superposition of the middle dense area of the fan-shaped spray surface was reduced, and the dispersion was more uniform.
