Background technology
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) is a kind of Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) that the chemical energy in fuel and the oxidant is directly changed into electric energy by electrochemical reaction.It is to be electrolyte with the solid polymer membrane with good proton-conducting, the anode that one side of film is made up of Catalytic Layer and gas diffusion layers, the negative electrode that opposite side is made up of Catalytic Layer and gas diffusion layers, be Catalytic Layer between gas diffusion layers and proton exchange membrane, pole catalyze layer provides electrochemical reaction.Anode, solid polymer electrolytic film and negative electrode three press together and constitute Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) core component---membrane electrode three-in-one (MEA), the three-in-one both sides of membrane electrode are provided with the graphite cake of gas flow channel or surface modification of metals plate (bipolar plates) back constitutes the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells monocell, and several are superimposed and constitute pile in the filter press mode to hundreds of monocells.During oxidants such as fuel such as antianode hydrogen supply or reformation gas, target supply oxygen or air, go up the generation electrochemical reaction, the chemical energy in fuel and the oxidant is converted into electric energy at membrane electrode three-in-one (MEA).
The proton exchange membrane of proton exchange membrane is the PEMFC critical component, and it directly influences battery performance and life-span.The proton exchange membrane that is used for PEMFC must satisfy following condition:
(1) has high H
+Conducting power, generally speaking conductivity will reach the order of magnitude of 0.01S/cm;
(2) under the condition of PEMFC operation promptly in battery operated temperature, under the operating potential of oxidation and reducing atmosphere and electrode, membrane structure and resin composition remain unchanged, and promptly have good chemistry and electrochemical stability;
(3) no matter film all should have the infiltration coefficient of low reacting gas such as hydrogen, oxygen at dry state or hygrometric state (full suction), guarantee that battery has high faraday (enclosed pasture) efficient; Generally speaking, the gas permeability coefficient of film<10
-8Cm
3Cmcm

(4) a certain temperature before the film resin decomposition temperature such as vitrifying or near vitrification point, the film surface has certain viscoplasticity combine the minimizing contact resistance in order to electrocatalyst layers when the preparation membrane electrode is three-in-one and film;
(5) no matter at dry state or hygrometric state, film all should have certain mechanical strength, is suitable for the assembling of three-in-one preparation of membrane electrode and battery pack.
In fuel cell and since ion be with the state of hydrated ion by anode to cathode motion; Simultaneously, the electrochemical reaction of carrying out in the proton exchange membrane course of work is an exothermic reaction, and battery is worked under the condition of high temperature, and the moisture evaporation in the proton exchange membrane is accelerated and dewatered.And lack moisture the conductivity of film is descended rapidly,, must carry out humidification to reacting gas, so be equipped with humidification system among the PEMFC for replenishing the proton exchange membrane loss of moisture in the course of the work.And humidification system makes the volume of whole system increase, and has reduced the specific energy density of PEMFC.So,, research and develop the attention more and more widely that obtained of novel no humidifying proton exchange film material for satisfying the requirement of fuel cell technology practicability, industrialization.
