Description

Fuel cell-use fuel, fuel cell and application thereof
Invention field
The present invention's (the 1st mode) is about fuel cell-use fuel and supply method thereof, the problem of the burn into of operability, peripheral equipment that is particularly related to the organic system fuel of methyl alcohol that solution uses etc. in fuel cell seeing through in battery etc. seeks to improve generating efficiency and the fuel cell-use fuel of stable operation and the method that this fuel cell-use fuel is supplied with to fuel cell of fuel cell.
The present invention's (the 2nd mode) is the amount detection method about the fuel material in the fuel cell-use fuel composition, particularly detects the method for residual volume of the fuel material of the methyl alcohol supplied with to fuel cell etc. simply.
The present invention's (the 3rd mode) be about solid electrolyte fuel cell with fuel, solid electrolyte fuel cell and using method thereof, the solid electrolyte fuel cell that sees through that particularly can suppress the fuel in the solid electrolyte fuel cell is with fuel and use the solid electrolyte fuel cell and the using method thereof of this solid electrolyte fuel cell usefulness fuel.
The present invention's (the 4th mode) relates to the method that discharges fuel cell-use fuel from the fuel composition that contains fuel cell-use fuel fairly simplely.
Background technology
Solid macromolecular electrolyte type fuel cell, be that solid electrolyte film with perfluoro sulfonic acid membrane etc. is as electrolyte, engage fuel electrodes and oxidizing agent pole on the two sides of this film and constitute, anode supply with hydrogen, methyl alcohol etc. the liquid organic-fuel, supply with oxygen to negative electrode, the device that generates electricity by electrochemical reaction.
Among fuel cell, in recent years with the direct-type methanol fuel cell be representative, liquid organic-fuel upgrading is not being carried out with regard to the exploitation of the fuel cell directly supplied with to fuel electrodes always actively.The fuel cell that liquid organic-fuel upgrading is just directly supplied with to fuel electrodes not because be structure with the direct fueling utmost point of liquid organic-fuel, does not therefore need the device of modifier and so on.Therefore, there is the formation of battery simple, can will installs the advantage of integral miniaturization simultaneously.With the gaseous fuel of hydrogen, appropriate hydrocarbon gas etc. relatively, the liquid organic-fuel that acts as a fuel has can be easily and the advantage of transportation safely.
In fuel cell, in the electrochemical reaction of each electrode generation, for anode, under the situation of using methyl alcohol, for:
···[1]
In addition, for negative electrode, for:
[2] for this reaction takes place, two electrodes are made of the mixture of carbon particulate that has supported catalyst material and solid macromolecule electrolyte.
In such solid macromolecular electrolyte type fuel cell, under the situation of using methyl alcohol to act as a fuel, the pore of methyl alcohol from electrode that anode (fuel electrodes) is supplied with is by arriving catalyst, because catalyst action makes methyl alcohol be decomposed, and generates electronics and hydrogen ion by the reaction of above-mentioned reaction equation [1].Hydrogen ion from anode electrolyte and two interelectrode solid electrolyte films in by arriving negative electrode (oxidizing agent pole), with the oxygen of supplying with negative electrode and the electron reaction that flows into from external circuit, as above-mentioned reaction equation [2], produce water.On the other hand, the catalyst carrier of electronics from negative electrode that discharges from methyl alcohol passed through and to the external circuit derivation, flowed into negative electrode from external circuit.This result, externally in the circuit, electronics to cathode flow, sends electric power from anode.
This is the direct-type methanol fuel cell of fuel with methyl alcohol, and applicable as portable possibility height with small fuel cell, as portable secondary cell of future generation with computer and portable phone etc., exploitation is being carried out always actively in recent years.
Usually in the fuel cell that uses the liquid organic-fuel, use to comprise the solid polyelectrolyte membrane of solid polymer ion exchanger resin as electrolyte.Here, fuel cell need move to oxidizing agent pole (negative electrode) from fuel electrodes (anode) in this film at the hydrogen ion that anode takes place in order to bring into play function.Known in this hydrionic moves with the motion of water, it is necessary containing certain moisture in this dielectric film.
, in the occasion of using the liquid organic-fuel of the high methyl alcohol of water affinity etc., this liquid organic-fuel spreads in the solid polyelectrolyte membrane that contains moisture, and then arrives oxidizing agent pole, causes that what is called is called as the phenomenon that sees through.See through,, can not be used as fuel effectively, cause that therefore voltage, power output reduce, fuel efficiency reduces because should provide the liquid organic-fuel of electronics oxidized to fuel electrodes originally because of arriving the oxidizing agent pole side.Methanol concentration in the fuel is high more, and methyl alcohol penetrate is remarkable more, therefore in the direct-type methanol fuel cell, is difficult to use the methanol fuel of high concentration.
In order to solve the problem of above-mentioned methyl alcohol penetrate, following various methodologies had been proposed in the past.
[1] method (spy opens flat 11-26005 communique, the spy opens 2002-83612 communique etc.) that improves of the dielectric film between antianode and the negative electrode, its structure.
[2] liquid fuel is used the gasification of gasifier or heater earlier, then the method (for example the spy opens the 2001-93541 communique) of anode supply.
[3] methyl alcohol is replaced with other alcohols (isopropyl alcohols; The spy opens the 2003-217642 communique) or other organic system fuel (cycloalkane; The spy opens the 2003-323896 communique) method.
[4] in the liquid organic-fuel, cooperate carbohydrate, alcohols etc., the method (spy opens the 2004-39293 communique) of utilizing the osmotic pressure in fuel cell to suppress to see through.
, even above-mentioned method in the past can not fully be tackled methyl alcohol penetrate, wish further to improve.
In addition, in the direct-type methanol fuel cell that with methyl alcohol is fuel, also there is the operational problem of following methyl alcohol in methyl alcohol penetrate not only:
(1) stoste of methyl alcohol is equivalent to the violent in toxicity of violent in toxicity regulation law, is equivalent to danger the 4th class etc., needs sufficient attention in operation;
(2) methyl alcohol is liquid, therefore needs to prepare not have the high container of seal of leak of liquid;
Also there is following or the like problem:
(3) when using the methanol aqueous solution of high concentration in order to improve generating efficiency, the electrode of fuel cell is caused damage, corrode peripheral metal material;
(4) as above-mentioned, methanol concentration high methanol more sees through remarkable more; The stoste of methyl alcohol is equivalent to the violent in toxicity of violent in toxicity regulation law, also is equivalent to danger the 4th class, or the like, be in operation, to need the fuel that gives one's full attention to; The problem of high concentration methanol existence corrosion etc.Because above-mentioned or the like reason, when using methyl alcohol to act as a fuel, the aqueous solution of making usually about 10-30 weight % uses, but there is the problem of freezing in the methanol aqueous solution of such low concentration when particularly using in the place of cold.In this case, because can not be used as fuel, use the back that therefore need thaw.In addition, when freezing, also exist to form the problem of the CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION of first alcohol and water, in order to eliminate this CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION, need the fuel that freeze be thawed fully, vibration container etc. thereafter forms behind the homogeneous solution and uses trivial operations.
Even the organic system fuel of other beyond the methyl alcohol also can cause the problem of above-mentioned (1)-(4), but these problems is still unresolved at present.
In addition, still do not detect at present the method for the residual volume of fuel cell-use fuel simply, for this reason, before fuel cell-use fuel is consumed whole amounts, prepare necessary amount fuel, suitable carry out supply or the like exactly fueling be difficult.
And, also there is following problem at present.
Be used as hydrogen, its dangerous height of methyl alcohol of the fuel of fuel cell, operational problem is a lot.As the method for storing such fuel safely, reported the method that makes fuel become molecular compound (WO2004000857); Polymer is absorbed and make it the method (spy opens the 2004-127659 communique) of gelation.In the past, as these fuel cell-use fuels are formed stable compositions,, generally be the heating fuel composition again from wherein discharging the method for fuel cell-use fuel, fuel is discharged.
; in order to heat the fuel composition that contains fuel cell-use fuel, fuel to be discharged; the device that need be used to heat; in addition; the macro-energy that need be used to heat; therefore in the industrial advantageous method of can not saying so, seek a kind of method that discharges fuel from the fuel composition that contains fuel cell-use fuel more easily always.
