One of the feature key player becoming new forms of energy such as fuel cell possesses low stain, high efficiency, exempts from charging, noiseless, fuel source are wide, Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells can (80 DEG C) start this feature and receives extensive concern at very low temperature.Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), be the mutation of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, it can directly use methyl alcohol and not need to reform in advance.Compared with other battery, direct methanol fuel cell has following characteristics: the first, and its theoretical energy density is high especially, is the several times of existing lithium battery; The second, its extremely low working temperature makes it at room temperature can normally start; 3rd, fuel cost is low and store simple and convenient; 4th, its small in volume; 5th, need not the charging interval.Due to These characteristics, it is expected to be applied to various portable electric appts.Due to the problem of proton exchange membrane manufacturing technology, in course of reaction, methyl alcohol also can arrive negative electrode (methanol crossover) by proton exchange membrane from anode, thus reduces the electromotive force of battery and reduce the utilance of methyl alcohol.This problem seriously hinders applying of methanol fuel cell.
The main way of current solution methanol fuel cell infiltration is the methanol aqueous solution and the steam supply that adopt low concentration.Adopt the supply of the liquid of low concentration can effectively reduce the permeability of methyl alcohol, but the energy density of the obvious reduction system of meeting.Steam supply mode is gasified by methanol solution and participates in electrochemical reaction after passing through complicated diffusion structure, and the startability of battery can be caused like this to decline.
Utility model content
The purpose of this utility model is to provide a kind of direct methanol fuel cell, can improve the energy density of battery.
For achieving the above object, adopt technical scheme as follows:
A kind of direct methanol fuel cell, is made up of fuel supply channel, MEA film, single-excitation ultrasonic oval vibration energy converter, sealing device, package casing; Adopt adhesion, inlay or bury the mode covered, single-excitation ultrasonic oval vibration energy converter is arranged on package casing, becomes a part for fuel cell package shell or fuel supply channel anode flow field board; When using battery, fuel instils in single-excitation ultrasonic oval vibration energy converter, and fuel is supplied to anode with fine droplets and generates electricity.
By such scheme, the vibrating mass of described single-excitation ultrasonic oval vibration energy converter adopts piezoelectric ceramic piece.
By such scheme, described fuel cell is with fuel tank and emission-control equipment.
Owing to have employed the design philosophy integrated with the package casing of fuel cell, fuel battery energy metric density can not be reduced; Adopt the fuel of ultrasonic vibration supply mode supply fog form, the methyl alcohol of high concentration can be adopted and do not aggravate the infiltration of methyl alcohol, improving the energy density of fuel cell; Adopt the fuel of mode of vibration supply to be enter inside battery reaction with fine droplets, too high pressure differential can not be produced and cause methanol crossover to increase; Adopt the speed of mode of vibration supply fuel can control according to external circuit demand; The substance advantageous such as the living radical that ultrasonic vibration produces in methyl alcohol are in alleviation catalyst poisoning.
The beneficial effects of the utility model:
This novel advantage is only to need to utilize mechanical oscillation just can improve the starting resistor of fuel cell, transient state and steady-state behaviour, and the new method of to be a kind of can be current direct methanol types of fuel cells fuel supply fuel, effectively can reduce the infiltration of methyl alcohol and not reduce the energy density of system.The method that direct methanol fuel cell catalyst poisoning is alleviated in ultrasonic vibration is not limited to small-sized, single fuel cell, applicable equally for multiple or large-scale fuel cell.

Embodiment
Following examples are further illustrating technical solutions of the utility model, not as the restriction to protection range.
With reference to accompanying drawing 1, fuel channel 7 and flow field channel 3 sandwich MEA film 5, sealed by sealing ring 4 and 6, encapsulated by package casing 1 and 9, sealed by sealing ring 2 and 8, package casing 1 is connected by bolt or other modes with 9.Single-excitation ultrasonic oval vibration energy converter adopts to adhere to, inlay or bury the mode such as to be covered and is arranged on package casing, become a part for fuel cell package shell, to being about to the fuel ultrasonic radiation entering anode fuel feed path during work, after making it be atomized, enter feed path.Adopt the fuel of mode of vibration supply to be enter inside battery reaction with fine droplets, too high pressure differential can not be produced and cause methanol crossover to increase; Adopt the speed of mode of vibration supply fuel can control according to external circuit demand; The materials such as the living radical that ultrasonic vibration produces in methyl alcohol also help alleviation catalyst poisoning.
With reference to accompanying drawing 2, single-excitation ultrasonic oval vibration energy converter 10, the fuel of conveying from fuel tank 11 is supplied to anode of fuel cell by the form that vibration becomes fine droplet react, the electric energy produced is used for driving external loading 14, and the waste gas that fuel cell produces is recycled by emission-control equipment 13.
Adopt ultrasonic vibration supply fuel mode on the impact of direct methanol fuel cell open circuit voltage.Direct methanol fuel cell after improvement has carried out 2 groups of contrast tests, one is energized to ultrasonic transducer and makes it produce ultrasonic vibration, vibration frequency is 1MHz, fuel becomes small drop through ultrasonic transducer ground vibration plane after vibration, is then fed into the open circuit voltage generated electricity in fuel cell; Another kind is the open circuit voltage that the mode of direct feed fluid fuel traditionally carries out reacting.With reference to accompanying drawing 3, experimental result shows the open circuit voltage adopting the battery of ultrasonic vibration atomization supply fuel to be better than liquid supply.
Ultrasonic vibration mode is adopted to supply the impact of fuel on direct methanol fuel cell spark performance.Direct methanol fuel cell after improvement, one is energized to ultrasonic transducer and makes it produce ultrasonic vibration, and vibration frequency is 1MHz, the fuel of supply vibrated to the spark performance of rear direct methanol fuel cell; The mode of another direct feed fluid fuel traditionally carries out the stable discharging performance of reacting.As can be seen from experimental result, with reference to accompanying drawing 4, when carrying out discharge test to the load of change, the fuel cell system that the utility model proposes can keep good spark performance in each stage.
By adopting the mode of ultrasonic vibration to supply fuel, the infiltration of methyl alcohol decreases, and mass transport impedance diminishes thus battery open circuit voltage improves, and cell output also improves.
