Description
exchange membrane fuel cell)と呼ばれる燃料電池に関する。本発明はとりわけ、一般にこれら電池のバッテリー・コアと呼ばれるもので構成されるMEAとして知られる、膜−電極組立品(membrane−electrode assembly)のいずれの側にも配置されるガス拡散層に関する。
産業的スケール、とりわけ輸送用途に対する燃料電池の配備を可能にする目的で、それらの性能特性の改善及びコスト低減のため、多大な研究及び開発努力が現在続けられている。
―ガス拡散層の多孔性は、拡散層の圧縮が最大である複数の歯の下よりも溝の下がより高い。溝の下はより近づき易いため、ガスはそれゆえ溝の下に位置する触媒部位に向かって優先的に拡散するであろう。
―導電率は複数の歯の下でより高く、圧縮は層内の導電路に有利に働き、従って電子が主に集められるのは複数の歯を通じてである。
膜によって分離された第一電極と第二電極を含む、膜/電極組立品と、
組立品の電極と集電板との間の、組立品の各面上に積み重ねられたガス拡散層と
を備える燃料電池用のセルに関し、
組立品の両面に積み重ねられたガス拡散層が同じ剛性を持たず、ガス拡散層の内の1つが、厚さ方向に加えられた応力に関連して、少なくとも100のオーダーの比率で他の層のヤング率よりも大きいヤング率を有することを特徴とする。
