Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for preparing a thin film fuel cell electrode using a nano-carbon material carrying catalyst, in particular to an electrolysis of low-voltage electrophoretic plating of nano carbon material. The method of using the catalyst to make a thin film fuel cell electrode and its application. '",, [previous technology] - the so-called thin film fuel cell' mainly includes Direct Methanol Fuel Celi (DMFC) and Proton Exchange Membrane Fuei CeU (PEMFC). The -f sub-exchange membrane is used as the (four) polymer electrolyte electrochemical power generation device. These are acid thin film fuel cells that require corrosion-resistant platinum-based catalysts such as platinum (Pt) and platinum-ruthenium (Pt-RU). Because of its high energy density, high power conversion efficiency, simple and lightweight structure, long time and easy carrying: Thin film fuel cells can be used to replace traditional electrochemical cells as electric vehicles, laptops, mobile phones and other electronic products. energy. The electrochemical catalyst of the thin film fuel cell is generally uniformly dispersed in the form of nano particles and adhered to the conductive carbon black powder, such as (10) (4) xc? 2 produced by Cabot Corporation of the United States. The conductive carbon black powder functions as a catalyst carrier and has the function of transmitting electrons or current; and the nano-catalyst layer of the electrode is produced in the following three ways: 200921977 (a) Direct coating on ion exchange (b) first applied to a separable substrate and then transferred to an ion exchange membrane; and (c) first coated on an electrode substrate and then directly hot pressed onto an ion exchange membrane. . The most illuminating electrochemical nanocatalyst coating methods include painting, spraying and printing. Its main purpose is to obtain a uniform and thin catalyst layer to improve the utilization efficiency of the catalyst and reduce the impedance of the catalyst layer. "With the advancement of nanotechnology, «Nearly there are many nano carbon materials, such as Carbon Nanotube (CNT), Carbon Nanofiber (CNF) and Nano Carbon Cone (Nan〇h_, CNH) was developed. Because of its excellent electrical conductivity and electrochemical stability, it has been studied as a carrier for a new generation of electrochemical catalysts to further enhance the performance of thin film fuel cells. However, in general, nano carbon materials are very bulky, and the length is much larger than that of conductive carbon black powder. Therefore, the electrochemical catalyst carried by the nano-catalyst is processed by a conventional catalyst coating method, and the catalyst layer is usually Too thick, loose structure, and a large amount of ion exchanger, resulting in too much impedance, especially for electrodes with high catalyst loading, such as 4 mg platinum 钌 (mg ptRu ) / square centimeter (cm 2 ); The electrochemical catalysts carried by these nanocarbon materials can not be applied to the fabrication of thin film fuel cell electrodes by conventional catalyst coating methods, and good results are obtained, so the thin film fuel cells use the thin film electrode combinations thereof. (Membrane Electrode Assembly, MEA), usually does not perform well. Therefore, the general use of 200921977 can not meet the needs of users in actual use. In addition, the recent electrophoresis method has also been studied to make a preliminary fuel cell electrode or membrane electrode combination, but it is generally used in a non-aqueous solution under high power, which is difficult and dangerous to operate, and does not meet environmental requirements. . The present invention will effectively solve these difficulties. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to produce a thin film fuel cell electrode using an inorganic carbon material to carry an electrochemical nanocatalyst by a low voltage electrophoresis electrophoresis method and an application thereof. The secondary object of the present invention is to pre-synthesize on a carrier which is not a stone-resistant material by using a catalyst, and it is relatively easy to control the composition of the catalyst to increase its stability, thereby maintaining the good shape and activity of the catalyst to simplify electricity. The operation of ice plating effectively enhances the function of its electrodes. The object (4) of the present invention is to prepare an electrode applicable to the anode or cathode of the thin film fuel cell by using the composition of the electrochemical nano-catalyst when performing the low-voltage electrophoretic electroplating of the aqueous electrophoretic electroplating solution. The catalyst coating on the electrode is thinned and thinned to reduce the amount of catalyst and reduce the electrode resistance. The utility model has the advantages of simple preparation, safe operation and environmental protection requirements, and can achieve the effect of solving the traditional method. The carbon fiber material is not easy to add to the problem. The rabbit nano-carbon material bearing contact is pre-synthesized in the above-mentioned purpose, and the invention is a medium-made thin film fuel cell electrode preparation method, 200921977, the electrochemical nano-catalyst on the surface of the carbon material, and an ion-containing ion The solution of the ionizer (Ionomer) is mixed with an electrolyte (Electrolyte), and is electrophoretically electroplated and suspended by shaking and stirring, and a suitable low DC voltage is applied to a separate electrophoresis plating tank to carry the nano carbon material.
