Definitions
- Electrolyte membrane with diffusion barrier these comprehensive membrane electrode units, manufacturing processes and special uses
- the present invention relates to special proton-conductive, flexible electrolyte membranes for a fuel cell that have an outer proton-conductive coating that is insoluble in water and methanol on both sides, to methods for producing these electrolyte membranes, and to a flexible membrane electrode assembly for a fuel cell that comprises an electrolyte membrane according to the invention.
- the present invention further relates to special intermediates in the manufacture of the membrane electrode assembly and special uses of the electrolyte membrane and membrane electrode assembly.
- Fuel cells contain electrolyte membranes which, on the one hand, ensure the proton exchange between the half-cell reactions and, on the other hand, prevent a short circuit between the half-cell reactions.
- MEAs membrane electrode units
- Electrolyte membranes made from organic polymers which are modified with acidic groups such as National® (DuPont, EP 0 956 604), sulfonated polyether ketones (Höchst, EP 0 574 791), are known from the prior art as proton-exchanging membranes (PEMs) for fuel cells. , sulfonated hydrocarbons (Dais, EP 1 049 724) or the phosphoric acid-containing polybenzimidazole membranes (Celanese, WO 99/04445).
- PEMs proton-exchanging membranes
- organic polymers have the disadvantage that the conductivity depends on the water content of the membranes. Therefore, these membranes must be swollen in water before use in the fuel cell and although water is constantly being formed on the cathode, additional water must be added from the outside during operation of the membrane to prevent drying out or a decrease in proton conductivity.
- organic polymer membranes in a fuel cell must both and operated on the cathode side in an atmosphere saturated with water vapor.
- electrolyte membranes made of organic polymers cannot be used, because at temperatures of more than about 100 ° C the water content in the membrane at atmospheric pressure can no longer be guaranteed.
- the use of such membranes in a reformate or direct methanol fuel cell is therefore generally not possible.
- the polymer membranes show a too high permeability for methanol when used in a direct methanol fuel cell.
- the so-called cross-over of methanol on the cathode side means that only low power densities can be achieved in the direct methanol fuel cell.
- Inorganic proton conductors are e.g. B. from “Proton Conductors", P. Colomban, Cambridge University Press, 1992 known.
- proton-conductive zirconium phosphates known from EP 0 838 258 show conductivities which are too low.
- a usable proton conductivity is only achieved at temperatures which are above the operating temperatures of a fuel cell that occur in practice.
- Known proton-conducting MHSO 4 salts are readily soluble in water and are therefore only of limited use for fuel cell applications in which water is formed in the fuel cell reaction (WO 00/45447).
- Known inorganic proton-conducting materials can also not be produced in the form of thin membrane foils, which are required to provide a low total resistance of the cell. Low sheet resistances and high power densities of a fuel cell for technical applications in automobile construction are therefore not possible with the known materials.
- WO 99/62620 proposes an ion-conducting, permeable composite material as well its use as an electrolyte membrane of an MEA in a fuel cell.
- the electrolyte membrane from the prior art consists of a metal network which is coated with a porous ceramic material to which a proton-conducting material has been applied.
- This electrolyte membrane has a proton conductivity superior to an organic Nafion membrane at temperatures of more than 80 ° C.
- the prior art does not contain an embodiment of a fuel cell in which such an electrolyte membrane was used.
- the electrolyte membrane known from WO 99/62620 has serious disadvantages with regard to the usability of an MEA containing this electrolyte membrane in practice and with regard to the production process which is required for the provision of such MEAs. Due to these disadvantages, the MEA known from WO 99/62620 is unsuitable for use in a fuel cell in practice. It has been shown that the known electrolyte membranes have good proton conductivity at elevated temperatures, but that, under practical conditions of use, short circuits occur in a fuel cell that render the electrolyte membranes unusable.
- glass supports are not excluded, but due to the low acid stability of glasses, long-term stability under the strongly acidic conditions in a fuel cell is problematic, especially with regard to long-term stability with a required service life of more than 5000 hours in a fuel cell on board a vehicle , Furthermore, the electrolyte membranes known from WO 99/62620 are problematic with regard to the adhesion of the ceramic material to the metal carrier, so that the ceramic layer has to be expected to detach from the metal network in the event of long standing times.
- membranes which have no metal support (DE 100 61 920, DE 101 15 927, DE 101 15 928). Although these membranes are excellent proton-conducting materials, in practice it has been shown that the use of these membranes in the fuel cell leads to a significant loss in the power density of the cell over time. The reason for this is the gradual "bleeding" of the electrolyte. Although the known membranes are only operated at low humidities, the bleeding is inevitable, because in the fuel cell on the cathode there is always water. This water leaches out of the electrolyte and a drop in the pH value can be observed in downstream gas scrubbers. As the electrolyte bleeds out, the conductivity of the membrane and thus the performance of the cell decrease.
- sulfonic and phosphonic acids which are immobilized are also used as proton-conducting materials. Because of the proton conductivity required for use in fuel cells, the largest possible ratio of acid groups to network formers is required in these applications. These insufficiently immobilized acids are washed out during operation of the fuel cell due to the insufficient fixation in the material.
- the mineral acids also mentioned in these applications are not chemically bound to the inorganic network at all. Proton-conducting membranes made from them lose power much faster in the fuel cell than the silylsulfonic or phosphonic acids due to the loss of electrolytes.
- the aim of the present invention is now to optimize the existing proton-conducting membranes so that they withstand the requirements in the fuel cell.
- the use of proton-conducting membranes in direct methanol fuel cells, in which a liquid water / methanol mixture is added as fuel on the anode side, is to be made possible.
- (iii) has mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and flexibility, which are suitable for use under extreme conditions, such as occur during the operation of a vehicle, are suitable, (iv) elevated operating temperatures of more than 80 ° C tolerated, (v) regardless of the proton-conductive material, can be produced in membrane thicknesses that are at least as thin as those that can be achieved with conventional naf ⁇ on membranes,
- this object can be achieved by applying a very thin coating with a proton-conducting material, which acts as a diffusion barrier and is not soluble in water and methanol, to an electrolyte membrane. Since this layer can be made very thin, the proton conductivity of the membrane itself is only slightly influenced, although the coating has a significantly lower proton conductivity than the actual membrane.
- the present invention therefore relates to the reaction components of the fuel cell reaction, impermeable, proton-conductive, electrolyte membranes for a fuel cell, comprising a material-permeable composite material made of a support which comprises perforated, non-conductive, glass or ceramic, the composite material being permeated with a proton-conductive material which is suitable selectively conduct protons through the membrane, which are characterized in that the electrolyte membranes have an outer proton-conductive coating on at least one side, which is insoluble in water and methanol.
- the present invention also relates to a method for producing an electrolyte membrane according to the invention, which is characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
- the present invention also relates to a preferably flexible membrane electrode unit for a fuel cell, with an electrically conductive anode and cathode layer, each on opposite sides of a proton-conductive electrolyte membrane for a fuel cell, which is impermeable to the reaction components of the fuel cell reaction, in particular according to one of claims 1 to 30, are provided, the electrolyte membrane comprising a permeable composite material which is permeated with a proton-conductive material which is suitable for selectively guiding protons through the membrane, and which on at least one side, preferably on all sides, particularly preferably on two sides outer proton conductive coating as a diffusion barrier, which is insoluble in water and methanol and wherein the anode layer and the cathode layer are porous and each have a catalyst for the anode and cath ode reaction, a proton conductive component and optionally a catalyst support.
- the present invention also relates to a method for producing a membrane electrode unit according to the invention, the method comprising the following steps: (A) Provision of a proton-conductive, flexible electrolyte membrane which is impermeable to the reaction components of the fuel cell reaction, for a fuel cell, in particular an electrolyte membrane according to the invention, the electrolyte membrane having a permeable composite material made of a flexible, breakthrough, non-conductive, glass or ceramic carrier, wherein the
- Composite material is interspersed with a proton-conductive material which is suitable for selectively guiding protons through the membrane, and wherein the electrolyte membrane has an outer proton-conductive coating as a diffusion barrier on at least one side, preferably all sides, (B) provision in each case a means for producing an anode layer and a cathode layer, the means in each case comprising: (B1) a condensable component which, after the condensation of the electrode layer
- (B3) optionally a carrier and (B4) optionally a pore former, (C) applying the agents from stage (B) to one side of the electrolyte membrane from stage (A) to form a coating, (D) creating a firm bond between the Coatings and the electrolyte membrane to form a porous, proton-conductive anode layer or cathode layer, wherein the formation of the anode layer and the cathode layer can take place simultaneously or in succession.
- the present invention also relates to the use of an electrolyte membrane according to the invention or a membrane electrode assembly according to the invention in a fuel cell or for producing a fuel cell or a fuel cell stack.
- the present invention relates to fuel cells with an electrolyte membrane according to the invention, fuel cells with a membrane electrode unit according to the invention and mobile or stationary systems with a membrane electrode unit, a fuel cell or a fuel cell stack containing an electrolyte membrane according to the invention or a membrane electrode unit according to the invention.
- the practical usability of an electrolyte membrane known from the prior art is related to the fact that the electrolyte is leached out of the membrane, in particular by water and / or methanol.
- the membranes according to the invention have the advantage that they have coatings which are insoluble in water and / or methanol as so-called diffusion barriers which prevent the electrolyte from leaching out. Despite these coatings, the membranes according to the invention are very flexible and can be made very thin.
- an electrolyte membrane which is useful in practice and in particular insensitive to short circuits and cross-over problems can be provided if a non-conductive support comprising glass and / or ceramic is selected as the material for the membrane support.
- the electrolyte membrane of the present invention has the advantage that it does not have to be swelled in water to achieve useful conductivity. It is therefore much easier to combine the electrodes and the electrolyte membrane to form a membrane electrode assembly. In particular, it is not necessary to provide a swollen membrane with an electrode layer, as is necessary in the case of a Nafion membrane, in order to prevent the electrode layer from tearing during swelling. Also by the choice of special non-conductive material as a carrier z. B. a solid adhesion of a porous ceramic material to the carrier is possible by choosing an all-ceramic carrier. In a special embodiment, by using only a single ceramic material, phase boundaries between different materials in the composite material according to the invention can be avoided.
- the electrolyte membrane according to the invention can be used in a reformate or direct methanol fuel cell, which has a long service life and a long service life Have power densities even at low water partial pressures and high temperatures.
- the water balance of the new membrane electrode units by adjusting the hydrophobicity / hydrophilicity of the membrane and electrodes.
- the effect of capillary condensation can also be exploited through the targeted creation of nanopores in the membrane. Flooding of the electrodes by product water or drying out of the membrane at a higher operating temperature or current density can thus be avoided.
- the membranes of the invention are gas-tight or impermeable to the reaction components in a fuel cell, such as. B. hydrogen, oxygen, air and / or methanol.
- gas-tight or impermeable to the reaction components is understood to mean that less than 50 liters of hydrogen and less than 25 liters of oxygen per day, bar and square meter pass through the membranes according to the invention and that the membrane's permeability to methanol is significantly less than with commercially available Nafion membranes, which are usually also referred to as impermeable.
- the proton-conductive electrolyte membrane for a fuel cell which is impermeable to the reaction components of the fuel cell reaction, comprises a permeable composite material made of a perforated, non-conductive, glass or ceramic carrier, the composite material being permeated with a proton-conductive material which is suitable for selectively protons Conducting the membrane is characterized in that it has an outer proton-conductive coating on at least one side, which is insoluble in water and / or methanol.
- the membrane according to the invention preferably has the coating on all sides, which usually have contact with the anodes and cathodes, or with the starting materials and / or the secondary products (water) in the fuel cell, the so-called functional sides. Since the electrolyte membrane usually has two functional sides, the electrolyte membrane according to the invention has an outer proton-conductive coating on both sides as a diffusion barrier, which is insoluble in water and methanol.
- the electrolyte membrane according to the invention can also be flexible. In this embodiment of the electrolyte membrane according to the invention, the permeable composite material must also be flexible.
- the electrolyte membrane preferably has an immobilized hydroxysilylalkyl acid of sulfur or phosphorus as the proton-conductive material, and optionally an oxide of aluminum, silicon, titanium, zirconium and / or phosphorus as a network former, and / or a Bronsted acid and an oxide of aluminum, silicon, titanium, zirconium , and / or phosphorus as a network former.

- the proton-conductive material can optionally contain an oxide of aluminum, silicon, titanium, zirconium and / or phosphorus as a network former. Such an oxide is essential when using a ⁇ Brönsted acid in order to obtain a stable gel which has elastic and plastic properties.
- the additional oxide can be dispensed with, since an SiO 2 network can form in which the acidic groups via the three remaining OH groups of the Hydroxysilylalkyl acid are condensed.
- the network can also contain other network-forming oxides such as SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , ZrO, or TiO 2 .
