Humidification is performed to prevent the ion exchange membrane and the catalyst electrode layer from drying out and lowering the ionic conductivity, which can also be optimized in the same manner.

It was immersed in a mixed solution of tetramethylamine-1,6-hexanediamine (1.7 g (0.01 mol)). After 48 hours, it was taken out, washed and dried to obtain a laminate.

- the temperature of the fuel cell was 50 ° C.
- the voltage value when a current of 500 mA was taken out from this cell was measured.
- Table 2 shows the results of the above measurement results (water content, ion exchange capacity, power generation output test (cell voltage), power generation durability test (endurance time)).
- Example 2 The same operation as in Example 1 was performed except that a laminate was produced using the anion conductive elastomer precursor 1 and the monofunctional quaternizing agent and the polyfunctional quaternizing agent shown in Table 2. It was.
- the thickness of the catalyst electrode layer in the laminate was the same as in Example 1. After measuring the moisture content of the obtained laminate, it was incorporated into a fuel cell, and an output test and an endurance test were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1. These measurement results are shown in Table 2.
- the water content was changed by changing the ratio of the quaternizing agent, and the value became smaller as the multifunctional quaternizing agent was increased. This is because the degree of cross-linking of the anion conductive elastomer increases as the polyfunctional quaternizing agent increases.
- the cell voltage during power generation was higher when the crosslinked structure was formed than when the crosslinked structure was not formed (see Comparative Example 1). This is considered to be because the formation of a crosslinked structure suppresses the swelling of the catalyst electrode layer, so that the fuel gas or oxidant gas easily reaches the catalyst surface, and the reaction necessary for power generation proceeds well. It is done. However, when the degree of crosslinking becomes too high, the value is higher than that of the non-crosslinked one (Comparative Example 1), but the cell voltage tends to decrease slightly (Examples 1 to 5 and Example 6). Comparison).
- Comparative Example 1 The same operation as in Example 1 was performed using the anion conductive elastomer precursor and the monofunctional quaternizing agent shown in Table 2. The results are shown in Table 2. The thickness of the layer containing the anion conductive elastomer comprising the anion conductive elastomer precursor and the monofunctional quaternizing agent and the catalyst was the same as in Example 1.
- the water content was higher than when using a multifunctional quaternizing agent. This is probably because it does not have a crosslinked structure.
- the cell voltage when generating power at 500 mA was smaller than in Examples 1-6. This is presumably because the absence of the cross-linking structure caused the elastomer to swell and the fuel gas or oxidant gas from reaching the catalyst surface, thereby suppressing the progress of the reaction necessary for power generation.
- Comparative Example 1 having no cross-linked structure the durability time was shorter than in Examples 1 to 6 having a cross-linked structure.
- water is supplied to the catalyst electrode layer, which is considered to swell.
- it does not have a cross-linked structure, it is considered that the catalyst electrode layer is deformed due to swelling, and the fuel gas or the oxidant gas hardly reaches the catalyst surface.
- Examples 7-12 1 g of the anion conductive elastomer precursor shown in Table 4 was dissolved in 100 ml of chloroform, and 2 g of catalyst (platinum particles having a particle diameter of 2 to 10 nm supported on carbon particles having a primary particle diameter of 30 to 50 nm) was added and dispersed to prepare a catalyst electrode precursor layer composition. This was coated on two carbon porous membranes (HGP-H-060 manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc., thickness: 200 ⁇ m: gas diffusion layer) cut to an outer size of 23 mm square, and then dried to provide a gas diffusion electrode intermediate. (Carbon porous membrane / laminated structure of catalyst electrode precursor layer) was obtained.
- HGP-H-060 manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc., thickness: 200 ⁇ m: gas diffusion layer
- the gas diffusion electrode intermediate was immersed in 10 ml of a mixture of monofunctional quaternizing agent and polyfunctional quaternizing agent shown in Table 4. After 48 hours, it was taken out, washed and dried to obtain a laminate. The thickness of the catalyst electrode layer in the laminate was the same as in Example 1.

この電極用の触媒は、公知の触媒を使用することができる。例えば、水素の酸化反応及び酸素の還元反応を促進する白金、金、銀、パラジウム、イリジウム、ロジウム、ルテニウム、スズ、鉄、コバルト、ニッケル、モリブデン、タングステン、バナジウム、あるいはそれらの合金等の金属粒子が制限なく使用できるが、触媒活性が優れていることから白金族触媒を用いるのが好適である。
本発明において、触媒電極層は、前記スチレン系エラストマーの芳香環に4級塩基型陰イオン交換基を導入し、かつ、少なくとも一部の該4級塩基型陰イオン交換基が架橋構造を形成してなる陰イオン伝導性エラストマー、及び電極用の触媒を含んでなる。
また、本発明の方法によれば、触媒電極層は、以下の方法で製造することもできる。具体的には、前記陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体、及び電極用の触媒を含む触媒電極前駆体層を形成し、該触媒電極前駆体層と多官能性4級化剤とを接触させることにより、該陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体を4級塩基型陰イオン交換基により架橋して触媒電極層を形成することができる。この方法(後架橋方法)によれば、同じ種類の触媒電極前駆体層を多く製造し、それぞれの触媒電極層に濃度の異なる多官能性4級化剤含有液を接触させ、触媒電極層中の多官能性4級化剤の含有量を変えることにより、架橋度の異なる様々な触媒電極層を形成することが可能となる。
後架橋により触媒電極層を形成するためには、以下の方法を採用すればよい。先ず、触媒電極前駆体層を形成する方法について説明する。例えば、前記陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体、電極用の触媒を含む触媒電極前駆体層用組成物をロール成形や押出成形することにより、触媒電極前駆体層を形成することができる。
先ず、ガス拡散層として機能する支持層(カーボン製多孔質膜)、または固体高分子電解質膜(陰イオン交換膜)上に、前記触媒電極前駆体層用組成物を塗布する。次いで、溶媒を乾燥し、カーボン製多孔質膜上に触媒電極前駆体層を形成する。さらに、該触媒電極前駆体層と多官能性4級化剤とを接触させることにより、触媒電極前駆体層中の陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体を4級塩基型陰イオン交換基でより架橋する。
上記のようにして作製した、ガス拡散層として機能する支持層(カーボン製多孔質膜)、又は固体高分子電解質膜(陰イオン交換膜)の上に形成された触媒電極層を用いれば、例えば図1に示す構成にて固体高分子型燃料電池を組み立てることができる。
ポリスチレン-ポリ(エチレン-ブチレン)-ポリスチレン共重合体(25℃におけるヤング率 30MPa、数平均分子量30、000、芳香族(スチレン)含有量30質量%、水素添加率99%)であるスチレン系エラストマー20gを1000mlのクロロホルムに溶解し、クロルメチルエチルエーテル100g、無水塩化スズSnCl4 100gを氷冷下で添加した後、100℃で3時間反応させた。次に、大量のメタノールを用いて重合物を沈殿させた後に分離し、真空乾燥によりクロルメチル化された陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体1を得た。
多官能性4級化剤としてN,N,N',N'-テトラメチル-1,6-ブタンジアミンを使用し、単官能性4級化剤としてトリメチルアミン(13C同位体のもの)を使用した。これら4級化剤の配合割合を表1のように変えた混合溶液中に、前記陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体を浸漬させて、検量線作成用の触媒電極層を種々作製した。その結果を表1に示す。なお、含水率、イオン交換容量の測定は、下記の積層体を測定した際と同様の方法で実施した。
(積層体の作製方法:イオン交換膜上に触媒電極前駆体層を積層した後、積層体とする方法)
陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体1を1gとりクロロホルム100mlに溶解し、触媒(一次粒径30~50nmのカーボン粒子上に、粒径2~10nmの白金粒子が担持されたもの)2gを加えて分散させ、触媒電極前駆体層用組成物を調製した。これを、陰イオン交換膜(陰イオン交換容量が1.8mmol/g、25℃における含水率が25質量%、乾燥膜厚は28μm、外寸40mm角)の上に23mm四方(約5cm2)にて塗布後、乾燥させ膜電極接合体中間体(陰イオン交換膜/触媒電極前駆体層の積層構造)を得た。該膜電極接合体中間体を、単官能性4級化剤(トリエチルアミン 30%水溶液 17.7g(トリエチルアミン0.1mol))と多官能性4級化剤(N,N,N’,N’-テトラメチルアミン-1,6-ヘキサンジアミン 1.7g(0.01mol))の混合溶液中に浸漬した。48時間後に取り出し、洗浄、乾燥し積層体を得た。得られた積層体において、触媒電極層の厚みは、5μmであった。
得られた積層体をバキュームオーブンに入れ、50℃、10mmHgの減圧下にて12時間乾燥し、その重量を測定した(W1とする)。さらにこのガス拡散電極を40℃、90%RHに調湿したグローブボックス中に12時間静置して水分を吸収させた後に、その重量を測定した(W2とする)。また、同様の操作で、積層体と同一面積の陰イオン交換膜のみの減圧乾燥後の重量(W3とする)、90%RH調湿後の重量(W4)を測定した。
このとき、含水率は、次式により求めた。
含水率 = (W2-W4-(W1-W3))÷ (W1-W3)
作製した積層体を1(mol/l)のHCl水溶液に10時間以上浸漬して塩素イオン型とした後、1(mol/l)のNaNO3 水溶液で硝酸イオン型に置換させ、遊離した塩素イオンをイオンクロマトグラフ(ICS-2000、日本ダイオネクス社製)で定量した。分析条件は以下のとおりである。
分析カラム:IonPac AS-17(日本ダイオネクス社製)
溶離液: 35(mmol/L) KOH水溶液 1ml/min
カラム温度: 35℃
この時の定量値をA(mol)とする。次に、同じ積層体を1(mol/l)HCl水溶液に4時間以上浸漬し、60℃で5時間減圧乾燥させその重量を測定した。この時の重量をW2(g)とする。
上記測定値に基づいて、イオン交換容量は次式により求めた。
イオン交換容量=(A―B)×1000/(W1-W2)[mmol/g-乾燥重量]
23mm角(約5cm2)に切断したカーボン製多孔質膜(東レ株式会社製 HGP-H-060、厚みは200μm)を2枚用いて、上記積層体の両面にある触媒電極層に一枚ずつ積層し、膜電極接合体(MEA)とした。このMEAを図1に示す燃料電池セルに組み込んだ。
燃料ガスとして50℃、100%RHに加湿した水素 100ml/minを、酸化剤ガスとして50℃、100%RHに加湿した空気 200ml/minを、燃料電池セルに供給した。燃料電池セルの温度は50℃とした。このセルから500mAの電流を取り出したときの電圧値を測定した。
燃料ガスとして80℃、100%RHに加湿した水素 100ml/minを、酸化剤ガスとして80℃、100%RHに加湿した空気 200ml/minを、燃料電池セルに供給した。燃料電池セルの温度は80℃とした。また、この状態で、電圧値が初期の1/2となるまでの時間を測定した。
陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体1および、表2に示した単官能性4級化剤、多官能性4級化剤を用いて積層体を作製した以外は、実施例1と同様の操作を行った。積層体における触媒電極層の厚みは、実施例1と同じであった。得られた積層体の含水率を測定後、燃料電池セルに組み込み、出力試験、耐久試験を実施例1と同様の方法で評価を行った。これら測定結果を表2に示す。
表2に示した陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体、及び単官能性4級化剤を用い、実施例1と同様の操作を行なった。その結果を表2に示した。陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体と単官能性4級化剤とからなる陰イオン伝導性エラストマーと触媒とを含む層の厚みは、実施例1と同じであった。
表3に示したスチレン系エラストマーを用いて、陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体1の合成方法と同じ操作を行い、陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体2~6を得た。
表4に示した陰イオン伝導性エラストマー前駆体を1gとりクロロホルム100mlに溶解し、触媒(一次粒径30~50nmのカーボン粒子上に、粒径2~10nmの白金粒子が担持されたもの)2gを加えて分散させ、触媒電極前駆体層用組成物を調製した。これを、外寸23mm角に切断した2枚のカーボン製多孔質膜(東レ株式会社製 HGP-H-060、厚みは200μm:ガス拡散層)の上に塗布後、乾燥させガス拡散電極中間体(カーボン製多孔質膜/触媒電極前駆体層の積層構造)を得た。ガス拡散電極中間体を、表4に示した単官能性4級化剤および多官能性4級化剤の混合物10ml中に浸漬した。48時間後に取り出し、洗浄、乾燥し積層体を得た。積層体における触媒電極層の厚みは、実施例1と同じであった。
