Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrolyte membrane, an electrolyte membrane with a catalyst layer, a membrane electrode assembly, and a water electrolysis device.
- One of the hydrogen production methods is water electrolysis.
- water electrolysis By electrolyzing water using surplus electricity from renewable energy, it is possible to convert electricity into hydrogen energy without emitting carbon dioxide.
- hydrogen can be transported by tanker or tanker, and can be supplied when and where it is needed, so water electrolysis has great potential as a tool for power storage.
- Hydrogen production methods using water electrolysis include alkaline water electrolysis and polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis.
- Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis can be operated at high current density and is less susceptible to fluctuations in the output of renewable energy. It has the advantage of being able to respond flexibly.
- fluorine-based polymer electrolytes such as perfluorocarbon sulfonic acid have been generally known as polymer electrolytes constituting electrolyte membranes.
- hydrocarbon-based polymer electrolytes in place of fluorine-based polymer electrolytes has been considered from the viewpoint of material costs and the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- the present invention aims to provide an electrolyte membrane with good durability.
- the present inventors have discovered that the above problem is that polymer electrolytes are easily degraded by attack by hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide radicals, and that hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide radicals are generated at the cathode in water electrolyzers. This led to the discovery that this is due to the fact that the electrolyte membrane is in an environment where it is easily attacked, leading to the completion of the present invention.
- the present invention includes a first electrolyte layer having a first main surface and a second main surface, and a second electrolyte layer on the first main surface of the first electrolyte layer,
- the electrolyte layer is an electrolyte membrane having a thickness of 40 ⁇ m or more and 250 ⁇ m or less and containing a polymer electrolyte, and the second electrolyte layer containing a polymer electrolyte and carbon particles.
- an electrolyte membrane with good durability can be provided.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the catalyst layer-equipped electrolyte membrane of the present invention.
- the electrolyte membrane according to the embodiment of the present invention has a first electrolyte layer having a thickness of 40 ⁇ m or more and 250 ⁇ m or less and containing a polymer electrolyte, and a second electrolyte layer containing a polymer electrolyte and carbon particles on the first main surface of the first electrolyte layer.
- the first electrolyte layer is a layer that exhibits the original function of the electrolyte membrane (for example, proton conduction), and the second electrolyte layer has a function of protecting the first electrolyte layer. That is, the first electrolyte layer functions as a polymer electrolyte layer, and the second electrolyte layer functions as a protective layer for the first electrolyte layer. This will be explained in detail below.
- a water electrolysis device oxygen generated at the anode through water electrolysis moves to the cathode, reacts with hydrogen generated at the cathode, and hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide radicals are thought to be produced as by-products.
- the electrolyte membrane according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a water electrolysis device, by arranging the second electrolyte layer on the cathode side, hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide by-produced at the cathode can be removed. Radicals are suppressed from migrating to the first electrolyte layer. As a result, deterioration of the polymer electrolyte contained in the first electrolyte layer is suppressed, and durability is improved.
- hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide radicals will be collectively referred to as "hydrogen peroxides.”
- the electrolyte membrane is It is effective to increase the thickness. That is, when the thickness of the first electrolyte layer is 40 ⁇ m or more, oxygen permeation is reduced, and this is expected to have the effect of suppressing the generation of hydrogen peroxides at the cathode. Furthermore, it is also effective from the viewpoint of durability that the thickness of the first electrolyte layer is 40 ⁇ m or more.
- the thickness of the first electrolyte layer is 40 ⁇ m or more and the provision of the second electrolyte layer containing carbon particles synergistically contributes to improving durability.
- the first electrolyte layer has a thickness of 40 ⁇ m or more and 250 ⁇ m or less. From the viewpoint of improving durability, the thickness of the first electrolyte layer is preferably 50 ⁇ m or more, more preferably 60 ⁇ m or more, and particularly preferably 70 ⁇ m or more. On the other hand, if the thickness of the first electrolyte layer exceeds 250 ⁇ m, the water electrolysis performance will decrease, and this will be disadvantageous from the viewpoints of material cost, productivity, and processability. From the above viewpoint, the first electrolyte layer preferably has a thickness of 200 ⁇ m or less, more preferably 180 ⁇ m or less, and even more preferably 150 ⁇ m or less.
- the first electrolyte layer contains a polymer electrolyte.

- Hydrocarbon-based polymer electrolytes are suitable as the polymer electrolyte used in the first electrolyte layer because they have good water electrolysis performance and gas barrier properties and are relatively inexpensive in material cost.
- hydrocarbon polymer electrolytes tend to be attacked by hydrogen peroxides and deteriorate more easily than fluorine polymer electrolytes.
- hydrocarbon-based polymer electrolytes have a feature of lower gas permeability for oxygen and other gases than fluorine-based polymer electrolytes. Therefore, when the thickness of the first electrolyte layer containing the hydrocarbon polymer electrolyte is 40 ⁇ m or more, the oxygen permeability is further reduced, and an effect of suppressing the generation of hydrogen peroxides at the cathode is expected.

Description
本発明の実施の形態に係る電解質膜は、厚みが40μm以上250μm以下でかつ高分子電解質を含む第1の電解質層の第1主面に、高分子電解質と炭素粒子とを含む第2の電解質層が設けられている。本発明の電解質膜において、第1の電解質層は電解質膜本来の機能(例えばプロトン伝導)を発現する層であり、第2の電解質層は第1の電解質層を保護する機能を有する。すなわち、第1の電解質層は高分子電解質層として機能し、第2の電解質層は第1の電解質層の保護層として機能する。以下、詳細に説明する。
第1の電解質層は、その厚みが40μm以上250μm以下である。第1の電解質層の厚みは、耐久性向上の観点から、50μm以上が好ましく、60μm以上がより好ましく、70μm以上が特に好ましい。一方、第1の電解質層の厚みが250μmを超えると、水電解性能が低下し、また材料コスト、生産性、加工性の観点から不利となる。上記観点から、第1の電解質層は200μm以下が好ましく、180μm以下がより好ましく、150μm以下がさらに好ましい。
第2の電解質層は、高分子電解質と炭素粒子とを含有する。第2の電解質層は、第1の電解質層の第1主面に設けられる。
本発明の実施の形態に係る電解質膜は、その両面にそれぞれ触媒層を積層して触媒層付電解質膜とすることができる。すなわち、触媒層付電解質膜は、本発明の電解質膜(以下、「電解質膜」ということがある)の両面にそれぞれ触媒層を備える。例えば、電解質膜の第1の電解質層の第1主面側にカソード触媒層、第1の電解質層の第2主面側にアノード触媒層を、それぞれ備える。
触媒層は、一般的には、触媒粒子と高分子電解質を含む層である。触媒層は、高分子電解質溶液にさらに触媒粒子を添加した触媒層用塗液を塗布方式または転写方式により本発明の電解質膜上に積層して形成される。高分子電解質としては、前述したようなフッ素系高分子電解質が一般的に用いられており、さらに、ガス拡散性や化学的耐久性の観点から、パーフルオロカーボンスルホン酸系ポリマーが好ましく用いられている。
膜電極接合体は、上記触媒層付電解質膜と、その両面に配置される電極(ガス拡散電極)とを含む。具体的な例としては、触媒層付電解質膜のカソード触媒層側にカソードガス拡散電極を、アノード触媒層側にアノードガス拡散電極を、それぞれ配置したものである。
以下、電解質膜の製造方法について説明する。まず、第1の電解質層を形成する方法について説明する。第1の電解質層は、例えば、基材(かかる第1の電解質層の形成に用いる基材を以下便宜的に「製膜基材」と称することがある)上に高分子電解質溶液を塗布、乾燥することによって得ることができる。上記製膜基材としては、特に制限はないが、ポリエステルが好ましく、ポリエチレンテレフタレートが特に好ましい。製膜基材は、最終的には剥離除去されるものであり、必要に応じ離型処理が施されていてもよい。
本発明の実施の形態に係る電解質膜に触媒層を積層する方法としては、例えば、塗布方式、転写方式、または塗布方式と転写方式との併用方式が挙げられる。これらの方式は、特に限定されず、公知の方法を採用することができる。
併合製造方法とは、触媒層付電解質膜の製造工程の中で電解質膜を完成させる製造方法である。例えば、製膜基材上に形成された第1の電解質層と、転写用基材にカソード触媒層と第2の電解質層とが順次積層された転写シートとを加熱プレスして、第1の電解質層上に第2の電解質層とカソード触媒層とを同時に積層する方式が挙げられる。
(1)製膜基材に第1の電解質層を形成する工程
(2)転写用基材にカソード触媒層と第2の電解質層とを順次積層してカソード触媒層転写シート得る工程
(3)転写用基材にアノード触媒層を積層してアノード触媒層転写シート得る工程
(4)第1の電解質層から製膜基材を剥離する工程
(5)第1の電解質層の一方の面にカソード触媒層転写シート、他方の面にアノード触媒層転写シートをそれぞれ重ね合わせた状態で加熱プレスする工程。
