Abstract

The invention relates to an activate method of membrane electrode of fuel battery, wherein the fuel battery comprises baffle plates, an anode room 4, a cathode room 5, and a membrane electrode. The membrane electrode is between the baffles, the membrane electrode comprises an anode 1, a cathode 2, and an atom exchange membrane 3 between the anode 1 and the cathode 2, the anode room 4 is between the anode 1 and the baffle plates, and the cathode room 5 is between the cathode 2 and the baffle plates. The method comprises that connecting the anode and cathode of a power supply respectively with the anode 2 and the cathode 2 of fuel battery, adding one external power on the fuel battery, filling fuel into the anode room 4 before closing the power supply, and filling water into the cathode room 5. The active area of membrane electrode activated by the invention is significantly improved, and therefore, the power of fuel battery is improved. The inventive activate method ha simple operation, short activate time, and better repeatability.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for activating a membrane electrode, more specifically, to a method for activating a membrane electrode of a fuel cell. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is an energy conversion device that converts the chemical energy stored in fuel (such as hydrogen, lower alcohol, etc.) and oxidant (oxygen) into electrical energy according to electrochemical principles. Fuel cells have the advantages of high energy conversion rate and environmental friendliness, while Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) has the advantages of low temperature operation and high specific power, and is a new type of power source that is widely used. [0003] The reaction formulas of the anode reaction and the cathode reaction of the fuel cell using methanol as the fuel are as shown in the reaction formulas (1) and (2), respectively. The oxygen used as the oxidant on the cathode usually comes from air. Like a fuel cell using hydrogen as...
