Problems solved by technology

[0007] It can be seen from the above patents that the catalytic layer of the catalyst / membrane module uses a proton-conducting polymer as a binder, so there is a problem of water flooding
On the other hand, the proton exchange membrane near the electrochemical reaction area has aging problems during long-term use, and the proton-conducting polymer in the catalytic layer as the electrochemical reaction area is more prone to aging, which will make the stability of the catalytic layer decreased sex

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a membrane electrode for a hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity-adjustable proton exchange membrane fuel battery on the basis of a catalyst / membrane technology, comprising the following steps of: mixing deionized water and a hydrophobizing agent and then adding an alcohol-containing proton conduction polymer solution in the mixture and uniformly mixing to prepare a hydrophobizing agent and proton conduction polymer solution dispersion; wetting a catalyst by using the deionized water; adding the hydrophobizing agent and proton conduction polymer solution dispersion in the wet catalyst for dispersion to prepare catalyst slurry; coating the catalyst slurry on two mediums and drying by heating to obtain two mediums with catalytic layers through thermal processing; placing a proton exchange membrane between the catalytic layers of the two mediums with the catalytic layers and respectively shifting the catalytic layers on the two mediums to the two surfaces of the proton exchange membrane through thermal compression to obtain a catalyst-covering proton exchange membrane assembly; and placing the assembly between two gas diffusion layers and then making the assembly into the membrane electrode through the thermal compression, wherein the two surfaces of the proton exchange membrane exactly face the two gas diffusion layers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a membrane electrode for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, in particular to a method for preparing a membrane electrode for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell with adjustable hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity based on catalyst covering membrane (abbreviated as: catalyst / membrane) technology. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has the advantages of high power density, high energy conversion efficiency, low-temperature start-up, and environmental friendliness. Today's deterioration has become one of the hot spots of international high-tech competition. The core component for proton exchange membrane fuel cells - catalyst / membrane module (catalyst coated membrane, CCM) is a proton membrane developed in recent years that is different from the traditional membrane electrode assembly (MEA) structure. Exchange membrane fuel cell core components. The traditional membr...
