Abstract

The invention provides a membrane electrode of a long-life fuel cell with a porous adsorption layer and a preparation method thereof. The membrane electrode is characterized in that a porous siliceous adsorption layer is additionally arranged between a catalyst layer and a proton exchange membrane and is used for multi-layer adsorption (e.g. surface adsorption, shallow adsorption and deep absorption) or interception of metal particles or ions moving or diffusing into the membrane so as to block the metal particles or ions against movement towards the membrane side or into the membrane, thereby prolonging the service life of the membrane electrode of the fuel cell. The porous siliceous adsorption layer is prepared with a porous siliceous material paligorskite-sepiolite mineral fiber, zeolite molecular sieve, montmorillonite, diatomaceous earth or silica gel and Nafion proton exchange resin. The preparation method of the porous siliceous adsorption layer comprises the following steps: preparation of the slurry of the porous material, preparation of the porous adsorption layer, pretreatment of the gas diffusion layer, preparation of the electrode of the gas diffusion layer, preparation of the chip of the fuel cell and preparation of the membrane electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel cell membrane electrode and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a long-life fuel cell membrane electrode with a porous adsorption layer and a preparation method thereof. The membrane electrode has a long service life under the condition that the performance of the battery is not reduced. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells have the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency and zero emissions, so they are considered to be ideal energy conversion devices and power sources in the future. Among them, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) undoubtedly has more development prospects because of its good low-temperature startability and the application of hydrogen as an energy source. In the past ten years, fuel cell technology has been greatly developed, and fuel cell vehicles, mobile fuel cell power supplies, household fuel cell power stations, etc. have been launched in the world, but there is s...
