Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a membrane electrode composite of a direct methanol fuel cell, a preparation method thereof and a direct methanol fuel cell. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a power generation device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction. It was first proposed by Gove in 1839. Compared with traditional energy conversion systems, fuel cells have many advantages: first, they are not limited by the Carnot cycle, and the energy conversion efficiency is high; second, the product is usually water, which has little environmental pollution. The high-efficiency and non-polluting properties of fuel cells have attracted more and more attention in recent years. [0003] The fuel cells at this stage are mainly hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells, but due to the technical problems of hydrogen generation, storage, transportation and safety of this kind o...
