Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a micro membrane-free fuel cell with carbon-nanotube three-dimensional electrodes and a preparation method thereof. A metal electrode lead is arranged on the surface of a substrate material of the micro membrane-free fuel cell, and a plurality of carbon-nanotube three-dimensional electrodes and a plurality of carbon-nanotube diversion screen plates are grown on the metal electrode lead in a positioned mode. Catalysts are loaded on the carbon-nanotube three-dimensional electrodes. The substrate material and a cover slip with a groove are bonded and packaged to obtain the micro membrane-free fuel cell. The micro membrane-free fuel cell utilizes the carbon-nanotube three-dimensional electrodes loaded with the catalysts so as to increase the contact area of a working substance and the electrodes, the perturbation action of the three-dimensional electrodes on laminar substances strengthens the local diffusion of substances, and reactants near an electrode consumption boundary layer can obtain sustained and effective supplement, so that the cell has a high power density.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a micro-filmless fuel cell containing carbon nanotube stereo electrodes and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development and popularization of mobile and portable devices, the previous energy devices cannot meet the requirements of human beings, and the demand for energy devices with high energy density and small size is imminent. Micro-membrane-free fuel cells have a series of advantages such as simple structure, high efficiency, cleanliness, and practicality. At the same time, because there is no proton exchange membrane, the manufacturing process is simple and the cost is low. [0003] In a fuel cell, all oxidation-reduction reactions are based on the surface of the planar electrode. Since the reaction is almost only carried out near the electrode, the contact area between the electrode and the working substance is small. The...
