Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a Nafion-macromolecule functionalized carbon nano tube hybrid membrane. The functionalized carbon nano tube is prepared by taking a vinyl-modified carbon nano tube, functional monomers (methacrylic acid, dimethyl vinyl phosphonate or styrene), a cross-linking agent (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or divinyl benzene), azodiisobutyronitrile and acetonitrile as materials. The functionalized carbon nano tube is dispersed in Nafion and nitrogen-nitrogen dimethylacetamide to obtain film casting liquor, and the Nafion-functionalized carbon nano tube hybrid membrane is prepared by adopting a flow casting method. The carbon nano tube fictionalization method disclosed by the invention is simple in preparation, and capable of polymerizing a macromolecule layer which is 10-35mm thick on the surface of the carbon nano tube. Compared with the pure Nafion membrane, the hybrid membrane prepared by the preparation method has excellent proton conductivity (improving by 510% under a low-humidity condition) and good mechanical performance (increasing tensile strength by 61.4% and improving elasticity modulus by 30.6%).

Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell is considered to be the preferred clean energy in the 21st century because of its greenness, high energy density and no noise. Proton exchange membrane is one of the core components of fuel cells. The efficiency of proton transport in the membrane determines the battery performance. At present, the Nafion membrane with the best comprehensive performance operates under the operating conditions of high temperature and low humidity (the ideal operating environment of the battery). Due to the low water retention capacity of Nafion polymer, the water loss is serious, and the proton transfer efficiency is low. Carbon nanotubes functionalized with hydrophilic polymers c...
