Problems solved by technology

The existing technology is mainly to reduce the platinum loading by improving catalyst performance or using non-platinum catalysts. At this stage, it is difficult to improve the performance of platinum-carbon catalysts and platinum alloy catalysts. Non-platinum catalysts are still in the research and development stage, and the day of mass production is nowhere in sight.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a low-platinum proton exchange membrane fuel cell membrane electrode and a preparation method thereof. The low-platinum proton exchange membrane fuel cell membrane electrode comprises catalyst layers coated on the two sides of a proton exchange membrane, each catalyst layer comprises a porous material and a catalyst filled in the porous material, and the catalyst is one or more of platinum-carbon catalysts with the platinum loading capacity of 40%-60%. The catalyst layer of the membrane electrode is prepared from the porous material and the catalyst filled in the porous material, the usage amount of platinum is reduced by adjusting the structure of the catalyst layer of the membrane electrode, the usageamount of platinum is reduced by adopting a partial structure ordering process and adjusting the structure of the catalyst layer of the membrane electrode, and the cost of the fuel cell is reduced. Compared with a traditional membrane electrode, the membrane electrode provided by the invention adopts a partially ordered structure, so that the catalyst utilization rate can be effectively improved,the catalyst loading capacity is reduced, the membrane electrode swelling problem is solved, amplification is easy, and batch production is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a low-platinum proton exchange membrane fuel cell membrane electrode and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), as a new type of clean energy, has attracted worldwide attention due to its low pollution or even no pollution. With the development of fuel cell technology, cost, power density and lifetime become the key factors for its commercialization. As one of the key materials of the fuel cell, the membrane electrode plays an important role, and its stability and price directly determine the durability and cost of the battery. [0003] In the process of preparing membrane electrodes, whether it is a platinum alloy or a non-platinum catalyst, the goal is to greatly reduce the amount of platinum used without reducing the performance and life of the membrane electrode, thereby reducing the cost of the ...
