Problems solved by technology

However, due to the low solubility and low diffusion rate of gases (such as O2) in phosphoric acid and the adsorption of phosphoric acid on the surface of Pt catalyst, the efficiency of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the electrode is low and the cost increases.
Moreover, under the conditions of high temperature and strong acid, it is easy to cause the aging of the Pt catalyst, resulting in a reduction in battery life.
In addition, the spraying process used by traditional commercial platinum-carbon catalysts (Pt / C) is complex, and the binder used will reduce the active area of ​​the catalyst, affecting battery performance, and the loss in the process is large, and the bonding force between the platinum catalyst and the base layer is not strong

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a self-supporting membrane electrode. The method comprises the following steps: pretreating an electrode substrate layer; preparing a hydrophilic electrode substrate layer; adopting H2PtCl6 powder, water and sulfuric acid for preparing an electro-deposition solution; and preparing a self-supporting electrode and a self-supporting membrane electrode. According to the invention, the self-supporting membrane electrode is prepared in an electro-deposition mode, operation is simple and easy, deposition is uniform, and loss of a noble metal catalyst in the traditional commercial catalyst spraying process is avoided; meanwhile, platinum particles with different morphologies are obtained by changing the lower limit potential in an electro-deposition manner, so that the dissolution and Ostwald ripening of the platinum-based catalyst are effectively avoided, and the durability of the fuel cell is improved; and the oxidation-reduction reaction performance of the catalyst can be further enhanced. The self-supporting membrane electrode prepared by the invention is applied to a high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell, and has a wide application prospect.
