Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and discloses a preparation method and application of a membrane electrode for improving water management of a cathode catalyst layer of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The membrane electrode comprises an anode catalyst layer, a proton exchange membrane, a cathode catalyst layer and a gas diffusion layer. Under a high relative humidity test, the hydrophobic layer reduces the capillary pressure gradient between the catalyst layer and the gas diffusion layer, so that water generated by reaction can be discharged towards the gas diffusion layer, and diffusion of the water towards the catalyst layer is inhibited. According to the invention, a gas / liquid / solid three-phase interface in the catalyst layer is optimized while the proton conduction capability is considered, and the hydrophilic-hydrophobic gradient is formed in the cathode catalyst layer, so that the water management is improved, and the performance of the fuel cell is greatly improved. The method is of great significance to follow-up slurry process development and platinum loading reduction, namely reduction of membrane electrode cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and more specifically relates to a preparation method and application of a membrane electrode for improving the water management of the cathode catalytic layer of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has the advantages of low operating temperature, high energy conversion efficiency, fast start-up, clean emission, no noise, no vibration, and high power density. It is currently the most promising new generation Green energy power system helps to solve problems such as energy crisis and environmental pollution. Membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is the heart of PEMFC, and the catalyst-coated membrane (CCM) in the membrane electrode is one of the key components that determine the performance of the entire membrane electrode. It is the reaction site of the fuel cell and realizes chemical energy. Con...
