The invention relates to a preparation method of a membrane
electrode suitable for a low-
humidity working condition, which comprises the following steps: (1) dissolving an
ionic liquid in
ultrapure water, and uniformly dispersing to obtain an
ionic liquid aqueous solution; (2) uniformly mixing the
ionic liquid aqueous solution obtained in the step (1) with a catalyst,
coating the surface of the catalyst with the ionic liquid, and cleaning and
drying the coated catalyst to obtain an ionic liquid coated catalyst; (3) uniformly mixing the ionic liquid coated catalyst obtained in the step (2) with an
ionomer and a dispersing
solvent, preparing catalyst
slurry, and spraying to prepare a
cathode catalyst layer; and (4) hot-pressing the
cathode catalyst layer and the
anode catalyst layer obtained in the step (3) to two sides of a
proton exchange membrane to prepare the membrane
electrode. Compared with the prior art, the membrane
electrode disclosed by the invention can ensure high-efficiency transmission of protons in the catalyst layer under a low-
humidity working condition, so that wide-working-condition operation is realized; meanwhile,
oxygen mass transfer is enhanced, and the battery performance under
high current density is improved.
