Problems solved by technology

[0004] The electrolyte material prepared by the above method needs to adopt two processes, that is, the substrate diaphragm of the electrolyte and the electrolyte salt need to be prepared separately, and when preparing the substrate diaphragm of the electrolyte, whether it is an organic solvent method or water is used as a solvent, All of the above methods contain binders, and the prepared electrolyte diaphragm has a process of removing polymers such as binders during the start-up stage of the actual molten carbonate fuel cell, that is, in a temperature range below 400°C, Organic solvents or water will volatilize as the temperature rises, and polymers such as dispersants, adhesives, and plasticizers will also volatilize as the temperature rises. In this way, each battery assembled at room temperature There is a big difference between the thickness of the battery and the thickness of the battery at the working temperature (usually 650°C), that is, the height of the initial installation of the battery stack assembled from multiple single batteries at room temperature is much greater than that of the normal work This height difference will bring a lot of trouble to the structure and installation of the entire molten carbonate fuel cell power generation system

Abstract

A fuses the carbonate fuel cell electrolyte membrane integrated preparation method, belongs to the field of fuel cell technology, that is as follows: use sub-micro-grade alpha-LiAlO2 powder or gamma -LiAlO2 powder as raw material, take water as solvent, after the ball grinding dispersion, add electrolyte salt, continue ball grinding mix, again add Al2O3 fiber, ball grinding mix to form a pulp containing substrate diaphragm material and the electrolyte saltm, directly spread this pulp on the double pole plate fitted with electrode, dry to obtain a fused carbonate fuel cell electrolyte membrane. As the pulp contains no dispersant, binder and plasticizer, the height of cell pile assembled under room temperature and the height of cell pile at working temperature will not change. In the course of preparation and primary operation, it dose not discharge organic solvent and waste gases.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method in the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a preparation method for an electrolyte membrane of a molten carbonate fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Molten carbonate fuel cell is a kind of high-temperature fuel cell, which has the characteristics of high energy conversion efficiency, no noble metal catalyst, and wide range of fuel use. The traditional method of manufacturing electrolyte materials for molten carbonate fuel cells is divided into two steps: firstly, the substrate diaphragm of the electrolyte is prepared, usually with submicron α-aluminum metalithiate or γ-aluminum metalithium powder as the main The raw materials are ball-milled by adding dispersants, adhesives, plasticizers and corresponding organic solvents to form a slurry, and the slurry is formed into a film by tape-casting and spraying. [0003] After searching the literature of the prior art, it was found that Chinese ...
