Abstract

The invention relates to a membrane electrode of a fuel cell, which comprises an anode gas diffusing layer, an anode catalyzing layer, a proton exchange membrane, a cathode catalyzing layer, and a cathode gas diffusing layer. The gas diffusing layers comprise a conductive carrier as well as a conductive agent and a binding agent carried by the conductive carrier, wherein the binding agent in the anode gas diffusing layer is a hydrophilic binding agent. The membrane electrode of the fuel cell provided by the invention has good effect of self-humidifying. When the fuel cell manufactured by adopting the membrane electrode in the invention works in a large current density, the output power of the cell is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a membrane electrode and its preparation method, more specifically to a fuel cell membrane electrode and its preparation method. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is an energy conversion device that converts chemical energy stored in fuels (such as hydrogen, lower alcohols, etc.) and oxidants (oxygen) into electrical energy according to electrochemical principles. Fuel cells have the advantages of high energy conversion rate and environmental friendliness, while Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) has the advantages of low temperature operation and high specific power, and is a new type of power source widely used. [0003] The reaction formulas of the anode reaction and the cathode reaction of the fuel cell using hydrogen as fuel are shown in the reaction formulas (1) and (2) respectively, and the oxygen used as the oxidant on the cathode is usually from the air. The ion conduction that transfers the pr...
