Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for a direct methanol fuel cell film electrode, which belongs to field of direct methanol fuel cell. The film electrode employs a proton exchange film as an electrolyte film, a platinum-ruthenium-carbon catalyst as an anode and a platinum-carbon catalyst as a cathode, and is composed of a supporting layer, a micro-pore layer, a catalytic layer, a proton exchange film which are arranged at the anode side and a supporting layer, a micro-pore layer, a catalytic layer which are arranged at the cathode side. The preparation method for the film electrode includes: preparation and pretreatment of the film, preparation of a catalyst paste, preparation of the catalytic layer, preparation of a micro-pore layer paste, preparation of the micro-pore layer and hot pressing process. Advantages of the preparation method are that: the micro-pore layer and the supporting layer prepared by the method have higher porosity, reduce mass transfer resistance of the film electrode, improve interface between the micro-pore layer or the catalytic layer and the supporting layer, thereby increasing three-phase contact area of catalyst and reactant and increasing output power density of the cell.
