Problems solved by technology

The patent does not mention the material of the separation layer. Processing the flow field on the separation layer has certain advantages and can save costs, but the direct contact between the current collector and the catalytic layer (or diffusion layer) on a large area will cause some catalysts to fail. Utilization, although this improves the electrolysis efficiency, but reduces the utilization rate of the catalyst

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electrolysis, in particular to a structure of an electrolytic cell using a solid polymer as an electrolyte and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Solid polymer electrolyte (Solid Polymer Electrolyte, SPE) electrolyzer has become the research field of various countries because of its compact structure, high current density, high electrolysis efficiency, safety and reliability, high gas purity, long service life, and large production capacity. The United States and Japan already have an absolute advantage in this field, and they have developed hydrogen production capacity of 30 and 60Nm respectively. 3 / h SPE water electrolysis device. With the improvement of the electrolytic capacity of the electrolyzer, its volume will become an important factor restricting its development. In addition, for SPE electrolyzers, the high cost is the biggest obstacle restricting its development. On the one ha...
