Abstract

A method for preparing a membrane electrode based on a carbon supported transition metal chelate belongs to the technical field of fuel cells and is characterized in that the membrane electrode is obtained by respectively loading a catalyst containing carbon-supported platinum and a carbon supported transition metal amine chelate oxygen reduction catalyst on the surface of a proton exchange membrane. The invention overcomes the following defects: when the existing membrane electrodes containing the carbon supported transition metal amine chelate oxygen reduction catalyst are prepared by a direct coating method, the cathodic catalyst layer and the proton exchange membrane are poorly contacted and are liable to stripping, and the resistance is larger. By specially treating the proton exchange membrane and improving the catalyst slurry, the method effectively solves the following problem: the proton exchange membrane is crimped and can not be perfectly bonded with the transition metal chelate, and simultaneously reduces the thickness of the catalyst layer and improves the performance of the membrane electrode.

Background technique [0002] With the rapid rise of my country's economy, the demand for energy is increasing day by day, and my country has become the second largest oil consumer in the world. However, the rapid development of the economy and the further increase in the demand for resources such as oil and coal have made my country's energy and environmental problems increasingly prominent and have become important issues to be solved. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell is a continuous supply of fuel and oxidant. A power generation device that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy continuously, and the energy conversion efficiency can reach 50% to 70%. In addition, the working noise of the fuel cell is low and the ...
