Problems solved by technology

[0015] Although the above process makes the surface of the substrate material smooth, it cannot completely prevent the catalyst from penetrating into the substrate material. Because the pore size is either too large or too small, the diffusion resistance of the reaction gas increases or the moisture generated by the reaction is difficult to discharge.

Abstract

The invention discloses a gas diffusion layer and a preparation method and application thereof. The gas diffusion layer comprises a carbon black layer (2) with the micropore diameter of 30 to 100 microns and/or a carbon fiber layer (1) with the micropore diameter of 50 to 150 microns. The gas diffusion layer can be widely applied to gas diffusion electrodes in fuel cells, electrolytic cells and ultracapacitor electrochemical reaction devices. The invention simultaneously discloses a preparation method of the gas diffusion layer. The gas diffusion layer has a simple, rational and compact structure, overcomes various defects of the prior art, and has the advantages of high air permeability, high drainage, high conductivity, stable catalyst layers and high catalyst utilization rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrochemical reaction device, in particular to a gas diffusion layer and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] The electrodes of fuel cells, electrolytic cells, and supercapacitors are porous gas diffusion electrodes, generally composed of a diffusion layer and a catalyst layer. Different diffusion layer materials have a great influence on the structure, fabrication process and performance of the electrode. [0003] For example, in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, the fuel gas passes through the anode diffusion layer to the catalyst layer, and the electrode reaction occurs under the action of the catalyst, that is, [0004] h 2 -2H+2e [0005] The electrons generated by the electrode reaction flow through the external circuit to the cathode through the conduction of the diffusion layer, and at the same time, the hydrogen ions reach the cathode under the action of the proton exchange...
