Problems solved by technology

[0009] At present, there are mainly two methods for testing the corrosion of carbon supports. One is the indirect method, that is, the loss rate of the activity specific surface of the catalyst is used to reverse the corrosion rate of the carbon support. This method is greatly affected by the environment and instruments, and the error The other method is the direct method, which uses infrared spectroscopy to detect the generated COx. Although this method is intuitive, it is also greatly affected by the air and the price is relatively expensive.

Abstract

The invention discloses an online detection method of carbon corrosion condition in proton exchange membrane fuel cell membrane electrode (MEA). The method tests the carbon corrosion condition of MEA in actual running process using Cox reformer and gad detection equipment. Tail gas of anode outlet or tail gas of cathode outlet of a fuel cell in normal running is fed into the Cox reformer through a gas controller; the tail gas converted by the reformer is fed into the gas detection equipment to obtain the condition of carbon corrosion. The test method comprises a tail gas controller, a gas reformer, catalyst, a temperature controller, a sampling system, the gas detection equipment and a gas pipeline. Through the detection method, the concentration of carbon corrosion product in MEA can be automatically detected on line, and the corrosion condition of carbon accurately can be reflected in time; and furthermore, the detection method is featured by simple test process, easy control and good repeatability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting gas generated by carbon corrosion during the operation of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, in particular to a method for on-line detection of carbon corrosion in a membrane electrode. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is an energy conversion device that can directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Compared with other energy storage batteries, as long as the fuel cell can continuously provide reactive substances, the fuel cell can continue to operate, and its energy efficiency can reach 60% to 80% (the heat engine is generally about 30%). The actual use efficiency is twice that of ordinary internal combustion engines. [0003] The proton exchange membrane fuel cell has the characteristics of rapid start-up at room temperature, no loss of electrolyte, no discharge of pollutants, high specific power and specific energy, and is expected to replace the current commonly used The e...
