Abstract

The invention relates to fuel-cell catalyst slurry and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst slurry comprises the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 1-40% of solid particle catalyst, 0.1-30% of high polymer proton conductor, 1-60% of water, 1-60% of low-grade alcohol with C1-4, and 0.1-30% of high polymer dispersant, wherein the high polymer dispersant is one or a mixture including more than any two of polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyoxyethylene and polyacrylamide. The preparation method of the slurry is simple to operate, the slurry has the characteristics of high dispersity and high stability by adding high polymers into the catalyst slurry, a catalytic layer prepared from the slurry is good in uniformity, and an electrode prepared from the slurry has a better discharge performance. The slurry is suitable for spray coating, brush coating, blade coating, screen printing and other numerous mechanical manners for automated production of electrodes. The advantages of high efficiency, time saving and labor saving are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a catalyst slurry for fuel cells and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Membrane electrode (MEA) is a key component of fuel cells and a key factor in determining cell performance. The catalyst coating on the membrane electrode (hereinafter referred to as the catalytic layer) is formed by dispersing the catalyst into the solution to form a catalyst slurry, and then coating it on the membrane or carbon paper by various methods. Therefore, the state of the catalyst slurry (such as dispersibility and coatability) directly affects the performance of the membrane electrode, and ultimately affects the performance of the fuel cell. [0003] In the catalytic layer on the fuel cell membrane electrode, only the area where the catalyst forms a stable three-item interface (ie, reaction gas conduction path, electron conduction path, and proton conduction path) ca...
