Problems solved by technology

One of the main reasons is the lack of an anion exchange membrane (AAEM) suitable for fuel cells, due to the OH - The migration rate is less than H + 1 / 4 of that of AAEM, the conductivity of AAEM is lower than that of PEM; AAEM has poor high temperature resistance, and most of them degrade at ≥60°C; poor chemical stability and low mechanical strength
Another main reason is the lack of electrodes suitable for alkaline solid electrolytes. Hydrophobic electrodes in traditional alkaline fuel cells and acidic system electrodes in proton exchange membrane fuel cells are not suitable for AAEMFC

Embodiment 1

[0040] Polyepichlorohydrin (PECH) was dissolved in N,N-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), heated with stirring, to a temperature of 100 °C; under an inert atmosphere, 30% N, N,N`,N`-tetramethyl-1,6-ethylenediamine was reacted for 48 hours. After the reaction was completed, the solution was removed, filtered and used for later use to obtain quaternized polyepichlorohydrin (QPECH); to the above homogeneous solution Add a certain amount of ethanol and acetone, stir for 2 hours to form a 14% uniform film-forming solution; cast the film-forming solution into the pretreated porous PTFE film, heat at 60 °C to evaporate the solvent, and at 100 °C After 12 hours of vacuum heat treatment, the desired anion exchange membrane was obtained.

[0041] The carbon paper was treated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) emulsion and sintered, firstly sintered at 120 °C for 15 min, and then at 350 °C for 15 min; then a certain amount of carbon powder and polyperfluoroethylene propylene (FEP) emulsion were...

Test results such as image 3 It shows that the prepared composite polyepichlorohydrin alkaline polymer membrane electrode exhibits good electrical performance of alkaline fuel cells, the battery open circuit voltage is greater than 1.0V, and the maximum power density is 16.4 mW cm -2 . This example is the application of the prepared membrane electrode in a fuel cell. The electrochemical performance of the fuel cell is expressed by the polarization curve. The results show that the prepared membrane electrode can operate normally in the fuel cell; Compared with the performance of membrane fuel cells, the performance is relatively good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and relates to a membrane electrode, in particular to a composite polyepichlorohydrin alkaline polymer membrane electrode for a fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Alkaline fuel cell (AFC) is the first practical fuel cell, and its biggest advantage lies in the superior redox kinetics of the cathode, which can use low-load Pt catalysts or even non-Pt catalysts. Its working principle is that under the action of the electrocatalyst, the anode hydrogen and hydroxide ions undergo an oxidation reaction to generate water and electrons, and the electrons are conducted to the cathode through an external circuit. Under the action of the cathode catalyst, they react with oxygen and water to form hydrogen and oxygen. The generated hydroxide ions migrate through the electrolyte to the anode to continue to participate in the reaction. However, the traditional alkaline fuel cell ...
