Problems solved by technology

[0005] Therefore, the production of organic hydrides requires a plurality of devices, and there is a problem that the devices are complicated.
In addition, since hydrogen is gaseous after production until the hydrogenation reaction, there are problems with storage and transportation
If the hydrogen production device and the hydrogenation reaction device are built adjacent to each other, the above problems can be solved, but there are problems of construction and operation costs, and the overall energy efficiency is also reduced.
In addition, the device needs to be enlarged, so there is a problem that the installation place is limited.

Embodiment 1

[0061] As the catalyst, a catalyst obtained by dispersing and supporting 30 wt % of Pt fine particles in carbon black was used. First, 100 g of the catalyst was preheated at 105° C. for 1 hour. Then, sulfur trioxide gas heated to 100° C. was supplied at a concentration of 12 vol. % with respect to the dry air to perform a reaction. The reaction time was set to 2 hours. Then, cooling is performed, the catalyst is put into ion-exchanged water, stirred, filtered, and washed with ion-exchanged water until the pH value of the filtrate becomes stable.

[0062] The catalyst of gained is measured infrared absorption spectrum, the result is at 620cm -1 、1037cm -1 、1225cm -1 A peak was observed. It is believed that this is based on the sulfonic acid-SO 3 In the peak of H, it was confirmed that a sulfonic acid group was introduced into the surface of the carbon black of the carrier. The equivalent of the introduced sulfonic acid group was 1.8 meq / g dry carbon support.

Embodiment 2

[0075] As the catalyst, a catalyst obtained by dispersing and supporting 30 wt % of Pt fine particles in carbon black was used. With 10g of this catalyst and 15g of anhydrous aluminum chloride (AlCl 3 ) mix, slowly add thiophosphoryl chloride (PSCl 3 ). The temperature was stabilized at 35°C and 54ml was added slowly. Then, it was kept at 75° C. for 45 minutes. After cooling, 50 ml of chloroform was added and filtered. After fully washing with ether, 200ml of ion-exchanged water was added, and the mixture was refluxed for 20 hours. Measure the infrared absorption spectrum of the catalyst obtained, the result is 1000~1120cm -1 、840~910cm -1 A peak was observed. This is considered to be a peak due to phosphonic acid, and it was confirmed that a phosphonic acid group was introduced into the surface of the carbon black of the carrier. The equivalent of the introduced phosphonic acid group was 1.8 meq / g dry carbon support.

[0076] The produced catalyst was used as a catho...

Embodiment 3

[0080] As the catalyst, a catalyst obtained by dispersing and supporting 30 wt % of Pt fine particles in carbon black was used. The catalyst was irradiated with oxygen plasma. The apparatus used for irradiation was a plasma apparatus model PDC210 manufactured by Yamato Glass Co., Ltd., and the pressure in the chamber (chamber) before oxygen introduction was set to 0.1 Torr or less, and the pressure after oxygen introduction was set to 0.5 Torr. The output of the high-frequency power supply of the apparatus was set to 100 W, and the plasma irradiation time was set to 150 seconds. Measure the infrared absorption spectrum of the catalyst obtained, the result is 3000~3600cm -1 A broad peak was observed. This is considered to be a peak due to the hydroxyl group -OH, and it was confirmed that a hydroxyl group was introduced into the surface of the Pt-carrying carbon black.

[0081] The produced catalyst was used as a cathode catalyst to produce an MEA. The production method and ...

Abstract

There is provided a membrane electrode assembly and an organic hydride manufacturing device capable of obtaining higher energy efficiency even if manufacturing organic hydride in one step with a single device. A membrane electrode assembly in which a cathode catalyst layer (22) and an anode catalyst layer (23) are placed to sandwich a solid polymer electrolyte membrane (21), wherein the cathode catalyst layer (22) includes catalytic metal (24) which causes hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons to organic hydrides, and a carrier (25) of the catalytic metal (24), and the carrier (25) provides on its surface a functional group (27) which decreases wettability of the unsaturated hydrocarbons. And an organic hydride manufacturing device using the membrane electrode assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a membrane electrode assembly for electrochemically producing organic hydrides and an organic hydride production device. Background technique [0002] As global warming caused by carbon dioxide and the like becomes serious, hydrogen is attracting attention as a new-age energy source instead of fossil fuels. Hydrogen fuel only emits water when fuel is consumed, and does not emit carbon dioxide, so the burden on the environment is small. On the other hand, since hydrogen is a gas at normal temperature and pressure, transportation, storage, and supply systems have become major issues. [0003] In recent years, organic hydride systems using hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, and decahydronaphthalene have attracted attention as hydrogen storage methods excellent in safety, transportability, and storage capacity. Since these hydrocarbons are liquid at normal temperature, they are excellent in transportabil...
