Abstract

The invention relates to a direct alcohol fuel cell membrane electrode, and a preparation thereof. According to the preparation method, the direct alcohol fuel cell membrane electrode is formed by arranging an oxidized graphene layer between anode side of a proton exchange membrane and an anode catalyst layer; the oxidized graphene layer is composed of oxidized grapheme and Nafion at a mass ratio of 5:1-1:5. The direct alcohol fuel cell membrane electrode is capable of preventing methanol penetration without cell performance degradation effectively; and the preparation method is simple and convenient, and can be used for batch production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a direct alcohol fuel cell membrane electrode. [0002] The invention also relates to a method for preparing the membrane electrode of the direct alcohol fuel cell. Background technique [0003] Direct Alcohol Fuel Cell (DAFC) has been paid close attention by research institutes of various countries in recent years due to its high efficiency and environmental friendliness. Among them, the direct methanol fuel cell using methanol as fuel has been more in-depth research because of its small size and high safety. Its core component, the membrane electrode (MEA) assembly, is usually composed of a gas diffusion layer, a catalytic layer, and a proton exchange membrane. The proton exchange membrane plays a dual role in separating the cathode and anode chambers and conducting protons in the membrane electrode, and its performance directly affects the performance and stability of the fuel cell. [0004] However, in the direct alcohol...
