Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method for a membrane electrode of a fuel cell. In the process of spraying slurry, the slurry is loaded with electrostatic charges through an electrostatic generator, so as to increase the adsorbability between the slurry and the membrane, improve the Pt utilization rate of a catalytic layer, improve the performance of the membrane electrode and reduce the Pt loading amount.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a membrane electrode of a fuel cell. The sprayed slurry is charged with electrostatic charge, and the charge is derived after the slurry touches the sprayed surface. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is an energy conversion device that can efficiently and cleanly convert hydrogen energy into electrical energy. In recent years, hydrogen fuel cells have been vigorously supported and developed around the world, and have been successfully demonstrated and applied in electric vehicles, distributed power stations, backup power supplies, aviation and other fields. Among them, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell has received more attention due to its high power density, fast start-up speed, high conversion efficiency, and environmental friendliness. [0003] The cell stack of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is usually composed of end plates, collector plates, bipolar plates, flow fields and membr...
