Problems solved by technology

The current research on MEA shows that its existing problems are mainly concentrated in: the structure of the electrode catalytic layer and the gas diffusion layer is unreasonable, resulting in low catalyst utilization, high transfer resistance of reaction gas and liquid water, and extreme concentration difference in the high current density area. Large loss; battery output performance needs to be improved

Embodiment 1

[0028] Slurry 1 consists of catalyst 60%Pt / C, conductive polymer The solution and solvent are prepared by mixing and stirring water, ethylene glycol and n-propanol, and the sum of the mass of the organic solvent ethylene glycol and n-propanol in the solvent accounts for 66% of the total mass of the solvent. The viscosity of the catalyst slurry was 720 mPa·s, the solid content was 21 wt%, and the catalyst concentration was 17 wt%. Take 10 mL of the prepared slurry and put it in a small bottle to stand still, and observe whether the slurry settles after standing for a long time. A cathode catalytic layer for direct methanol fuel cells was prepared on the surface of the PTFE membrane by brushing the slurry 1, and the prepared catalytic layer was analyzed by a scanning electron microscope to observe its morphology and uniformity. After the catalytic layer printed on the surface of the PTFE membrane was dried, it was transferred to the surface of the Nafion115 membrane to form a ...
