Problems solved by technology

However, the interface compatibility between inorganic nanoparticles and polymer matrix is ​​poor. In the preparation process of proton exchange membrane, it is difficult to uniformly disperse inorganic nanoparticles in polymer matrix. The obtained proton exchange membrane is not uniform enough, not only It will reduce the alcohol resistance of the membrane and also reduce the proton conductivity of the membrane

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of modified carbon nanotubes for a proton exchange membrane. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing the ethanol solution of dopamine hydrochloride, introducing a protective gas, dropwise adding ammonia water, adding 1,3-propyl sultone for reflux reaction, and then orderly performing filtering, ethanol cleaning and drying to obtain sulfated dopamine; dispersing carbon nanotubes in the buffer solution of tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane hydrochloride, adding the sulfated dopamine for reacting, and then centrifuging to obtain the precipitation of the lower layer, and drying to obtain the modified carbon nanotubes. According to the preparation method, the carbon nanotubes are covered with a layer of sulfated dopamine, so that the interface bonding force of the carbon nanotubes and the matrix of the proton exchange membrane can be increased, the proton electrical conductivity of the membrane is improved by use of a proton conduction channel formed by the sulfated carbon nanotubes, and meanwhile, the methane permeability of the membrane is improved by virtue of excellent dispersion of nanoparticles in the matrix.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon nanotube preparation, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a modified carbon nanotube used in a proton exchange membrane. Background technique [0002] As one of the core components of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, proton exchange membranes have gained more and more attention, and their performance directly affects the performance and service life of methanol fuel cells. A good proton exchange membrane must have the following important properties, such as low methanol permeability, good proton conductivity, stable mechanical and chemical properties, good thermal properties, etc. to ensure sufficient service life of the fuel cell. [0003] After the proton exchange membrane polymer matrix is ​​doped with inorganic nanoparticles, the mechanical stability and alcohol-repelling properties can be improved to a certain extent. However, the interface compatibility between inorganic...
