Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the current passive DMFC still faces some technical difficulties in practical application: (1) Methanol permeates through the diaphragm, which reduces the fuel utilization rate and battery operating voltage; (2) The electrochemical reaction activity of methanol is not high, that is, the utilization of the catalyst (3) Low power density, fuel and oxidant completely rely on free diffusion, it is difficult to stably and evenly transport methanol and oxygen to the surface of the catalyst to participate in the reaction, resulting in poor system performance
Before being officially put into market application, there are still many severe technical challenges

Abstract

The invention provides an ordered nanostructure membrane electrode and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the steps of coating of a micropore layer, preparation of a binder, bonding of a porous template and a substrate, preparation of a mixed electroplating solution, preparation of a nano array, post-treatment of a product and lamination of a membrane electrode assembly. The core technology of the preparation method is preparation of an ordered nano array catalyst electrode; a nano-structure containing platinum or a platinum alloy is deposited in a porous template mainly through a template method electrodeposition path; and the porous template and the binder are removed to obtain the one-dimensional ordered nano array catalyst electrode which directly grows on the micropore layer, thereby obtaining the membrane electrode through lamination. The ordered nanostructure can be applied to the membrane electrode assembly without a transfer printing or pressing method. A novel porous electrode structure is provided; the preparation technology of the membrane electrode assembly is innovated; the catalytic activity of the electrode and the utilization rate of a noble metal are greatly improved; and the battery performance can be further greatly improved by applying the ordered nanostructure membrane electrode to a fuel cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to fuel cells, and relates to an ordered nanostructured membrane electrode and a preparation method thereof, in particular to an ordered nanostructured membrane electrode applied to a fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, a wide variety of portable mobile electronic devices have been born. The increasing power of their functions has directly led to the fact that the capacity of traditional batteries can no longer meet people's power consumption needs for corresponding electronic devices. The portable power bank is imminent. The small size, large capacity, safety and stability of the fuel cell make it superior in the field of mobile power. It can work for a long time by adding fuel, and its energy density is several times that of lithium-ion batteries. In recent years, as the future development trend of new mobi...
