Embodiment 1

[0055] The first step is to take a 4cm×4cm Nafion211 proton exchange membrane, first place it in 5% hydrogen peroxide at 80°C for 1 hour, wash it with distilled water, and put it in 0.5mol L -1 treated in a sulfuric acid solution at 80°C for 1 hour, and then washed with distilled water. Place the treated Nafion membrane on the fixed frame of the prepared membrane electrode and fix it, the size of the active area is 5cm 2 , to prevent the membrane from shrinking and deforming during the spraying of the catalyst slurry;

[0056] In the second step, the carbon nanotubes are placed in a concentrated sulfuric acid / concentrated nitric acid solution with a volume ratio of 3:1 and ultrasonically treated for 30 minutes, refluxed at 80°C for 8 hours, filtered and washed with deionized water until the carbon nanotubes are neutral, and the obtained Acid treatment of carbon nanotubes;

[0057] The third step puts the acid-treated carbon nanotubes in the second step into a quartz tube fur...

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-power-density membrane electrode for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. According to the method, the thickness of solid electrolyte is reduced, the thickness of a catalyst layer is reduced by using a high-content catalyst, and a nano-carbon tube or carbon fiber is introduced into a cathode catalyst layer and / or gas diffusion layer to improve mass transfer of the catalyst layer and the diffusion layer, so that the power density of a membrane electrode is greatly improved. The preparation method is simple in steps, is practical and feasible and is low in cost, can be used for reducing the thickness of the membrane electrode while improving the performance of the membrane electrode, and is favorable to preparation of high-power-density fuel cells, galvanic piles and systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, in particular to a high power density membrane electrode containing hydrophilic carbon nanotubes or nitrided carbon nanotubes in a cathode catalytic layer or a cathode gas diffusion layer and a preparation method thereof.
