Problems solved by technology

As described in the patent CN201180015920.5, a pair of substrates coated with an electrocatalytic layer is arranged in a way of supporting the electrolyte membrane, and a pair of lamination rollers are used to apply heat pressure from the outside of the substrate, thereby thermally transferring the electrocatalytic layer. Although the method controls the shrinkage and deformation of the proton exchange membrane, the operation is complicated through the transfer process, and there is an interface effect between the catalytic layer and the proton exchange membrane, which reduces the performance of the MEA.
As described in patent CN200810024885.3, the proton exchange membrane is treated in hydrogen peroxide, boiled in pure water, and finally washed in distilled water. After the slurry is prepared, the CCM is produced by spraying. Long cycle, not conducive to mass production

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a preparation method of a fuel cell membrane electrode assembly. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (hereinafter referred to as fuel cell) is a power generation device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy by using the electrochemical reaction of fuel (hydrogen) and oxidant (generally air) without the Carnot cycle. The fuel cell membrane electrode assembly (MEA) composed of proton exchange membrane and noble metal catalyst is the core component of the fuel cell. During the operation of the fuel cell, the MEA needs to effectively separate the fuel from the oxidant to prevent the direct mixing of the fuel and the oxidant. Chemical reactions, in extreme cases, may even cause explosions, or the mutual leakage of fuel and oxidant may cause battery power generation efficiency to decrease and life attenuation. [0003] In proton ...
