Problems solved by technology

[0011] 1. Low electrode porosity and low oxygen permeability;
[0012] 2. Due to the low porosity, the catalytic effect of the catalytic layer is poor, and the discharge performance of the battery is not high;
[0014] 4. Uneven distribution of pore size and pores may easily cause poor waterproof performance of the waterproof layer
[0015] 5. This sandwich-compressed electrode is likely to cause the waterproof layer and the catalytic layer to separate from the current collector, reducing the life of the electrode

Abstract

The invention relates to a making method of a porous high-performance metal fuel cell oxygen electrode. The method is characterized in that a volatile dispersant is used to substitute a pore forming agent, and a waterproof layer, a current collector and a catalysis layer are integrally molded in a molding die. A result of discharge test of the oxygen electrode made through the method at room temperature under a current density of 35 mA / cm<2> shows that the oxygen electrode can work for 6000 h or more without electrolyte seepage; and the discharge current density of the oxygen electrode made through the method can exceed 500 mA / cm<2>.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an oxygen electrode of a metal fuel cell, in particular to a method for manufacturing a porous high-performance oxygen electrode of a metal fuel cell. Background technique [0002] A metal fuel cell is a device that generates electricity by electrochemically reacting metal and oxygen, usually including magnesium-air fuel cells, aluminum-air fuel cells, lithium-air fuel cells, and zinc-air fuel cells. [0003] This type of fuel cell consists of metal electrodes, diaphragms, electrolytes, oxygen electrodes and casings. The oxygen electrode is a very important part, which often determines the performance and working life of the fuel cell. The object of key research and development.
