Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a proton exchange membrane fuel cell membrane electrode and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an efficient and environmentally friendly power generation method. Its energy efficiency conversion rate exceeds 60%, which is much higher than the energy conversion efficiency of internal combustion engines of 30% to 35%. In addition, fuel cells use hydrogen as fuel, and the fuel is renewable And the sources are wide, and the discharge is only water, which has special significance for national energy strategy and environmental protection. As the core component of the fuel cell, the membrane electrode (MEA) directly affects the output performance and service life of the fuel cell; moreover, the membrane electrode constitutes the main part of the cost of the fuel cell, accounting for about 69% at present. Therefore, how to improve the performance of the membrane el...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, judging from the current development situation, these measures have certain defects and cannot achieve the ideal self-humidification effect.

For example, the inorganic particles added in the MEA components are prone to agglomeration or loss after working for a long time, thereby reducing the performance stability and service life of the fuel cell; the polymer additives will increase the resistance of the membrane electrode, and the compatibility of the polymer Sexual problems will also increase the difficulty of the preparation process of membrane electrodes

As for the additional moisturizing layer, it will also fall off or be damaged after a long time of work

In addition, traditional MEA anode catalysts generally have a single-layer structure, and the amount of reaction water generated by the battery will increase sharply under high current density working conditions. If the anode catalyst layer does not have good water management measures, it is also prone to water flooding, especially After the humidification modification
