Abstract

Disclosed is a bipolar membrane type direct borohydride fuel cell. The bipolar membrane type direct borohydride fuel cell comprises at least one cell unit; each cell unit consists of two layers of solid-state electrolyte membranes with ion selectivity transmission property; the solid-state electrolyte membranes are divided into two parts by the bipolar membrane; and the bipolar membrane adopts a three-layer structure which includes a cation exchange membrane layer, an anion exchange membrane layer and an intermediate interface layer positioned between the two exchange membrane layers. By adoption of the bipolar membrane type direct borohydride fuel cell, the negative electrode and the positive electrode can adopt non-uniform electrolytes, and a mixed potential caused by permeation of an intermediate product generated by the positive electrode fuel or the positive electrode to the negative electrode can be prevented; and meanwhile, permeation of a negative electrode product to the positive electrode also can be prevented, polarization loss of the electrode is lowered, the mixed potential is eliminated, and the fuel utilization rate and the output power are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an alkaline fuel cell directly fed in a full liquid state, in particular to a direct borohydride fuel cell using alkaline borohydride solution as fuel and acidic hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (proton exchange membrane fuel cell, PEMFC) is a power generation device that directly converts the chemical energy stored in hydrogen fuel and oxidant into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. With the advantages of high density, it has broad application prospects in the fields of mobile power sources and fixed power stations, especially as a vehicle energy source and portable power source. However, proton exchange membrane fuel cells using hydrogen as fuel have fuel supply, storage and transportation problems and subsequent dangers during use, forcing people to turn their attention to liquid fuels that can be directly electrochemically oxidized, such as meth...
