Abstract

The invention provides a membrane electrode assembly of a fuel cell. The membrane electrode assembly comprises a gas diffusion layer, a micro-porous layer, a catalysis layer and an electrolyte membrane which are successively overlapped; in a direction of an air flow path, the thickness of the micro-porous layer is gradually reduced, the thickness of the catalysis layer is gradually increased, andthe total thickness of the micro-porous layer is consistent with the total thickness of the catalysis layer. The invention also provides a production method of the membrane electrode assembly of the fuel cell. The membrane electrode assembly of the fuel cell has the functions of balancing the content of water in areas of a gas inlet and a gas outlet of the fuel cell, finally improving the stability of the fuel cell under various temperatures and humidities, improving durability, reducing the catalyst loading capacity, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a fuel cell membrane electrode assembly and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, low emission and no pollution, fuel cells have broad prospects for development in the fields of transportation, backup power, and distributed power stations. A typical fuel cell cell consists of an electrolyte membrane (typically a proton exchange membrane), catalytic electrodes for the cathode and anode, a gas diffusion layer, and bipolar plates. Gas diffusion media in fuel cells typically consist of a conductive porous substrate such as carbon fiber paper or carbon cloth, with a microporous layer attached to it. The microporous layer usually includes carbon powder and hydrophobic fluoropolymer, which plays a role in drainage and ventilation and enhances electron transport capabilities. The microporous layer plays...
