Abstract

The invention discloses a catalyst layer fully ordered fuel cell electrode and a membrane electrode, and relates to the technical field of fuel cells. The electrode catalyst layer is composed of an ordered carbon nanotube carrier and platinum-based catalyst nanowires grown on the carrier in an orderly manner. The ion conductor is evenly distributed in the catalytic layer to form an ordered ion transmission channel, and the ordered array structure of the carrier and the catalyst nanowire determines the order of the gas-liquid transmission channel. The electrode with fully ordered components and structure of the catalytic layer is laminated with the polyelectrode plasma membrane to form a membrane electrode based on the fully ordered components and structure of the catalytic layer. The fully ordered fuel cell electrodes and membrane electrodes of the present invention can combine the high-efficiency electron conduction and mass transfer characteristics of ordered carbon nanotube carrier arrays and the high activity and stability of ordered platinum-based catalyst nanowires, greatly The discharge performance and stability of fuel cell electrodes and membrane electrodes are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a fully ordered fuel cell electrode and membrane electrode based on catalytic layer components and structures. Background technique [0002] Electrodes and membrane electrodes are the core components of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). They are the final places for multiphase material transport and electrochemical reactions that cause energy conversion, and determine the performance, life and cost of PEMFC. As early as 2013, the U.S. Department of Energy clearly stated in the "Fuel Cell Technical Roadmap" that the performance target of membrane electrodes in 2020 is to reach a power density of 1.0W / cm 2 , the accelerated aging life can reach 5000h, and the cost is less than 14$ / kW. With the process of commercialization of PEMFC, people put forward a higher pursuit of its performance and life. [0003] However, in the current preparation of PEMFC electrodes and me...
