Embodiment 1

[0024] A preparation method of a novel polytetrafluoroethylene thermally modified gas diffusion electrode, comprising the following steps:

[0025] Step 1: Weigh 1g of conductive carbon black and dissolve it in 80mL of absolute ethanol, mix well, add 5mL of PTFE, and disperse evenly by ultrasonic to obtain a mixed emulsion. The mixed emulsion was continuously stirred at 80° C., and a paste was obtained after ethanol volatilized. The paste was dried at 90°C for 2h, and then placed in a tube furnace for calcination at 500°C for 1h to obtain a new conductive carbon black / PTFE composite material.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemistry, and relates to a preparation method for a novel polytetrafluoroethylene thermal modified gas diffusion electrode. The preparation method comprises the steps of firstly mixing conductive carbon black, anhydrous ethyl alcohol and polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion to obtain mixtures, and performing heat treatment to the mixtures to obtain the conductive carbon black/PTFE composites; then remixing the obtained composites as precursors with the anhydrous ethyl alcohol and the polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion to obtain mixed emulsion,and rolling the mixed emulsion on a stainless steel net to obtain a preliminary gas diffusion electrode; and calcining the preliminary gas diffusion electrode in a muffle furnace to obtain the novel polytetrafluoroethylene thermal modified gas diffusion electrode. According to the preparation method, the synthesizing technology of a traditional gas diffusion electrode is improved, and PTFE furtherplays a role as a modifier of a conductive carbon black catalyst while the PTFE is used as adhesive, so that the gas diffusion electrode synthesized through two high temperature processes has the advantages of higher catalytic activity and stability.
