Abstract

The invention discloses a three-dimensional fuel cell catalyst layer electrode and a preparation method thereof. The fuel cell catalyst layer electrode is formed by processing of a catalyst material,a filler material, an ion conductor solution and a solvent; the catalyst material is a carbon-supported platinum catalyst or a carbon-supported platinum alloy catalyst; the filler material is one or amixture of at least two of a multiwalled carbon nanotube, VGCF-X and VGCF-H; the ion conductor solution is a perfluorinated sulfonic acid ionomer resin solution; and the solvent is one or a mixture of at least two of ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and normal propyl alcohol. According to the invention, three-dimensional filler material is added to a conventional catalyst layer slurry, such as acarbon nanotube or a carbon nanofiber material, and by mixing the filler material with a carbon-supported catalyst, a three-dimensional space is formed in the catalyst layer, so as to reduce the masstransfer resistance in the electrode, improve the mass transfer characteristic of the catalyst layer in a high current density, and further greatly improve the output performance and the stability ofthe fuel cell electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to an efficient three-dimensional catalytic layer electrode structure and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to its high efficiency and environmental friendliness, proton exchange membrane fuel cells have received close attention from various research institutions in recent years. Membrane electrode (MEA), as the core component of fuel cell, usually consists of gas diffusion layer, catalytic layer and proton exchange membrane. The catalytic layer is the place where the electrochemical reaction occurs in the membrane electrode assembly (MEA). The performance and stability of the catalytic layer largely determine the electrochemical performance of the MEA. Longevity presents a higher pursuit. [0003] The traditional membrane electrode preparation method is to mix and disperse the catalyst and proton conductor (such as Nafion) in a certain proportio...
