Embodiment 1

[0022] Make the active area 5 cm 2 The membrane electrode is assembled into the single cell fixture and connected to the test instrument. After checking the airtightness of the fixture, N is introduced into the cathode and anode. 2 Purge for 30 s. The working temperature was set at 80 °C, and air and hydrogen with a relative humidity of 100% were fed to the cathode and anode respectively, the stoichiometric ratio was 1.5, and the gas pressure was set to 0.1 MPa. After the temperature rose to 80 °C, the fuel cell was forced to activate with a constant rate of continuously variable voltage. The activation procedure was as follows: the voltage was increased from the open circuit voltage to 4 mV s -1 The constant rate linearly decreases to the preset low voltage value of 0.2 V. When the voltage of the single cell drops to 0.2 V, the current is quickly cut off, and the battery returns to the open circuit voltage ( figure 1 ). The above activation steps were repeated, and the pol...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a method for rapidly activating membrane electrodes of proton exchange membrane fuel cells and an application thereof. The method can obviously shorten the time required for fuel cell activation. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an energy conversion device that directly converts chemical energy in fuel into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. choose. PEMFC single cell consists of membrane electrode assembly, bipolar plate, current collector and end plate, among which the membrane electrode component (composed of proton exchange membrane, catalytic layer and gas diffusion layer) is the key to the fuel cell. When the fuel cell is first assembled, the proton conduction is hindered due to the lack of water inside the proton exchange membrane and the catalytic layer. Therefore, in order to quickly construct a reasonable ...
