Problems solved by technology

This method has the following disadvantages: ①It takes a lot of catalyst and membrane materials; ②Assembling the battery is time-consuming and laborious; ③The obtained battery performance data is a comprehensive result, and it is difficult to obtain the influence of the binder on the mass transfer of oxygen in it.
However, HT-PEMFCs generally operate at atmospheric pressure, and in the catalytic layer of HT-PEMFCs, oxygen electrochemically reacts at the interface between the platinum catalyst and the binder, resulting in the diffusion of oxygen molecules dissolved in the binder to the surface of the platinum catalyst. , the existing differential pressure gas transmission rate tester cannot simulate the electrochemical environment in which HT-PEMFCs operate
In addition, the operating temperature of HT-PEMFCs is generally 100-200°C, and the existing differential pressure gas transmission rate tester cannot achieve stable operation at such a high temperature
