Abstract

The invention relates to stable and high-performance proton exchange membrane fuel cell catalyst slurry and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps of: firstly, preparing a first mixed solution and a second mixed solution of water and isopropanol, mixing and dispersing the first mixed solution and a Nafion solution, obtaining a Nafion mixed solution, mixing and dispensing the second mixed solution and a catalyst, and obtaining catalyst slurry; and finally, mixing the Nafion mixed solution with the catalyst slurry, and carrying out ultrasonic dispersion to obtain the proton exchange membrane fuel cell catalyst slurry. Compared with the prior art, the stable and high-performance proton exchange membrane fuel cell catalyst slurry and the preparation method thereof have the advantages that the electrostatic repulsion in the slurry can be increased, so that the slurry is more stable, meanwhile, the ionomer can be more uniformly dispersed on the catalytic layer, the number of reachable protons is increased, and the performance of the fuel cell is improved. In addition, the method is simple to operate and suitable for large-scale preparation of the slurry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cell catalyst slurry preparation, and relates to a stable and high-performance proton exchange membrane fuel cell catalyst slurry and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The membrane electrode (MEA) is considered to be the "chip" of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), and the catalytic layer (CL), as one of the important components of the MEA, is an important place for the electrode reaction, which has a great impact on the performance and durability of the PEMFC Sex matters. However, CL has been facing the problems of slow reaction kinetics of the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction and high mass transport overpotential. An important reason for these problems is the coverage of Pt by ionomers in the catalyst aggregates on CL. Pt will reduce the catalytic active sites resulting in the loss of oxygen reduction reaction activity, while the high density and thick iono...
