Problems solved by technology

[0005] Therefore, if the traditional fuel cell coolant is used to improve the heat transfer effect, the main method is to increase the heat transfer area and increase the flow rate of the working medium, which will lead to a larger fuel cell cooling system and increased power consumption of pumping auxiliary equipment, which will greatly affect overall performance of the fuel cell
On the other hand, the maximum working temperature range of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is 60-80°C. The temperature difference between the battery stack and the environment to increase the heat transfer rate
[0006] A comprehensive analysis of the current traditional fuel cell coolant has the characteristics of low thermal conductivity and poor heat transfer capacity, which can no longer meet the high-load heat dissipation requirements of high-power-density fuel cells. This contradiction is even more important for fuel cell systems operating under high-temperature environmental conditions In order to highlight, it is necessary to develop a new type of cooling fluid with high heat exchange

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a novel cooling liquid for improving the heat transfer efficiency of fuel cells and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The principle of fuel cell power generation is that the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen is electrochemically reacted to generate electricity. Hydrogen dissociates into hydrogen ions at the anode. After passing through the proton exchange membrane, it reacts with oxygen at the cathode to generate water. Electrons arrive from the anode through an external circuit. The cathode forms a current loop on the external circuit. This power generation method has the characteristics of cleanness, no pollution, no noise, and no infrared. It is considered to be the preferred efficient and clean power generation technology in the 21st century, and it is also an ideal mobile power technology. Military backup power supply, underwate...
