Problems solved by technology

This treatment has the following problems: before the electrolyte is melted, it will affect the gas distribution in the flow field, affect the combustion of organic matter in the diaphragm and the volatilization of combustion products; the electrolyte is likely to be entrained by the gas into the pipeline, blocking the pipeline
A relatively complete electrolyte membrane can be obtained by using organic solvents and binders, but the added polymer binder is difficult to completely decompose during the heating process of MCFC, and the undecomposed binder will produce carbon deposition in the single cell, affecting MCFC performance
Patent CN200710041712.8 uses water as solvent to make LiAlO 2 The integrated electrolyte membrane prepared by ball milling with carbonate electrolyte has very low loose strength due to the binderless structure, and the large assembly pressure during the assembly process will fracture the integrated membrane, which directly leads to gas blow-by and air leakage of the diaphragm, and the performance is very poor. Poor or even cathode and anode short circuit cause direct combustion

Abstract

The invention discloses a binder-free molten carbonate fuel cell electrolyte membrane and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of fuel cells. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, weighing a certain amount of Li2CO3 and K2CO powder, or Li2CO3 and Na2CO3 powder as electrolyte powder; mixing the weighed electrolyte powder with an organic solvent, and carrying out ball milling to obtain electrolyte slurry; carrying out vacuum pumping and tape casting on the electrolyte slurry; and finally, conducting drying and cutting to obtain the electrolyte membrane. According to the method, a binder is not added into the electrolyte membrane in cell stack assembling, and an electrolyte is directly filled with the membrane carrier after being molten, so the loss of the electrolyte under a high-temperature condition can be reduced, cell performance is improved, the service life of the cell is prolonged, and the method has good application prospects.
