Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ion exchange resins, and in particular relates to a proton exchange membrane and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Fuel cells are a clean energy technology that can alleviate energy and environmental problems. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are an important type of fuel cell that has been used in new energy vehicles; the proton exchange membrane is its key component, which plays a role in transferring protons, blocking cathode and anode materials, and blocking electrons.

[0003] In the actual operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, there will be more or less reaction gas penetration, which causes hydrogen and oxygen to come into direct contact, react to generate H2O2, and then react with impurity ions such as Fe in the fuel cell. 2+ The reaction produces free radicals HO·. The carboxylic acid groups on the side chains and end chains of the perfluorosulfonic acid membrane are easily attacked by free radicals. As a result, the long polymer chains of the membrane are gradually corroded and degraded, accelerating the corrosion of the proton exchange membrane and making the membrane thinner and thinner.

[0004] In order to improve the durability of the proton exchange membrane, a free radical quencher is generally added to it. Cerium dioxide is widely used in proton exchange membranes due to its super strong free radical quenching performance. However, ordinary ceria is difficult to disperse evenly in the proton exchange membrane coating liquid; and the addition of additional ceria reduces the proportion of perfluorosulfonic acid resin in the proton exchange membrane, which will affect the performance of the proton exchange membrane. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the above technical problems, the study found that in addition to the difficulty of uniformly dispersing cerium dioxide particles in the coating liquid of the proton exchange membrane, during the continuous production coating process, the cerium dioxide particles in the coating liquid in the silo will settle, which will easily cause the cerium dioxide content in the same batch of proton exchange membranes (PEM) to be different, and the product quality stability cannot be guaranteed; in addition, ordinary cerium dioxide particles are non-hydrophilic inorganic substances, and when doped into perfluorosulfonic acid PEM, they tend to enter the organic phase of perfluorosulfonic acid resin, reducing the mechanical properties of PEM. Based on this, the present invention proposes to add hydrated nano-cerium oxide as a free radical quencher to the proton exchange membrane. The surface of hydrated nano-cerium oxide is rich in hydroxyl groups, which is hydrophilic and can improve the water retention performance of the proton exchange membrane; in addition, the polarization performance and durability of the proton exchange membrane are also significantly improved compared with the proton exchange membrane made of nano-cerium oxide particles.

[0041] (2) spreading the reinforcement layer on the first liquid film;

[0042] (3a) coating another layer of the proton exchange membrane coating liquid on the reinforcement layer to form a second liquid membrane;

[0045] According to the present invention, the reinforcement layer is a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, preferably a porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane.

[0046] Beneficial Effects of the Invention

[0047] (1) Conventional cerium oxide has no other function in the proton exchange membrane except for the free radical quenching function; cerium oxide occupies a certain volume in the proton exchange membrane, reduces the proportion of perfluorosulfonic acid resin, and reduces the proton conduction performance of the proton exchange membrane. The present invention uses hydrated nano cerium oxide with rich surface hydroxyl groups as a free radical quencher. The addition of additional hydroxyl groups makes it hydrophilic and tends to enter the ionic phase cavity of perfluorosulfonic acid resin in the proton exchange membrane. Under the condition of not affecting the continuity of perfluorosulfonic acid resin (i.e., not reducing the mechanical properties of the proton exchange membrane), the water retention performance of the proton exchange membrane can be improved, thereby improving its proton conduction performance.

[0048] (2) Cerium oxide is a non-hydrophilic substance and tends to exist in the organic phase of perfluorosulfonic acid resin in the proton exchange membrane, reducing the continuity of the perfluorosulfonic acid resin, thereby reducing the mechanical properties of the proton exchange membrane. The hydrated nano-cerium oxide of the present invention is a hydrophilic substance and exists in the ionic phase pores of the network cluster structure formed by the perfluorosulfonic acid resin in the proton exchange membrane, which does not affect the continuity of the perfluorosulfonic acid resin and the mechanical properties of the proton exchange membrane. Furthermore, the hydroxyl radicals that cause the degradation of the perfluorosulfonic acid resin use water as a carrier, and the hydrated nano-cerium oxide in the hydrophilic ionic phase is more likely to contact the hydroxyl radicals and quench them, and the quenching efficiency is high.

[0049] (3) The hydrated nano-cerium oxide used in the present invention is sol-state cerium oxide of 3-15 nm. Due to its small particle size, the area provided per unit mass is large and the free radical quenching performance is strong; and the small particle size of cerium oxide has little effect on the proton exchange membrane and will not cause additional defects to the proton exchange membrane.

[0050] (4) Cerium oxide has the property of quenching free radicals, but conventional cerium oxide is in a granular form and is difficult to be evenly dispersed in the coating liquid of the proton exchange membrane; and in the continuous membrane-making process, the cerium oxide particles in the coating liquid are easy to settle, resulting in uneven distribution of the free radical quencher in the proton exchange membrane. The present invention directly adds hydrated nano-cerium oxide to the coating liquid for the proton exchange membrane, and in particular, adds it to the coating liquid for the proton exchange membrane in the form of hydrated nano-cerium oxide sol. The hydrated nano-cerium oxide sol itself is a colloidal form in which nano-cerium oxide is evenly dispersed. The dispersion obtained by adding the hydrated nano-cerium oxide sol to the coating liquid is still in the form of nano-cerium oxide colloid evenly dispersed in the coating liquid, that is, a coating liquid in which the free radical quencher is evenly dispersed can be obtained. After the proton exchange membrane is made, the free radical quencher can be evenly dispersed in the proton exchange membrane.

[0051] In summary, the present invention adopts hydrated nano-cerium oxide as a free radical quencher, which is added to the coating liquid in the form of a sol and can be well and evenly dispersed; its surface is rich in hydroxyl groups, which can have the effect of retaining water and increasing humidity for the proton exchange membrane; and the smaller particle size will not bring additional defects to the proton exchange membrane.

[0076] Test Case

[0077] The proton exchange membranes prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were tested for proton conductivity, polarization performance, and fluoride ion concentration. The specific test methods are as follows:

[0078] Proton conductivity detection:

[0079] The proton exchange membranes in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were placed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 25°C and 50% RH for 12 hours, and then taken out for proton conductivity testing. Proton conductivity testing was performed using a four-electrode method under the following conditions: 85°C, 50% RH, a perturbation voltage of 100 mV, and a frequency of 1-10 5 Hz, the size of the proton exchange membrane used for detection is 1 cm×4.5 cm, and the proton conductivity data of the obtained proton exchange membrane are shown in Table 1.

[0080] Polarization performance test:

[0081] Using an ultrasonic sprayer, Pt / C catalyst was sprayed on both sides of the proton exchange membrane in Example 1-3 and Comparative Example 1-2, so that the Pt loading on the anode side of the proton exchange membrane was 0.2 mg / cm 2 , the cathode Pt loading is 0.4 mg / cm 2 , making CCM. CCM is assembled into a single cell, and the test conditions are as follows:

[0082] - Fuel: 99.999% pure H2, stoichiometric ratio 1.2, RH 30%;

[0083] ——Oxidant: Standard air prepared from 99.999% pure nitrogen and high-purity oxygen, with an oxygen content of 21%. The stoichiometric ratio is 2.5, RH 100%;

[0084] ——Battery temperature: 80℃;

[0085] ——Outlet back pressure: gauge pressure 0MPa.

[0086] The measured polarization curve is as follows Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The right picture is a partial enlargement of the left picture.

[0087] Fenton experiment method:

[0088] Take 5 cm×5 cm of the proton exchange membranes of Example 1-3 and Comparative Example 1-2, put them into 50 ml of Fenton reagent (30% hydrogen peroxide containing 20 ppm FeSO4), stir and reflux at 80°C for 4 hours, take out the Fenton reagent, and detect the fluoride ion concentration therein; add 50 ml of new Fenton reagent, stir and reflux at 80°C for 4 hours, and repeat the above detection. The fluoride ion concentration in the Fenton reagent is shown in Table 2.

[0089] Table 1 Proton conductivity of proton exchange membranes of Comparative Examples 1-2 and Examples 1-3

[0090]

[0091] From Table 1 and Figure 1 It can be seen that the proton conductivity of the proton exchange membranes prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2 and Examples 1-3 is basically the same, and the addition of hydrated nano-cerium oxide (sol) has no effect on the proton conductivity of the proton exchange membrane; while the proton conductivity of the PEM with the addition of 20-40nm nano-cerium oxide is significantly reduced; this is mainly due to the smaller average particle size of hydrated nano-cerium oxide (sol) (3.883nm, such as Figure 2 The addition of hydrated nano-cerium oxide (sol) introduced a considerable number of hydroxyl groups, improved the water retention of the membrane, and significantly improved the polarization performance of the proton exchange membrane at 80℃RH30% (as shown in Figure 2). Figure 1 shown).

[0093]

[0094] As can be seen from Table 2, the fluoride ion concentration of the proton exchange membrane prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2 is much higher than that of the PEM prepared in Examples 1-3 (as shown in Table 2). The addition of hydrated nano-cerium oxide (sol) significantly improves the stability of the proton exchange membrane without affecting other properties of the proton exchange membrane, and reduces the degradation rate of the proton exchange membrane.
