Problems solved by technology

However, due to the currently used commercial proton-conducting membranes have strong adsorption and swelling capabilities for the solvent in the catalyst ink, when the catalyst slurry is placed on the membrane, it will cause deformation of the membrane, which will affect the structure of the entire catalyst layer. Continuity, uniformity have a great influence

Abstract

The present invention relates to a preparation method of film electrode component for protein exchange film fuel cell. The catalyst slurry prepared by using low boiling point and low viscosity alcohol as dispering agent and using high boiling point and high viscosity alcohol as stabilizing agent can be directly coated on the surface of conductive film. The proton conductive film premoistened by high boiling point and high viscosity alcohol can not be deformed, after the catalyst slurry is coated on it, and can form the invented film electrode component with uniform, continuous and high-activecatalyst layer.
