Abstract

The membrane electrode in multiple layers is composed of anodic catalysis layer, membrane of electrolyte and cathodal catalysis layer. There is a layer of polymer dielectric between the membrane of electrolyte and the anodic catalysis layer, the cathodal catalysis layer. The layer of polymer dielectric can change microstructure of interface between the membrane of electrolyte and the anodic catalysis layer, the cathodal catalysis layer. The method includes steps: (1) preparing the layer of polymer dielectric; (2) preparing catalyst slurry; (3) preparing the anodic catalysis layer, the cathodal catalysis layer so as to obtain membrane electrode; (4) heat treating the membrane electrode obtained from step (3) so as to produce finished product. The invention improves binding force between catalysis layer and membrane of electrolyte, lowers contact resistance between membrane and electrode as well as enhances conduction of protons and electrons.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, and relates to a membrane electrode (MEA) structure of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, multi-functional portable electronic products have developed rapidly. The specific energy density of various primary or secondary batteries currently commercialized is low, and it is necessary to increase the volume and weight of batteries to meet the electricity demand of electronic products. Moreover, the primary or secondary battery has the problem of environmental pollution. A fuel cell is a power generation device that directly converts the chemical energy of fuel and oxidant into electrical energy. The fuel can be hydrogen, organic compounds such as petroleum, reformed gas of methanol, and organic alcohols such as liquid methanol and ethanol. Fuel cells have the advantages of simple structure, high theoretical specif...
