TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of fine chemical technology, in particular to a hydrogen fuel cell cooling liquid and a preparation method and application thereof, and particularly relates to a fuel cell cooling liquid with excellent antifreezing, low conductivity and excellent compatibility with sulfonic acid groups of a proton exchange membrane. BACKGROUND
[0002] A hydrogen fuel cell is a device that directly converts hydrogen and oxygen into electricity through an electrochemical reaction. It has the characteristics of high conversion efficiency and the product is only electricity, heat and water. The hydrogen fuel cell generates a large amount of heat, which must be cooled by a cooling medium to ensure the use performance and service life of the hydrogen fuel cell. The cooling medium is brought into the bipolar plate to take away the heat generated by the hydrogen fuel cell. Since the cooling medium is in direct contact with the bipolar plate, the cooling liquid must maintain a low conductivity to prevent power loss in the fuel cell. Generally, the cooling medium of the hydrogen fuel cell engine temperature control system requires excellent insulation, and its conductivity is less than 5 μS / cm.
[0003] In order to maintain the low conductivity of the cooling medium, high-purity water is often used in the past, but high-purity water has no antifreezing function and will freeze when the air temperature is lower than 0℃ and the fuel cell vehicle is in a stop state, which may cause the hydrogen fuel cell engine to crack.
[0004] In order to solve the antifreezing and low conductivity requirements of the cooling medium for the fuel cell, different technical solutions are adopted by manufacturers and research institutions to solve the antifreezing and low conductivity problems of the cooling liquid for the fuel cell, and corresponding patents are applied for.
[0005] Chinese patent CN109148915 discloses a fuel cell cooling liquid, the main components of which are ethylene glycol, triethanolamine, alkyl diethanolamide, phosphoric acid triester, triazole compound, defoaming agent and deionized water, which has antifreezing and anticorrosion functions. The use of triethanolamine itself will increase the conductivity. The antifreezing agent selected is ethylene glycol, which solves the problem of antifreezing of the fuel cell cooling liquid.
[0006] US patent US8187763 discloses a coolant composition for fuel cell units, which comprises at least one fatty alcohol having an unsaturated bond in each molecule having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, which solves the problem of oxidation of ethylene glycol in the coolant, so as to ensure that the conductivity of the coolant composition is kept at 10 uS / cm or less. The cooling liquid has no anticorrosion effect and cannot inhibit the precipitation of metal ions. The antifreezing agent selected is ethylene glycol, which solves the problem of oxidation of ethylene glycol.
[0007] US 20040086757 discloses a fuel cell and fuel cell coolant composition, which is composed of deionized water, freezing point depressant, polymer ion inhibitor and organic corrosion inhibitor, etc., to ensure the low conductivity characteristics of the coolant, and the antifreeze selected from glycerol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-butanediol, ethylene glycol ether, diacetone alcohol and ethanol.
[0008] The above patents all use one or more of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, ethanol, etc. as antifreeze to solve the problem of antifreeze of fuel cell coolant, but the fuel cell stack encounters a more urgent problem: once the coolant leaks to the core component of the fuel cell-proton membrane, it will directly affect the safety and performance of the stack, causing the proton membrane to be poisoned. The basic principle is that the high electronegativity of fluorine atoms in perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membrane pulls the electron cloud of sulfonate, which greatly enhances the dissociation ability of sulfonate on the branched chain of perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membrane in water, thereby promoting the hydrogen ion conduction ability of the structure. The antifreeze such as ethylene glycol in the fuel cell will react with the sulfonate on the proton membrane to cause the sulfonate on the proton membrane to lose the ability to conduct hydrogen ions.
[0009] In summary, hydrogen fuel cells have more stringent requirements for coolants, especially the toxic effects on proton membrane sulfonic groups, and it is necessary to propose a new solution for hydrogen fuel cell coolant to solve the problem of hydrogen fuel cell thermal management system for coolant antifreeze, corrosion prevention, ion inhibition and compatibility with proton membrane. SUMMARY
[0010] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a hydrogen fuel cell coolant with excellent antifreeze performance, low conductivity, metal ion inhibition performance, and excellent compatibility with proton membrane, as well as a preparation method and application thereof.
[0011] In order to achieve this object, the technical solution of the present application is as follows:
