Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a pressure-resistant membrane electrode and a preparation method thereof, and an electrochemical hydrogen pump containing the same. Background Art
[0002] Hydrogen is a unique secondary energy source. It is gaining more and more attention from countries around the world because of its clean and pollution-free characteristics. In the future, in addition to hydrogen production technology, the development of hydrogen separation, purification and compression technology with high efficiency, low cost, reliable performance and large-scale production will become the key to the development of the hydrogen economy.
[0003] The electrochemical hydrogen pump (also known as the electrochemical hydrogen compressor) is a hydrogen separation and purification device. Its structure is similar to that of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, but it uses an electrolysis mode, which can oxidize hydrogen at the anode and reduce hydrogen at the cathode. The electrochemical hydrogen pump can be used to compress hydrogen, and the maximum output pressure that can be achieved can reach several hundred atmospheres. Compared with traditional mechanical compression methods, the electrochemical hydrogen pump has many advantages, such as simple structure, high compression efficiency, low energy consumption; no mechanical wear, quiet operation and no noise; the compressed hydrogen has high purity and will not be contaminated by lubricating oil. When the amount of hydrogen is limited, the advantages of the electrochemical hydrogen pump will be more obvious.
[0004] The working principle of the electrochemical hydrogen pump: pressurization is achieved by redox reaction. Low-pressure hydrogen undergoes oxidation reaction at the anode to generate protons, which are transferred to the cathode through the diaphragm and then reduced to hydrogen. Driven by an external voltage, the cathode hydrogen generates back pressure. The hydrogen electrochemical compression process can theoretically be carried out under near-isothermal conditions, so it is expected to achieve more efficient hydrogen compression. The compression process is also carried out completely under static conditions. It is a potential low-cost, low-power hydrogen compression method, which is expected to be applied to 35MPa / 70MPa hydrogen refueling stations to improve the economic efficiency of the hydrogen energy industry chain.
[0005] Like proton exchange membrane fuel cells, membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is also the core component of proton exchange membrane electrochemical hydrogen compression device. It is composed of proton exchange membrane, electrocatalyst and gas diffusion electrode. The membrane electrode realizes zero-distance contact between the membrane and the electrode, reduces the system ohmic resistance loss caused by the electrolyte, and can improve the energy conversion efficiency of the system. Because the cathode reaction, anode reaction, electron conduction and ion conduction in the electrochemical reaction process all occur on the membrane electrode, the role of the membrane electrode is crucial.
[0006] However, the membrane electrode used in the existing electrochemical hydrogen pump has poor pressure resistance, making it difficult to achieve more efficient hydrogen compression. Therefore, how to effectively improve the pressure resistance of the membrane electrode is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field. Summary of the invention
