Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of proton exchange membrane fuel cell preparation, and relates to a fuel cell membrane electrode with a frame packaging structure, and in particular to a membrane electrode frame packaging structure. Background Art
[0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) boast low pollution, cleanliness, excellent low-temperature adaptability, and high energy conversion efficiency. Hydrogen fuel cells have become a key development direction in the new energy sector. As the core component of PEMFC power generation, the lifespan, cost, and large-scale production efficiency of the membrane electrode (MEA) are key constraints to the industry's development. Therefore, developing an edge-sealing structure suitable for mass production and capable of effectively extending the lifespan of the MEA is a key development direction for the industry.
[0003] like Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a diagram of a common membrane electrode frame seal structure. The most common membrane electrode seal structure on the market is a double-layer symmetrical frame seal structure. The gas diffusion layer is slightly smaller than the hollow space in the frame. Designers hope to ensure good contact between the gas diffusion layer and the catalyst layer, while also providing some resistance to the movement of the gas diffusion layer through the edge of the frame. However, this design may pose a risk: the force applied to the edge of the gas diffusion layer can cause mechanical shearing on the proton exchange membrane, potentially affecting the life of the proton exchange membrane.
[0004] like Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a membrane electrode structure using resin or rubber seals instead of frame seals, as described in patent CN2588552Y. This technical solution provides a membrane electrode sealing structure for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, using resin or rubber instead of a frame sealing structure, with the resin or rubber being made into a liquid or molten state. However, this method may require high-temperature dissolution of the sealing material, such as melting silicone at around 170°C. This integration with the proton exchange membrane carries the risk of complex processing, damage to the proton exchange membrane, and low yield.
[0005] like Figure 3 , Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of a membrane electrode frame seal with a frame step constructed in patent CN 112490465A. This technical solution provides a membrane electrode seal structure for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. This structure creates a depression by surface plasma etching or laser etching a single-layer frame. This depression serves as a sealing step for the proton exchange membrane, and glue is then applied to the step to secure the frame and the proton exchange membrane. While this method can reduce the amount of frame used, creating a shaped depression of tens to tens of microns on a thin sheet of tens to hundreds of microns can be inconvenient to manufacture and process, and the production process is complex, posing significant challenges and risks in terms of cost and efficiency.
[0006] Therefore, how to find a membrane electrode frame sealing structure that can effectively reduce the shear force of the proton exchange membrane, increase the life of the proton exchange membrane, and can be mass-produced is very necessary for the industry and is also one of the problems that many front-line researchers urgently need to solve.

The fuel cell membrane electrode with the frame packaging structure is preferably structured as follows:
[0081] The sealed frame structure of the membrane electrode of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell consists of a proton exchange membrane containing two catalyst layers, a gas diffusion layer 1, a gas diffusion layer 2, a frame 1 (hollow frame 1), a frame 2 (hollow frame 2), an adhesive 1, and an adhesive 2.

[0095] The present invention provides a membrane electrode frame packaging structure. The fuel cell membrane electrode with a frame packaging structure provided by the present invention can effectively reduce the shear force of the proton exchange membrane, increase the life of the proton exchange membrane, and can be mass-produced.
[0096] Experimental results show that after the durability test, the fuel cell membrane electrode with a frame packaging structure provided by the present invention has a leakage rate caused by mechanical shearing at the edge of the proton membrane reduced by more than 95% compared with the number without mechanical shear protection. It can basically effectively protect the edge shearing of the proton exchange membrane.

[0097] In order to further illustrate the present invention, a fuel cell membrane electrode with a frame packaging structure provided by the present invention is described in detail below in combination with the embodiments. However, it should be understood that these embodiments are implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures are given only to further illustrate the features and advantages of the present invention, rather than to limit the claims of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0098] Example 1
[0099] like Figure 4 As shown, the implementation method of membrane electrode sealing includes the following steps:
[0100] 1. First, cut and shape the raw material of frame 1 with a thickness of 0.022mm-0.27mm; cut and shape the raw material of frame 2 with a thickness of 0.022mm-0.27mm; apply the catalyst on both sides to the proton exchange membrane respectively; cut and shape the gas diffusion layer 1 and gas diffusion layer 2; wherein the frame 1 and frame 2, gas diffusion layer 1 and gas diffusion layer 2 are all asymmetric structures;
[0101] 2. Lay the proton exchange membrane coated with the catalytic layer on the frames 1 and 2, with the edge of the proton exchange membrane extending at least 3 mm beyond the inner hollow edge of frame 1;
[0102] 3. The gas diffusion layer 1 and the gas diffusion layer 2 are respectively adhered to the frame 1 and the designated positions of the proton exchange membrane using adhesives 1 and adhesives 2 with a thickness of 0.005 to 0.1 mm to complete the bonding of the gas diffusion layers.
[0103] The above processing must be carried out in a sufficiently clean environment to form the membrane electrode frame sealing structure designed in the present invention.
[0104] Example 2
[0105] like Figure 5 shown. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the frame sealing structure provided in Example 2 of the present invention.
[0106] The width of the proton exchange membrane can be as wide as the edge of the frame. This solution has low requirements for operational positioning accuracy, but the width of the proton exchange membrane is wider than the gas diffusion layer 2. The edge of the adhesive 2 must wrap the frame of the gas diffusion layer 2 to further protect the exposed carbon fiber. This solution is an extension of the present invention.
[0107] Example 3
[0108] like Figure 6 shown. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the frame sealing structure provided in Example 3 of the present invention.
[0109] The gas diffusion layer 1 is bonded to the outside of the frame 1. Within the active area, a gap exists between the edge of the gas diffusion layer and the catalyst layer of the proton exchange membrane. The impact of this edge contact can be reduced by reducing the thickness of the frame 1. To ensure support strength, the thickness of the frame 2 is increased. This design, based on the thickness of the carbon material, is also an extension of the present invention.
