Description

Technical Field

[0002] A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell whose main principle is to convert the chemical energy in the fuel and oxidant directly into electrical energy through a redox reaction. Among them, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, as an important branch in the field of fuel cells, have the general characteristics of fuel cells and also have outstanding advantages such as fast start-up speed at room temperature, small size, no electrolyte loss, easy drainage, long life, high specific power and specific energy.

[0003] The core component of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is the membrane electrode, which is the place where the fuel cell performs redox reactions.

The first frame membrane, the first catalyst layer, the proton exchange membrane, the second catalyst layer, and the second frame membrane are stacked in sequence.

[0076] In one embodiment, the material of the first positioning frame gasket 30 may be a hard film material. Specifically, the hard film material is selected from at least one of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PI (polyimide) and PEEK (polyetheretherketone).

[0077] The thickness of the first positioning frame gasket 30 is smaller than the thickness of the first gas diffusion layer (such as Figure 7 In one embodiment, the difference between the thickness of the first positioning frame gasket 30 and the thickness of the first gas diffusion layer subsequently fixed is less than or equal to 30 microns.

[0078] Step S104, please refer to Figure 4 , providing a first adhesive material 40.

[0080] In one embodiment, the first adhesive layer 401 is a double-sided adhesive tape. In one embodiment, a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) core may be provided inside the double-sided adhesive tape to increase the hardness of the double-sided adhesive tape. It can be understood that the double-sided adhesive tape has viscosity. That is, the first adhesive layer 401 has viscosity.

[0081] In one embodiment, the thickness of the first adhesive layer 401 is 3 μm to 20 μm. In one embodiment, the thickness of the first release film 402 is less than or equal to 25 μm. In one embodiment, the thickness of the second release film 403 is greater than or equal to 50 μm.

[0082] The adhesion between the first release film 402 and the first adhesive layer 401 is smaller than the adhesion between the second release film 403 and the first adhesive layer 401 .

[0083] Step S105, please refer to Figure 5 , a portion of the first release film 402 is removed to expose a portion of the first adhesive layer 401 , and the exposed first adhesive layer 401 is set as the first adhesive layer portion 4011 , and the remaining first adhesive layer 401 is set as the second adhesive layer portion 4012 .

[0084] Specifically, the first release film 402 and the first adhesive layer 401 are cut along the direction from the first release film 402 to the second release film 403 to form an incision (eg, Figure 5 Then, the first release film 402 located on one side of the incision is removed to expose a portion of the first adhesive layer 401.

[0085] Step S106, please refer to Figure 6 , remove the remaining first release film 402, and place the first adhesive layer 401 and the second release film 403 in the first inner frame of the cut first positioning frame gasket 30, and make the first adhesive layer part 4011 bonded to the first frame film.

[0087] At this time, only the first adhesive layer portion 4011 remains. In one embodiment, the width of the first adhesive layer portion 4011 is 1.2 mm to 1.5 mm.

[0088] Step S108, please refer to Figure 7 , placing the first gas diffusion layer 50 in the first inner frame of the cut first positioning frame gasket 30 , and bonding the first gas diffusion layer 50 to the first adhesive layer portion 4011 .

[0089] In one embodiment, the size of the first gas diffusion layer 50 may be the same as the size of the first inner frame of the first positioning frame gasket 30 after cutting, so as to improve the positioning accuracy of the first gas diffusion layer 50 .

[0090] In one embodiment, the first gas diffusion layer 50 may also be placed in the first inner frame of the first positioning frame gasket 30 through a positioning device to improve the positioning accuracy of the first gas diffusion layer 50. Specifically, the positioning device is provided with a positioning hole, and the positioning hole of the positioning device is aligned with the second positioning member (i.e., positioning pin) to place the first gas diffusion layer 50 in the first inner frame of the first positioning frame gasket 30.

[0095] like Figure 8 As shown, the second positioning frame gasket 60 after cutting has a second inner frame and a second outer frame.

[0096] It can be understood that after step S109 and before step S110, the five-in-one membrane electrode 10 needs to be turned over to expose the second surface so that the second positioning frame gasket 60 can be placed on the second surface.

[0097] In one embodiment, the material of the second positioning frame gasket 60 may be a hard film material. Specifically, the hard film material is selected from at least one of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PI (polyimide) and PEEK (polyetheretherketone).

[0101] In one embodiment, the second adhesive layer 701 is a double-sided adhesive. In one embodiment, a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) core may be provided inside the double-sided adhesive to increase the hardness of the double-sided adhesive.

[0105] Specifically, the fourth release film 703 and the second adhesive layer 701 are cut along the direction from the third release film 702 to the fourth release film 703 to form an incision (such as Fig.10 ), and then remove the third release film 702 located on one side of the incision to expose a portion of the second adhesive layer 701.

[0106] Step S113, please refer to Fig.11 , remove the remaining third release film 702, and place the second adhesive layer 701 and the fourth release film 703 in the second inner frame of the cut second positioning frame gasket 60, and make the second adhesive layer part 4012 bonded to the second frame film.

[0108] At this time, only the third adhesive layer portion 7011 remains. In one embodiment, the width of the third adhesive layer portion 7011 is 1.2 mm to 1.5 mm.

[0109] Step S115, please refer to Fig.12 , placing the second gas diffusion layer 80 in the second inner frame of the cut second positioning frame gasket 60 , and bonding the second gas diffusion layer 80 to the third adhesive layer portion 7011 .

[0110] In one embodiment, the size of the second gas diffusion layer 80 may be the same as the size of the second inner frame of the second positioning frame gasket 60 after cutting, so as to improve the positioning accuracy of the second gas diffusion layer 80 .

[0111] In one embodiment, the second gas diffusion layer 80 may also be placed in the second inner frame of the second positioning frame gasket 60 through a positioning device to improve the positioning accuracy of the second gas diffusion layer 80. Specifically, the positioning device is provided with a positioning hole, and the positioning hole of the positioning device is aligned with the second positioning member (i.e., positioning pin) to place the second gas diffusion layer 80 in the second inner frame of the second positioning frame gasket 60.

[0134] Specifically, the fourth release film 703 and the second adhesive layer 701 are cut along the direction from the third release film 702 to the fourth release film 703 to form an incision (such as Fig.10 ), and then remove the third release film 702 located on one side of the incision to expose a portion of the second adhesive layer 701.

[0135] Step S210, please refer to Fig.11 , remove the remaining third release film 702, and place the second adhesive layer 701 and the fourth release film 703 in the second inner frame of the cut second positioning frame gasket 60, and bond the second adhesive layer part 4012 to the second frame film by hot pressing.

[0136] Step S211 , removing the second release film 403 , the second adhesive layer portion 4012 , the fourth release film 703 and the fourth adhesive layer portion 7012 .

[0147] The present invention uses solid glue to bond the gas diffusion layer to fix the gas diffusion layer. Compared with the prior art process of using liquid glue to fix, the present invention is simple to operate, has high positioning accuracy, good pasting effect, and low material cost. The present invention only needs to use a small press and a cutting machine.

[0148] In addition, the present invention uses adhesive materials to effectively fix the gas diffusion layer, so that when assembling a single cell test, the consistency is high, reducing the error caused by using the gas diffusion layer to assemble a single cell test separately. In a conventional laboratory environment, the preservation state is better. At the same time, the fixing process of the present invention can replace the hot melt glue dispensing process, which is more convenient and cost-saving in laboratory use scenarios.

[0232] It can be seen from Tables 1 to 16 that the adhesive layer in the seven-in-one membrane electrode prepared in Examples 1 to 3 has high stability at different temperatures and humidities, while the seven-in-one membrane electrode prepared in Comparative Example 1 does not use an adhesive layer. Although the gas diffusion layer can be briefly adhered to the frame membrane after hot pressing, it is easy to separate and fall off at room temperature, and the samples that are not separated are basically in an environment with a high water molecule content, which increases the storage cost.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
