Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, and particularly relates to a PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production membrane electrode and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The membrane electrode is a core component of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis hydrogen production electrolytic cell, is a reaction site of substances and an important flow channel. In the PEM water electrolysis reaction process, part of the water in the anode catalyst layer on the membrane electrode migrates to the cathode with protons, and the water exists in the cathode catalyst layer in a gaseous or gas-liquid coexisting manner. In the steady-state operation of the electrolytic cell, they must be discharged in time through the catalyst layer, and at the same time, the oxygen generated on the anode side and the hydrogen generated on the cathode side must also be discharged in time through the catalyst layer.
[0003] The ionomer, as the binder of the catalyst layer, mainly functions to immerse into the catalyst layer as a proton conductor, thereby expanding the catalytic reaction interface of the electrode to promote the transmission of protons in the micropores of the catalyst layer. In actual use, the dispersion degree of the ionomer particles in the catalyst layer directly affects the use performance of the membrane electrode.
[0004] The electrode reaction occurs in a three-phase zone where the ionomer, the catalyst and the reactants coexist. When the dispersion degree of the ionomer in the catalyst layer is low, part of the catalyst fails to be in complete contact with the ionomer, the surface of the catalyst has no proton channel and the ion conductivity is poor, so the part of the catalyst does not work, the utilization rate of the catalyst is low, the performance of the membrane electrode is relatively poor, and meanwhile, the poor dispersion degree of the ionomer causes the solid polymer electrolyte layer on the surface of the catalyst to thicken, resulting in that the electrode is hydrophilic and thus the electrode is flooded and inactivated. Moreover, the ionomer that is not completely dispersed is filled in the pores, increasing the resistance of gas and liquid transmission, directly leading to the difficulty in discharging the oxygen on the anode side and the hydrogen and water on the cathode side, and affecting the normal progress of the reaction.
[0005] The patent application with the publication number CN114899416A discloses a fuel cell catalyst layer and a preparation method thereof.

[0055] Test Example 1
[0056] The membrane electrodes prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are assembled into electrolytic cells, and performance tests and durability tests are performed under the same conditions, and the results are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 . The test conditions are as follows: electrolytic cell inlet water temperature 50°C, inlet water flow rate 0.5 L / min, and outlet gas normal pressure.
[0057] From Figure 1From the comparison of the performance test results of the membrane electrode prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that after adding the ionomer dispersion promoter, the performance of the membrane electrode is obviously improved, which is mainly because the promoter promotes the dispersion effect of the ionomer in the catalyst layer, not only increases the effect of the catalyst, but also is beneficial to the discharge of gas and water. In terms of effect, dimethyl sulfoxide > tetrahydrofuran > N-methyl pyrrolidone. From the comparison of the performance test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the effect of mixing the dispersion promoter with the ionomer in advance is not as good as that of mixing all the catalyst slurry together, which may be that the ionomer is excessively dispersed, resulting in a decrease in the proton conduction ability of the ionomer during the subsequent preparation of the membrane electrode. The best use method of the ionomer dispersion promoter is to mix the catalyst, solvent and ionomer uniformly and then spray the catalyst layer.
[0058] From Figure 2 It can be seen that the voltage value of the membrane electrode prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 2 is still very stable after 100h of testing, indicating that the durability test result is good, and the state of the catalyst layer is good. On the contrary, the voltage value of the membrane electrode prepared in Comparative Example 1 shows a gradually increasing trend, indicating that the durability test result is poor, which may be due to the excessive thickness of the dielectric layer, causing gas and liquid accumulation in the catalyst layer, forming a bubble effect, hindering the discharge of gas and liquid, and affecting the performance of the membrane electrode. Therefore, the addition of the dispersion promoter has a gain effect on the durability of the membrane electrode.
