Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of electrochemistry, and relates to a method for modifying a titanium-based porous transport layer by using supercritical fluid technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] A PEM electrolyzer is mainly composed of end plates, bipolar plates, diffusion layers, catalyst layers, proton exchange membranes and gaskets. The anode porous transport layer is mainly in the form of titanium mesh, sintered titanium particle plate, titanium fiber sintered felt and the like. At present, the titanium fiber sintered felt, referred to as titanium felt, is mostly used in the PEM electrolysis water market at home and abroad. The main processing technology includes titanium fiber drawing, pressing and sintering and surface treatment. Most of the fibers used in the titanium fiber felt are prepared by cutting or drawing method. After the titanium fiber felt is prepared, titanium oxide is easily generated in the working process of the electrolysis cell, which increases the resistance of the electrolysis cell and reduces the performance of the electrolysis cell. Therefore, the current titanium-based porous transport layer is mostly further provided with a protective plating layer on the surface thereof by chemical plating or electroplating after the titanium fiber felt is sintered into shape. However, the titanium fiber felt is easily oxidized in the sintering process. If the treatment is not proper in the chemical plating or electroplating process, the bonding force of the plating layer is poor and the plating layer is easily peeled off.

[0003] The supercritical fluid refers to a special state fluid formed when the temperature and pressure thereof are both above the critical point. The supercritical fluid has the advantages of low viscosity, controllable density, large diffusion coefficient, zero surface tension, good flowability and permeability and excellent transfer characteristics. Therefore, the physical properties of the supercritical fluid, such as density, viscosity, dielectric constant and diffusion coefficient, are sensitive to the changes of pressure and temperature. The supercritical fluid deposition generally refers to a high-purity thin film deposition process realized by a chemical reaction route in a supercritical carbon dioxide environment on the surface of a substrate by using a soluble organometallic compound.

[0004] In this process, hydrogen and metal precursors are first diffused and adsorbed to the surface of the substrate, then react on the surface to generate pure metal and hydride ligand, and then the hydride ligand is desorbed from the surface of the substrate and dissolved in the supercritical carbon dioxide solution, and finally the pure metal thin film is left on the surface of the substrate. Compared with ordinary electrochemical deposition, the supercritical fluid deposition process has the characteristics of low surface tension and viscosity and high diffusion coefficient, and the prepared deposition layer has excellent performance. In the modification of fibers, the supercritical fluid deposition process has the characteristics of normal temperature, non-toxicity, environmental protection, safety and convenience in use and high product quality. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a method for modifying a titanium-based porous transport layer by using supercritical fluid technology.

[0012] As a preferred technical scheme of the application, in step S11, the diameter of the titanium fiber is 18-50 μm.

[0013] As a preferred technical scheme of the application, in step S12, wherein the diameter of the water-soluble vinylon fiber is 7-20 μm.

[0014] The method for modifying titanium-based porous transport layer by using supercritical fluid technology comprises the following steps in sequence:

[0015] S51, titanium fibers and water-soluble vinylon fibers are mixed in a mass ratio of 8:2, and are placed in deionized water for ultrasonic dispersion for 3h until evenly dispersed, and then are formed into a sheet by a sheet former to form a titanium fiber felt with a uniform thickness, and the obtained titanium fiber felt has a basis weight of 50-500g / m 2 ;

[0016] S52, the titanium fiber felt obtained in S51 is laminated and pressed, and then is sintered in a 1000℃ vacuum sintering furnace for 4h, and is kept for 2h, and finally is rolled flat, and the prepared titanium fiber felt has a thickness of 0.23-0.90mm;

[0017] S53, the titanium fiber felt in S52 is first cleaned with a methanol solution, and then is immersed in an oxalic acid solution with a mass fraction of 15-20% for 20min, and is repeatedly washed with deionized water until the surface of the titanium fiber felt is neutral, and is dried to obtain a titanium fiber felt substrate to be deposited;

[0018] S54, a precursor of a noble metal is placed in a supercritical device, the titanium fiber felt substrate to be deposited is placed at the bottom of the device, carbon dioxide gas with a flow rate of 220-600mL / min is introduced, the device is heated to 200℃, and is pressurized to 16-18MPa, the noble metal precursor and the carbon dioxide in the device are brought to a critical fluid state, the stirring speed is 100-180r / min, the deposition time is 20-30min, the device is depressurized to 5MPa, hydrogen gas with a flow rate of 500mL / min is introduced at 300℃ for 2h, and a titanium fiber felt with a ruthenium coating is obtained, and the titanium fiber felt has a thickness of 0.25-0.93mm.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S51, the diameter of the titanium fibers is 18-50μm, and the diameter of the water-soluble vinylon fibers is 15-20μm.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S54, the precursor of the noble metal is one or more of ruthenium chloride trihydrate, [bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedioate)(1,5-cyclooctadiene)ruthenium], and acetylacetone iridium.

[0021] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] (1) In the present application, noble metal thin film is prepared on titanium fiber by catalytic reduction of hydrogen gas under the setting temperature, pressure and reaction time, with noble metal compound as precursor and supercritical carbon dioxide as solvent. Compared with traditional heat treatment method, supercritical fluid technology needs lower temperature, which helps to reduce energy consumption and the risk of substrate deformation. At the same time, supercritical fluid does not produce harmful substances during operation, reducing environmental pollution. During the deposition process, due to the different sensitivity of the used precursor to the pressure increase speed, the pressure increase speed is adjusted by adjusting the gas flow of carbon dioxide. In the present application, the gas flow of carbon dioxide is controlled at 220 mL / min when using ruthenium compound. In order to avoid the defects of the plated metal thin film structure caused by too fast temperature rising speed, affecting the quality of the deposited layer, the temperature is controlled at 200℃. After the deposition is completed, hydrogen gas is introduced, which is to reduce metal oxide to obtain pure metal thin film, including the reduction of titanium fiber and the reduction of plated metal.

[0023] (2) In the present application, whether the titanium fiber plated by supercritical fluid technology is sintered first or sintered first and then treated by supercritical fluid, the electrochemical performance of the prepared titanium-based porous transport layer is better, which shows that the advantage of using supercritical fluid technology to obtain noble metal plating is more obvious. Because there is no binding force between the titanium fibers in the wet-formed titanium fiber felt, the titanium fibers are interlaced and overlapped to form a felt, and the felt strength is poor, therefore a small amount of water-soluble vinylon fiber is added to improve the felt strength. The residue of the added water-soluble vinylon fiber can be removed by the vacuum sintering process in the subsequent step, ensuring the purity of the noble metal plating.

[0024] (3) Using supercritical fluid technology to modify titanium fiber can realize uniform and dense deposition of metal on the substrate, so as to obtain high-quality noble metal plating on the surface of titanium fiber, improve the corrosion resistance of titanium fiber, and then lay the modified titanium fiber into a net, then press and flatten, and finally sinter to prepare titanium fiber felt, which can prevent titanium from being oxidized during sintering, reduce the oxygen content of titanium fiber felt, and improve the conductivity of titanium fiber felt. At the same time, the noble metal layer plated on the surface of titanium fiber has catalytic activity, which can reduce the loading of the overall electrolytic cell catalyst. Compared with other methods, the plating layer deposited on the surface of titanium fiber by supercritical fluid technology has more uniform thickness and stronger adhesion, and is not easy to fall off.
