Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of membrane electrodes, and in particular to a membrane electrode and a preparation method thereof, and an electrolytic cell for proton exchange membrane water electrolysis. Background Art
[0002] Among many renewable energy sources, hydrogen energy has attracted much attention due to its green, environmentally friendly and high efficiency. As a key technology for producing hydrogen energy, proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) technology has gradually become the focus of attention.
[0003] Binders are often used in proton exchange membrane water electrolysis technology. Using them to bond electrodes can maintain the structural integrity of the electrode active material. At present, the mainstream binder used in proton exchange membrane water electrolysis technology is perfluorosulfonic acid resin (Nafion). On the basis of bonding electrode components, it can also enhance the proton conductivity of the membrane electrode and reduce the internal resistance of the membrane electrode. However, the sulfonate contained in Nafion will react with the Ir-based material at the membrane electrode working point, resulting in poisoning of the electrode material, reducing the active sites, and thus seriously affecting the performance and stability of the material. Therefore, how to reduce the poisoning of Nafion to electrode materials has become a challenging topic.
[0004] On the other hand, compared with Nafion, other binders have significantly worse internal resistance performance. When using binders such as styrene-butadiene rubber, the high-frequency impedance of the battery is about 25% higher than that of batteries made of pure Nafion. This is because polymers such as styrene-butadiene rubber form an ionomer membrane on the surface of the proton exchange membrane, which hinders the proton exchange process, thereby affecting the internal resistance of the battery and reducing the performance of the battery.
[0005] In summary, it is of great significance to study and develop a membrane electrode with a structure of multiple binders to overcome the above-mentioned problems such as poisoning and performance degradation. Summary of the invention
