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 numerous renewable energy sources, hydrogen energy has attracted considerable attention due to its green, environmentally friendly, and efficient nature. As a key technology for producing hydrogen, proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) has gradually become a focus of attention.
[0003] Proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEM) water electrolysis technology often uses a binder to bond the electrodes and maintain the structural integrity of the electrode active material. Currently, the mainstream PEM water electrolysis technology uses perfluorosulfonic acid resin (Nafion). In addition to bonding the electrode components, this binder can also enhance the proton conductivity of the membrane electrode and reduce its internal resistance. However, the sulfonate groups contained in Nafion react with the Ir-based material at the membrane electrode operating point, poisoning the electrode material and reducing the number of active sites, which seriously affects the material's performance and stability. Therefore, how to reduce the toxicity of Nafion to the electrode material has become a challenging issue.
[0004] On the other hand, other binders exhibit significantly poorer internal resistance than Nafion. When using binders such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), the high-frequency impedance of the battery is approximately 25% higher than that of batteries made with pure Nafion. This is because polymers such as SBR form an ionomer film on the surface of the proton exchange membrane, hindering the proton exchange process and thus affecting the battery's internal resistance, which in turn reduces battery performance.
[0005] In summary, it is of great significance to research 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
