Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular to a fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer and the preparation and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] The electrochemical reaction of fuel cells accounts for about 50% of the total heat, which means that a large amount of waste heat is generated during operation, causing the temperature inside the battery to rise. When the temperature exceeds the typical operating temperature window, it will affect the water content of the membrane, reduce proton conductivity, increase overpotential, and reduce performance. Therefore, effective thermal management of fuel cells is required, and high thermal conductivity materials play a vital role in maintaining temperature balance and stability. The gas diffusion layer is a key component for conducting heat out of the membrane and catalyst layer, but the through-plane thermal conductivity of the gas diffusion layer is much smaller than the in-plane thermal conductivity, which exacerbates the temperature accumulation.
[0003] Patent CN111162285A discloses a conductive gas diffusion layer for a fuel cell, which mainly includes two parts: the base layer is mainly one of a carbon fiber layer, a carbon fiber woven cloth and a carbon black paper, and the microporous layer is mainly composed of carbon black and a hydrophobic agent. Since the heat transfer process does not currently directly affect the performance of the fuel cell, the current technology does not focus on the thermal conductivity of the gas diffusion layer, but mainly focuses on gas transmission and water management, and mainly works on the construction of the gas diffusion layer layered structure and the pore structure design. In the future, the power density of fuel cells is steadily increasing, and the heat dissipation problem will become more and more prominent. The low through-plane thermal conductivity of the gas diffusion layer will become a key bottleneck problem.
[0004] Therefore, it is still very important to provide a technical solution that can solve the problem of low thermal conductivity of the gas diffusion layer. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer and its preparation and application. The present invention directly uses a commercial gas diffusion layer as a substrate, uses a high thermal conductivity material represented by carbon nanotubes as a filler (commercial gas diffusion layer and filler are matched), and forms a fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer simply by impregnation and then drying.
[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0007] The first object of the present invention is to provide a fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer, wherein the fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer is obtained by immersing a substrate in a filler solution.
[0008] The substrate is a commercial gas diffusion layer and the filler is a high thermal conductivity material.
[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the commercial gas diffusion layer is selected from TORAY TGL-R-060 gas diffusion layer, SGL (SGL) A gas diffusion layer, one of the following: AvCarb H14CX483 gas diffusion layer from the United States, JNTGHCP120 gas diffusion layer from South Korea, or a non-woven fabric-based gas diffusion layer from Freudenberg;
[0010] The high thermal conductivity material is selected from one of carbon nanotubes, graphene, acetylene black or carbon fiber.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the commercial gas diffusion layer is TORAY TGL-R-060 gas diffusion layer, and the high thermal conductivity material is carbon nanotubes.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the carbon nanotubes are single-walled carbon nanotubes or multi-walled carbon nanotubes;
[0013] Preferably, the carbon nanotubes are multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and the inner diameter of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes is less than 8 nm and the length is 10 to 30 μm.
[0014] A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer, comprising the following steps:
[0015] (S1) dissolving the filler and the hydrophobic agent and mixing them to obtain a hydrophobic agent-filler solution;
[0016] (S2) Immersing the pretreated substrate in the hydrophobic agent-filler solution prepared in step (S1), and obtaining a fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer after post-treatment.
[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step (S1), the hydrophobic agent is a fluoride;
[0018] In the hydrophobic agent-filler solution, one or more of pure water, ethanol, acetone or isopropanol is used as solvent; the concentration of the hydrophobic agent is 1-15wt%, and the concentration of the filler is 0.1-0.8wt%.
[0019] Preferably, in the hydrophobic agent-filler solution, the concentration of the hydrophobic agent is 10 wt %, and the concentration of the filler is 0.8 wt %.
[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step (S2), the pretreated substrate is obtained by the following method:
[0021] The substrate is cleaned with acid and then dried to obtain a pretreated substrate.
[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, the acid is selected from one of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid or nitric acid;
[0023] During the drying process, the temperature is 60-100°C.
[0024] Preferably, during the drying process, the temperature is 100°C.
[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step (S2), the impregnation is selected from one of atmospheric pressure impregnation, vacuum impregnation or ultrasonic impregnation;
[0026] During the immersion process, the time is 1h to 24h;
[0027] Preferably, during the dipping process, the time is 1 hour;
[0028] The post-treatment is a step-by-step temperature drying treatment; the step-by-step temperature drying treatment has the following advantages: 1) promoting uniform drying and avoiding stress concentration and material damage caused by sudden temperature changes; 2) gradually removing the solvent or moisture from the inside of the material, which helps to maintain or improve the mechanical strength and stability of the material and ensure its stability during the operation of the fuel cell; 3) helping to fix the hydrophobic agent, thereby improving the hydrophobic performance, promoting water transfer, and preventing the fuel cell from being flooded during operation.
[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step-by-step drying includes a first drying process and a second drying process;
[0030] During the first drying process, the temperature is 80-120°C and the time is 20 minutes to 1 hour;
[0031] Preferably, during the first drying process, the temperature is 100° C. and the time is 30 min;
[0032] During the second drying process, the temperature is 340-380°C and the time is 20min-1h;
[0033] Preferably, during the second drying process, the temperature is 340° C. and the time is 1 hour.
[0034] The third object of the present invention is to provide an application of a fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer in the preparation of a high power density fuel cell.
[0035] In the present invention, the thermal conductivity and hydrophobicity of the fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer are enhanced by combining the gas diffusion layer (substrate) with the high thermal conductivity material (filler); specifically, the high thermal conductivity material usually has a high thermal conductivity. When it is impregnated into the gas diffusion layer, a better heat conduction path can be formed, so that heat can be more effectively transferred from the heat source to the cooling medium, thereby improving the overall thermal conductivity; the treatment of step-by-step heating and drying after impregnation can help the high thermal conductivity material to be evenly distributed in the microporous structure of the gas diffusion layer, making the pores more uniform, which not only increases the contact area between the high thermal conductivity material and the gas diffusion layer material, but also improves the heat conduction efficiency; impregnation forms a stronger interface bond between the filler and the gas diffusion layer material, reduces the interface thermal resistance, and helps to transfer heat more efficiently; in addition, the high thermal conductivity material used in the present invention has a certain hydrophobicity. When it is impregnated into the gas diffusion layer, a hydrophobic layer will be formed on the surface of the material; and the impregnated high thermal conductivity material can serve as a good carrier of the hydrophobic agent, helping the hydrophobic agent to be evenly distributed in the gas diffusion layer and maintain stability, thereby maintaining the hydrophobic performance for a long time.
[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0037] (1) In the preparation process of the fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer provided by the present invention, less raw materials are used, the raw materials are easily available and the cost of the raw materials is low;
[0038] (2) In the preparation process of the composite gas diffusion layer for fuel cells provided by the present invention, the preparation method is simple, relying on the combination of the gas diffusion layer and the high thermal conductivity material, and can be achieved only by step-by-step temperature rising and drying treatment after impregnation;
[0039] (3) Compared with commercial gas diffusion layers, the thermal conductivity of the fuel cell composite gas diffusion layer provided by the present invention is significantly improved, and the hydrophobicity is also significantly improved. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
