Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fuel cell stacks, and particularly to a fuel cell catalyst slurry, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] A fuel cell is an efficient energy conversion device that converts fuel (such as hydrogen, natural gas, etc.) and an oxidant (such as oxygen, etc.) into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction. The catalyst plays a crucial role in a fuel cell. It can accelerate the rate of the electrochemical reaction and improve the efficiency of the fuel cell. The performance of the catalyst directly affects the performance and lifespan of the fuel cell. The preparation technology of the catalyst is an important part of the fuel cell technology field. During the preparation process of the catalyst, the dispersibility and stability of the catalyst slurry are key factors affecting the performance of the catalyst. The dispersibility and stability of the catalyst slurry directly affect the microstructure and morphology of the catalyst, and further affect the mass transfer performance and electrochemical performance of the catalyst. The polymer material field also plays an important role in the preparation of the catalyst. An ionomer is a polymer material with ion-conductive properties, and it is widely used in the catalyst of fuel cells. The proton conduction performance and water retention property of the ionomer are key factors affecting the performance of the catalyst.
[0003] The patent with the publication number CN112133928A discloses a stable and high-performance proton exchange membrane fuel cell catalyst slurry and a preparation method thereof. It specifically discloses that by virtue of the characteristic that the proton concentration of the Nafion solution after effective dispersion is large, the electrostatic repulsion of the slurry is increased, making the slurry more stable, thereby improving the performance of the fuel cell; the patent with the publication number CN115939420A discloses a preparation method of a highly stable proton exchange membrane fuel cell catalyst slurry. It specifically discloses that by first mixing and dispersing the catalyst only with water, the large particles of the catalyst can be dispersed smaller without an alcohol solution and a perfluorosulfonic acid polymer, ensuring the stability of the subsequent catalyst slurry; at the same time, during the mixing process of the catalyst and water, and during the mixing process of the alcohol solution and the perfluorosulfonic acid polymer solution, a method of first pre-dispersing and then performing high-speed shearing and re-dispersing is adopted, and the dispersion effect is better, and the catalyst slurry is more stable. Both of the above two patents regulate the feeding sequence and composition of components such as dispersants, binders, and catalysts in the slurry, but both use long-chain branched ionomers to prepare the catalyst slurry. However, long-chain branched ionomers are prone to form aggregates and crystalline states, resulting in a decrease in the dispersibility and stability of the catalyst slurry, thereby affecting the performance of the catalyst.
[0004] When preparing the catalyst slurry, the prior art often ignores the pretreatment of the ionomer and the influence of the ratio with the dispersant on the proton conduction performance and water retention of the ionomer. In addition, when optimizing the microscale structure of the catalyst layer, the prior art often ignores the influence of the coating process parameters on the dispersibility and stability of the catalyst slurry. Therefore, when preparing the catalyst slurry and optimizing the microscale structure of the catalyst layer, the prior art has problems of insufficient dispersibility and stability, which limits the performance and lifespan of the catalyst.
