Description

Technical Field

Background Technology

[0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are crucial for my country's energy structure transformation, and improving their power density is key to achieving high-efficiency hydrogen utilization. Porous carbon supports, due to their unique pore structure, show great potential for increasing battery power density. For example, Toyota's second-generation fuel cell achieved 5.4 kW / L (2.2 A / cm³) by optimizing the pore structure of the carbon support. -2 While achieving a breakthrough in output voltage drop at high current densities (@0.66V), it still faces the common challenge of a sharp drop in output voltage at high current densities.

[0003] Concentration polarization is the main reason for the sharp drop in battery power density at high current densities, with local oxygen transport polarization accounting for about half of the cathode concentration polarization. Currently, there are many experimental measurements of local oxygen transport resistance in solid carbon-supported fuel cells. However, experimental measurement methods for the local oxygen transport process in porous carbon-supported fuel cells remain insufficient, especially the experimental measurement of oxygen transport resistance within the pores of porous carbon supports. This makes it difficult to elucidate the key influencing factors of local oxygen transport in porous carbon-supported fuel cells and their impact mechanisms on battery performance.

Figure 2 As shown, its aperture distribution was measured, and the results were obtained as follows. Figure 3 The pore size distribution diagram is shown. Based on the pore size distribution of Pt / C, a 2nm diameter organic molecule, tetraphenylporphyrin (hereinafter referred to as TPP), was selected as molecular probe one to fill the pores in Pt / C with a pore diameter of about 2nm.

[0056] Step 2: Add 1.3g of TPP to 1.5mL of ethanol-chloroform solvent to form a mixed solution, wherein the volume ratio of ethanol to chloroform is 1:2. Then add 10mg of Pt / C to the mixed solution to form a catalyst solution. Sonicate the catalyst solution for 2 hours, then let it stand at 50℃ for 10 hours. Remove free TPP by centrifugation, and vacuum dry at 50℃ for 2 hours to obtain Pt / C with TPP adsorbed in the pores and on the surface (hereinafter referred to as Pt / C-TPP). Its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, its aperture distribution diagram is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0057] Step 3: Select organic polyaromatic hydrocarbons (hereinafter referred to as PAHs) with a diameter of 6-8 nm as molecular probe 2. Add PAHs to 1.5 mL of ethanol-chloroform solvent to form a mixed solution, wherein the volume ratio of ethanol to chloroform solvent is ethanol:chloroform = 1:2. Then add 10 mg of Pt / C to the mixed solution to form a catalyst solution. Sonicate the catalyst solution for 2 h, then let it stand at 50 °C for 10 h, then remove the free PAHs by centrifugation, and vacuum dry at 50 °C to obtain Pt / C with PAHs adsorbed on the surface (hereinafter referred to as Pt / C-PAHs).

Repeat the above steps with Pt / C to prepare the anode catalyst slurry. Use ultrasonic spraying to spray the cathode and anode catalyst slurries onto the cathode and anode sides of the proton exchange membrane, respectively, to form the cathode and anode catalyst layers. Then, attach carbon paper to the outer surfaces of the cathode and anode catalyst layers to complete the preparation. Figure 6 The membrane electrode 1 is shown; then the membrane electrode 2 is prepared. Compared with the preparation method of the membrane electrode 1, the only difference is that Pt / C-TPP is replaced with Pt / C-PAH. The other steps and conditions are kept the same, and finally the membrane electrode 2 is obtained.

[0067] Step 5: Test the limiting current density I of membrane electrode 2 and membrane electrode 1 using a fuel cell single-cell test platform. lim The humidity was 80%, and a mixture of 0.5% oxygen / nitrogen gas was passed through the cathode while hydrogen gas was introduced at the anode; then, linear sweep voltammetry was used at 2 mV / s. -1 The scan rate was adjusted, and the membrane electrode current density was measured within a voltage range of 0.6V-0.15V to obtain the following results: Figure 7 The limiting current density curve shown is given, where the maximum current density is I. lim To calculate the local oxygen transport resistance, I was measured at four temperatures (338 K, 343 K, 348 K, and 353 K) under four different operating pressures (100 kPa, 140 kPa, 180 kPa, and 220 kPa). lim The cathode gas flow rate was set to 3.78 NL min. -1Meanwhile, the anode gas flow rate was maintained at 0.5 NL min. -1 ; through I lim Calculate the total oxygen transport resistance R from the cathode channel inlet through the gas diffusion layer to the surface of the platinum particles in the cathode catalyst layer. total Its calculation formula includes:
