Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-temperature alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production, and in particular to a NiO / YSZ composite electrolyte membrane material immersed in an alkaline solution at high temperature, an alkaline fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Although alkaline electrolysis of water is the most established and widely commercialized method for producing hydrogen through the water splitting process, it still faces challenges that limit its performance, efficiency and sustainability. New developments aim to overcome these shortcomings, increase current density, reduce electrolyte corrosivity, minimize gas permeation and improve dynamic response. Current density is the amount of electric current flowing through a unit area of the electrode surface and is related to the hydrogen production rate, affecting the performance and efficiency of the alkaline electrolyzer. The current density of alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) is affected by various factors, including temperature, pressure, voltage, electrolyte concentration, catalyst efficiency and membrane properties. Typically, the current density values of alkaline electrolyzers range from 100 to 500 mA / cm at temperatures of 60-80°C and voltages of 1.8-2.4 V. 2 However, increasing the temperature, pressure or voltage can achieve even higher current density values. High-temperature alkaline electrolysis of water vapor to produce hydrogen can effectively solve this shortcoming of low electrolysis efficiency.
[0003] H2O→H2+1 / 2O2
[0004] ΔH=ΔG+ΔQ
[0005]
[0006] The theoretical energy required for hydrogen production by electrolysis of water is shown in the above formula. It can be seen that in the temperature range of 0 to 1000 ° C, the ΔH required for water electrolysis (including the vaporization enthalpy ΔH vap ) basically fluctuates within the range of 283-292 kJ / mol and can be provided entirely by electrical energy or by both electrical energy and thermal energy. At the same time, the required electrical energy can be expressed by the Gibbs free energy ΔG, which is related to the theoretical decomposition voltage ΔE rev When steam is used instead of liquid water, the ΔH required for water electrolysis is reduced by 41 kJ / mol H2. When the temperature increases, the total energy ΔH remains unchanged, the proportion of ΔQ increases, and ΔG decreases accordingly. At the same time, the theoretical decomposition voltage of water ΔE rev It also decreases with decreasing ΔG, meaning that increasing temperature can reduce electrical energy consumption. This is why high-temperature alkaline electrolysis of water vapor can improve electrolysis efficiency. The following table compares existing electrolytic hydrogen production methods.
[0007]
[0008] Ceramics exhibit excellent chemical and thermal stability at high temperatures. They are not susceptible to decomposition or phase change, which is crucial for continuous water electrolysis hydrogen production systems operating under high-temperature conditions. Ceramics also exhibit excellent corrosion resistance in high-temperature alkaline environments. They are not easily corroded by alkaline substances in the electrolyte, thereby extending the life of the diaphragm. However, existing solid oxide electrolytic cells remain at a theoretical stage, and a low-cost, pollution-free, and simple preparation method is urgently needed to promote their widespread application. Summary of the Invention

[0013] After ball milling and drying the slurry to remove air, the slurry is cast into a NiO / YSZ film material in a mold;
[0014] The NiO / YSZ porous membrane material is prepared by sintering the cast NiO / YSZ membrane material at a high temperature;
[0015] Obtain an alkaline solution;
[0016] immersing the prepared porous membrane material in an alkaline solution at a preset high temperature;
[0017] The impregnation is repeated for a certain number of times, and vacuum drying is performed after the impregnation is completed to obtain a NiO / YSZ composite electrolyte membrane material.
[0018] Furthermore, the slurry is calculated by mass ratio, and the proportions of zirconium oxide powder or yttria-stabilized zirconium oxide powder, nickel oxide, pore-forming agent, dispersant, and binder are 34.9-38.8%, 11.6-19.4%, 14.1-17.4%, 1.7-2.4%, 4.7-5.8%, and the rest is water.
[0019] Furthermore, the specific steps of preparing the slurry are: preparing the slurry by mixing nickel oxide and zirconium oxide powder or yttria-stabilized zirconium oxide powder with a pore-forming agent in distilled water and a dispersant, stirring the mixture for a period of time, adding a binder to the slurry, and then stirring for another 9 to 12 hours.

The temperature is maintained at 1300~1600℃ for 4±0.5h, and finally the temperature is reduced to room temperature at 1~2℃ / min.
[0022] Furthermore, the sintered NiO / YSZ film is immersed in an alkaline solution at 150-200° C. for 4-6 hours.
[0023] Furthermore, the molar ratio of nickel oxide, yttria-stabilized zirconia, and alkaline material is used to calculate the content of the alkaline material in the composite material based on the actual weighed mass.
[0024] In a second aspect, the present invention claims protection for a NiO / YSZ composite electrolyte membrane immersed in an alkaline solution at a high temperature prepared based on the above method.
[0025] In a third aspect, the present invention also discloses a method for preparing an alkaline fuel cell, which comprises preparing a NiO / YSZ composite electrolyte membrane immersed in an alkaline solution at a high temperature based on the above method, laminating a Pt / C sheet with the immersed composite electrolyte membrane, and maintaining a constant temperature and pressure at 80±5°C and 15±1 MPa for 30±5 minutes to prepare an alkaline fuel cell.
