Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology, and more specifically, to a method for testing the ion exchange equivalent of a proton exchange membrane. Background Technology
[0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) typically have an energy conversion efficiency of 40%–60%, making them highly efficient devices. They can directly convert the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions, with water as the only byproduct, making them environmentally friendly. The main function of the proton exchange membrane (PEM) in a PEMFC is to conduct protons and isolate electrons, while also providing support for other components. It is a key component of the PEMFC, and the ion exchange equivalent weight (EW) of the PEM is used to assess its ion conductivity, hydration, mechanical stability, and chemical stability, playing a crucial role in evaluating its performance.
[0003] Currently, the test method for the ion exchange equivalent of proton exchange membranes is usually titration. However, proton exchange membranes are highly compact and require thorough soaking to fully expose the acid radicals, resulting in a long test cycle of at least 8 hours. In addition, since the titration is done manually and the determination of the titration endpoint varies from person to person, the test error is relatively large. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a method for testing the ion exchange equivalent of proton exchange membranes, so as to solve the problems of long testing cycles and large testing errors in the current method for testing the ion exchange equivalent of proton exchange membranes.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for testing the ion exchange equivalent of a proton exchange membrane is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1, the proton exchange membrane to be tested is cut into fragments to obtain the first material;
[0007] S2, insert the support substrate into the U-shaped tube, and then add the first material into the U-shaped tube from the gas inlet end of the U-shaped tube; the location of the support substrate includes the variable diameter section of the U-shaped tube;
[0008] S3, connect the gas outlet end of the U-shaped tube to the sensor in the chemical adsorption instrument, and introduce ammonia or a mixture of ammonia and nitrogen into the U-shaped tube from the gas inlet end of the U-shaped tube to make the first material react with ammonia. Control the reaction temperature ≤90℃, and obtain the ammonia adsorption amount through the chemical adsorption instrument.
[0009] S4, the ion exchange equivalent of the proton exchange membrane is calculated based on the ammonia adsorption capacity;
[0010] In S2, the supporting matrix is used to prevent the first material from being blown away by the gas from the gas outlet end of the U-shaped tube; the porosity of the supporting matrix is 30% to 70%.
[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the supporting substrate is 1cm to 2cm.
[0012] Furthermore, the material supporting the substrate is quartz wool.
[0013] Furthermore, the diameter of the straight section of the U-shaped tube is 0.5cm to 1.5cm; in S1, the size of the fragment is 0.5mm to 5mm.
[0014] Furthermore, the density of quartz wool is 1.2 g / cm³. 3 ~2g / cm 3 .
[0015] Furthermore, the porosity of asbestos is 30%–60%.
[0016] Furthermore, in S2, the amount of the first material added is 0.1g to 0.2g.
[0017] Furthermore, in S3, ammonia or a mixture of ammonia and nitrogen is introduced into the U-tube from the gas inlet end at a flow rate of 50 mL / min to 300 mL / min.
[0018] Furthermore, in S3, the volume ratio of ammonia to nitrogen in the mixture is (70-80):(20-30).
[0019] Furthermore, in S3, the reaction is carried out at 60–90°C.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S3, the chemical adsorption instrument is preheated before the gas is introduced into the U-shaped tube.
[0021] The scheme disclosed in this invention allows for the rapid detection of acid radical content in proton exchange membranes using a chemisorption analyzer. The reaction endpoint can be directly obtained from the chemisorption analyzer without human intervention. Furthermore, this invention limits the testing steps and conditions, significantly improving testing efficiency and shortening the testing cycle while ensuring testing accuracy, thus enabling industrial applications.

[0024] The above figures contain the following reference numerals:

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Where specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall apply. Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.
[0027] As described in the background section of this invention, the current method for testing the ion exchange equivalent of proton exchange membranes is titration. This involves titrating with a sodium hydroxide solution of a certain concentration. Once the solution reaches neutrality, the amount of sodium hydroxide consumed is calculated, and then the acid content in the proton exchange membrane is calculated. However, this method has a long testing cycle and is performed manually, which introduces significant human error. The titration endpoint is determined by whether phenolphthalein changes color, which varies from person to person and leads to considerable error.
[0028] To address the aforementioned technical problems, in a typical embodiment of the present invention, a method for testing the ion exchange equivalent of a proton exchange membrane is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0029] S1, the proton exchange membrane to be tested is cut into fragments to obtain the first material;
[0030] S2, insert the support substrate into the U-shaped tube, and then add the first material into the U-shaped tube from the gas inlet end of the U-shaped tube; the location of the support substrate includes the variable diameter section of the U-shaped tube;
[0031] S3, connect the gas outlet end of the U-shaped tube to the sensor in the chemical adsorption instrument, and introduce ammonia or a mixture of ammonia and nitrogen into the U-shaped tube from the gas inlet end of the U-shaped tube to make the first material react with ammonia. Control the reaction temperature ≤90℃, and obtain the ammonia adsorption amount through the chemical adsorption instrument.
[0032] S4, the ion exchange equivalent of the proton exchange membrane is calculated based on the ammonia adsorption capacity;
[0033] In S2, the supporting matrix is used to prevent the first material from being blown away by the gas from the gas outlet end of the U-shaped tube; the porosity of the supporting matrix is 30% to 60%.
[0034] Porosity of a material refers to the percentage of the volume of pores within the material to the total volume of the material, denoted by P. Porosity determination is based on Archimedes' principle. In this experiment, the porosity of quartz wool was determined using the boiling water method. First, the dry weight of the test sample was weighed and recorded as m0. The weighed sample was placed in a clean beaker, and distilled water was poured into the beaker until the sample was submerged. The beaker was then heated to boiling on an electric stove and maintained at boiling for 2 hours to allow the distilled water to completely penetrate the pores in the quartz wool. Heating was then stopped, and the sample was allowed to cool to room temperature. The sample was then quickly removed and placed in a pre-prepared weighing basket, which was hung on the hook of a balance, allowing the sample to remain submerged in water. The suspended weight of the saturated sample in water was weighed and recorded as m1. The saturated sample was removed, and the water on its surface was carefully wiped away with a damp cloth. The mass of the saturated sample was quickly weighed and recorded as m2. The porosity P of the electrode was calculated using the following formula:
[0035] P = (m2 - m0) / (m2 - m1).
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the "U-shaped tube" of this invention has a "straight section" and a "variable diameter section." In the description of this invention, the "straight section" has no corners, while the "variable diameter section" is located at a corner, where the diameter of the tube changes. Placing the support substrate in the variable diameter section increases the resistance to movement of the support substrate within the tube, reducing the risk of the first material being blown out of the U-shaped tube by gas. Cutting the proton exchange membrane into fragments facilitates material feeding and prevents the proton exchange membrane from getting stuck in the U-shaped tube, affecting gas flow. After the first material is added to the U-shaped tube, it rests against the support substrate under the action of the gas, which helps the acid radical ions in the proton exchange membrane to fully react with ammonia. Furthermore, controlling the porosity of the support substrate allows the gas to pass smoothly through the support substrate and flow out from the gas outlet end of the U-shaped tube, avoiding any impact on the accuracy and testing cycle of the proton exchange membrane ion exchange equivalent. Controlling the reaction temperature ensures that the proton exchange membrane is in a stable state, avoiding interference with the reaction between acid radical ions and ammonia. This invention is the first to use a chemisorption analyzer to test the ion exchange equivalent of a proton exchange membrane. By limiting the test steps and conditions, the test cycle for ion exchange equivalent can be significantly reduced, and the test efficiency can be improved. In addition, the test process and the determination of the test endpoint are executed by machine and are not affected by human intervention, so the error is small and the test accuracy is high.
[0037] In some implementations, the thickness of the supporting substrate is 1cm to 2cm.
[0038] In the description of this invention, the thickness direction of the supporting substrate is parallel to or perpendicular to the gas flow direction.
[0039] In some embodiments, the substrate material is quartz wool. Quartz wool has a certain porosity, is easy to process into a substrate with the required dimensions and performance parameters, and has good temperature resistance and a wide operating temperature range.
[0040] In some embodiments, in S1, the size of the fragment is 0.5 mm to 5 mm.
[0041] Controlling the size of the fragments within the aforementioned range serves two purposes: firstly, to ensure that all fragments can rest against the support substrate within the U-tube, allowing for a full reaction between the acid radicals in the proton exchange membrane and ammonia; and secondly, to increase the contact area between ammonia and the proton exchange membrane fragments, thereby improving reaction efficiency and shortening the testing cycle.
[0042] In some embodiments, the density of the quartz wool is 1.2 g / cm³. 3 ~2g / cm 3 The porosity of quartz wool is 30% to 60%.
[0043] Controlling the density and porosity of quartz wool within the above-mentioned range helps to further improve testing efficiency and accuracy.
[0044] In some implementations, the diameter of the straight section of the U-shaped pipe is 0.5cm to 1.5cm.
[0045] Controlling the diameter of the straight section of the U-tube is to match it with the supporting substrate. This allows the gas to flow smoothly inside the tube and keeps the supporting substrate structurally stable, thus improving testing accuracy.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the support substrate is located in the U-shaped tube near the gas outlet end. This limitation on the location of the support substrate is intended to further improve the structural stability of the support substrate in the U-shaped tube, increase the reaction rate between the first material and ammonia, and shorten the testing cycle.
[0047] In some embodiments, in S2, the amount of the first material added is 0.1g to 0.2g.
[0048] Controlling the amount of the first material added is to ensure that the gas in the U-tube can flow smoothly, and at the same time, the acid radical ions in the proton exchange membrane can react quickly with ammonia, thereby improving the testing efficiency.
[0049] In some embodiments, in S3, ammonia or a mixture of ammonia and nitrogen is introduced into the U-tube from the gas inlet end of the U-tube at a flow rate of 50 mL / min to 300 mL / min.
[0050] Controlling the gas flow rate is to ensure that the acid radicals can be completely replaced, while maintaining high accuracy in ion exchange equivalent testing.
[0051] In some embodiments, in S3, the volume ratio of ammonia to nitrogen in the mixture is (70-80):(20-30).
[0052] In this invention, ammonia is used as the reactant gas and nitrogen is used as the carrier gas. Nitrogen can dilute ammonia and improve the accuracy of the test. In addition, controlling the volume ratio of the two can also improve the reaction efficiency.
[0053] In some embodiments, in step S3, the reaction is carried out at 60–90°C. Controlling the reaction temperature helps to further improve reaction efficiency and shorten the reaction cycle.
[0054] When testing under heating conditions, the thermocouple can be placed in the U-tube near the first material (the thermocouple does not contact the first material or the U-tube).
[0055] In some embodiments, in step S3, the chemisorption apparatus is preheated before the gas is introduced into the U-tube.
[0056] Preheating includes equipment self-checks, such as checking whether each valve and sensor is operating normally and whether the gas pressure is up to standard, to bring the equipment into optimal condition. Preheating can be carried out at room temperature.
[0057] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed in the present application.
