Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the water electrolysis hydrogen production industry, the proton exchange membrane is the core component of PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production, and the proton exchange membrane is generally composed of a substrate mesh and a perfluorosulfonic acid resin coated on the surface of the substrate mesh. The main technical requirements for the proton exchange membrane currently include: good proton conductivity, small electroosmotic effect of water molecules in the membrane, as small as possible permeability of gas in the membrane, good electrochemical stability, good dry-wet conversion performance, high mechanical strength, etc.

[0003] As an important component of the proton exchange membrane, the mechanical strength and thickness of the substrate mesh directly affect the mechanical strength and thickness of the proton exchange membrane. The substrate mesh is woven from PEEK fibers, and therefore the fiber form and fineness of the PEEK fibers determine the mechanical strength and thickness of the substrate mesh and the proton exchange membrane.

[0004] Currently, the spinning cross-sectional shape of the spinning hole of the traditional spinneret plate is circular, resulting in the cross-sectional shape of the PEEK fibers produced being also circular. Such PEEK fibers with a circular spinning cross-section have a smooth surface, and after the substrate mesh is produced, the friction between the warp and weft fibers of the substrate mesh is relatively small, causing the mechanical strength of the substrate mesh to be low, which leads to the substrate mesh being prone to damage or deformation during use, affecting the stable operation of the PEM electrolytic cell.

[0010] Further, the three-leaf PEEK monofilament spinneret as claimed in the preceding, wherein: in the cross-sectional shape of the spinning micro-hole, the short side of each leaf is a circular-arc short side protruding away from the center of the spinning micro-hole.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the three-lobed PEEK monofilament spinneret comprises a spinneret body 1 and a plurality of spinneret holes provided on the spinneret body 1, wherein the spinneret holes are composed of a guide hole 2 and a spinneret microhole 3 having the same central axis m. The cross-sectional shape of the spinneret microhole 3 is specifically as follows: it comprises three leaves 31 of the same shape, the three leaves 31 are uniformly distributed circumferentially around the central axis m of the spinneret hole, each leaf 31 is composed of two long sides 311 and one short side 312, and the end of each long side 311 away from the central axis m of the spinneret hole is defined as the outer end of the long side, and the end close to the central axis m of the spinneret hole is defined as the inner end of the long side.

[0025] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, in the cross-sectional shape of the spinneret microhole 3, the short side 312 of each lobe 31 is an arc-shaped short side convex in the direction away from the center a of the spinneret microhole, and the diameter of the circle in which the arc-shaped short side is located is the distance between the two long sides 311 of the lobe; in the cross-sectional shape of the spinneret microhole 3, the center a of the spinneret microhole is the intersection of the cross-sectional shape and the central axis m of the spinneret microhole; in this embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape of the spinneret microhole 3, the vertices b of the arc-shaped short sides of the three lobe 31 are located on the same dividing circle c with the center a of the spinneret microhole as the center; in this embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape of the spinneret microhole 3, the two long sides 311 of each lobe 31 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the straight line d passing through the vertices b of the arc-shaped short sides 312 of the lobe and the center a of the spinneret microhole; the cross-sectional shape design of the above-mentioned spinneret microhole can further improve the stability of the produced PEEK monofilament;

[0026] In this embodiment, the aspect ratio of the spinneret micropore 3 is 8 to 10, and the length in the aspect ratio of the spinneret micropore 3 is the height of the spinneret micropore. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, X is the length in the aspect ratio of the spinneret microhole; the diameter in the aspect ratio of the spinneret microhole 3 is the diameter of the circle with the center a of the spinneret microhole as the center and the distance between the vertex b of the short side of the arc of any leaf in the spinneret microhole and the center a of the spinneret microhole as the radius, as shown in the figure. Figure 4As shown in the figure, Y is the diameter in the length-diameter ratio of the spinning micro-hole; in this embodiment, Y=2R; in the cross-sectional shape of the spinning micro-hole 3, the distance R between the vertex b of the circular arc short side 312 of each leaf 31 in the spinning micro-hole 3 and the center a of the spinning micro-hole is 0.2-0.6 mm, and the distance h between the two long sides 311 of each leaf 31 in the spinning micro-hole 3 is 0.05-0.15 mm; such a spinning micro-hole size design can greatly reduce the fiber diameter of the PEEK monofilament sprayed from the spinning micro-hole, and the fiber diameter can be less than 25 μm; the base mesh fabric made of the PEEK monofilament with such a small fiber diameter is thinner, and thus the proton exchange membrane made of the PEEK monofilament is also thinner; the reduction of the thickness of the proton exchange membrane can improve the proton conductivity, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production;

Figure 2

[0028] The utility model discloses still a kind of three-lobed PEEK monofilament, which is prepared from the three-lobed PEEK monofilament spinneret, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 ​As shown, the trilobal PEEK monofilament includes a monofilament body 4 located in the center, and three identical leaves 5 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the monofilament body 4. The monofilament body 4 and the three leaves 5 are integrally formed. In the cross-sectional shape of the monofilament, the outer contour of each leaf 5 includes: two long sides 51 and one short side 52. The long side end away from the monofilament body 4 at both ends of each long side 51 is defined as the long side outer end, and the long side end close to the monofilament body 4 is defined as the long side inner end. The long side inner ends of the two long sides 51 are connected to the monofilament body 4, and the long side outer ends of the two long sides 51 are connected through the short side 52. In the cross-sectional shape of the monofilament, the short side 52 of each leaf 5 is an arc convex in the direction away from the center e of the monofilament body, and the arc-shaped short sides 52 of the three leaves 5 are The vertex f is located on the same pitch circle g with the center e of the monofilament body as the center; the two long sides 51 of each lobe 5 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the straight line k passing through the vertex f of the arc-shaped short side 52 of the lobe and the center e of the monofilament body; the distance L between the vertex f of the arc-shaped short side 52 of each lobe 5 and the center e of the monofilament body is 0.2~0.6mm, and the distance n between the two long sides 51 of each lobe 5 is 0.05~0.15mm; after this trilobal PEEK monofilament is woven into a base mesh, it can increase the friction between the warp and weft fibers of the base mesh, thereby enhancing the mechanical strength of the base mesh and the proton exchange membrane, preventing the base mesh and the proton exchange membrane from being damaged and deformed during use, and ensuring the stable operation of the PEM electrolyzer.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) the cross section of the spinneret micropores is trilobal, and the PEEK monofilaments produced also have a trilobal shape. After being woven into a base mesh, the trilobal PEEK monofilaments can increase the friction between the warp and weft fibers of the base mesh, thereby enhancing the mechanical strength of the base mesh and the proton exchange membrane, preventing the base mesh and the proton exchange membrane from being damaged and deformed during use, and ensuring the stable operation of the PEM electrolyzer; (2) by designing the radial ratio of the spinneret micropores of the spinning plate and the size of each leaf in the spinneret micropores, the fiber diameter of the PEEK monofilaments ejected from the spinneret micropores can be greatly reduced, and the fiber diameter can be reduced. The diameter of the PEEK monofilament is less than 25 μm. The thickness of the base mesh made of PEEK monofilament with a smaller fiber diameter will be thinner, and the proton exchange membrane made will also be thinner. The reduction in the thickness of the proton exchange membrane will increase the proton conductivity, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of PEM water electrolysis to produce hydrogen; (3) The cross-sectional shape of the PEEK monofilament is designed to be trilobal. After the trilobal PEEK monofilament is woven into the base mesh, it can increase the friction between the warp and weft fibers of the base mesh, thereby enhancing the mechanical strength of the base mesh and the proton exchange membrane, preventing the base mesh and the proton exchange membrane from being damaged and deformed during use, and ensuring the stable operation of the PEM electrolyzer.

[0030] The above merely is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not any other form of limitation to the present application, and any modification or equivalent change according to the technical essence of the present application still belongs to the range required to be protected by the present application.
