Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 In this utility model, a multilayer homogeneous microporous proton exchange composite membrane includes a composite membrane body 1, a substrate 2 is provided inside the composite membrane body 1, and a reinforcing layer 3 is provided on the outer surface of the substrate 2. The substrate 2 and the reinforcing layer 3 can improve the performance of the composite membrane, thereby achieving stable support and effective protection for the composite membrane.

[0023] The outer surface of the reinforcing layer 3 is provided with a proton transport layer 4. The proton transport layer 4 is generally made of a material with good proton conductivity. The proton transport layer 4 has the effects of efficient proton conduction, selective permeation and selective permeation, ensuring that the composite membrane has a high proton conductivity, meeting the high efficiency requirements of proton conduction in applications such as fuel cells, and helping to maintain the ion balance and reaction selectivity inside the fuel cell. The proton transport layer 4 can withstand a certain stress to prevent the membrane from cracking or deforming, thereby ensuring the reliability and service life of the composite membrane body 1 in practical applications.

[0024] The outer surface of the proton transport layer 4 is provided with a methanol barrier layer 5, and the outer surface of the methanol barrier layer 5 is provided with an optimization layer 6. The methanol barrier layer 5 can improve the performance and efficiency of the fuel cell and maintain the output voltage and power of the cell, extend the service life of the cell, and further improve the proton conduction performance. The optimization layer 6 may contain some special additives or have a unique microstructure, which can promote proton conduction and enhance the chemical stability of the membrane. The additives in the optimization layer 6 can resist these adverse factors, prevent the degradation and performance decline of the membrane material, and extend the service life of the composite membrane.

[0025] The outer surface of the optimization layer 6 is provided with a protective layer 7 to block particulate impurities. This can effectively prevent external dust, particles and other impurities from entering the interior of the composite membrane, thus avoiding these impurities from clogging the microporous structure of the membrane and affecting the performance of proton transport and other functional layers. This helps to maintain the cleanliness and good operating condition of the composite membrane.

[0026] The outer surface of the composite membrane body 1 is coated with a first coating 8, and the outer surface of the first coating 8 is coated with a second coating 9. As the first layer that comes into contact with the outside world, the first coating 8 can form a good interface bond with the substrate 2. It can fill the small defects and pores on the surface of the substrate 2, making the surface smoother, thereby enhancing the adhesion between the subsequent coatings or other functional layers and the substrate 2, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire composite membrane structure.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] First, the structure composed of substrate 2 and reinforcing layer 3 can serve as a support structure for the composite membrane, providing stable support and effective protection. Then, the combination of proton transport layer 4, methanol barrier layer 5, and optimization layer 6 ensures that the electrochemical reaction can proceed while preventing interference from other substances, thus improving the performance and stability of the fuel cell. Methanol barrier layer 5 prevents methanol molecules from passing through, improving the energy conversion efficiency and stability of the battery. Optimization layer 6 improves the membrane performance and regulates interlayer interactions, thereby enhancing the performance of the composite membrane.
