Description

Proton exchange membrane containing hydrogen blocking coating, preparation method thereof, membrane electrode and water electrolysis hydrogen production device TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water electrolysis hydrogen production, in particular to a proton exchange membrane containing hydrogen blocking coating, a preparation method of the proton exchange membrane containing hydrogen blocking coating and a membrane electrode comprising the proton exchange membrane containing hydrogen blocking coating. BACKGROUND

[0002] Water electrolysis hydrogen production technology based on proton exchange membrane has broad development potential and has begun to enter the demonstration operation stage. Membrane electrode is an important part of PEM (polyelectrolyte membrane) water electrolysis hydrogen production device, which includes proton exchange membrane, anode catalyst layer on the anode side of the proton exchange membrane and cathode catalyst layer on the cathode side of the proton exchange membrane. On the cathode side of the proton exchange membrane, hydrogen protons obtain electrons to generate hydrogen. On the anode side of the proton exchange membrane, water loses electrons to obtain oxygen and protons. The overall reaction is the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen, so that the anode side of the proton exchange membrane has oxygen and the cathode side has hydrogen.

[0003] Commonly used proton exchange membranes include Nafion117, Nafion115 or Nafion212 membranes with thicknesses of 178 μm, 127 μm or 51 μm respectively. Although thinner membranes can reduce voltage loss due to internal resistance of the membrane, thereby reducing electrolytic cell voltage and improving electrolysis efficiency, thinner Nafion membranes increase gas permeability, and in a high-pressure working environment, hydrogen produced in the cathode will penetrate through the membrane to the anode side, resulting in a small amount of hydrogen mixed in the oxygen. Generally, the oxygen purity at the anode outlet of the core of the proton exchange membrane water electrolysis hydrogen production device is between 99% and 99.5% (current density is 1 A / cm 2 , 80℃, normal pressure). However, if the water electrolysis hydrogen production device is operated under pressure, as the pressure of the gas products of the water electrolysis hydrogen production device increases, the gas permeability in the proton exchange membrane will also increase, resulting in further reduction of oxygen product purity and increase of hydrogen content of the water electrolysis hydrogen production device, which may even cause safety problems.

[0004] Currently, methods for reducing hydrogen in oxygen on the anode side of the membrane electrode include adding inorganic proton conductors to ion exchange membranes to block the diffusion and penetration of gas, but this method has a complex preparation process and can damage the structure of the ion exchange membrane. Methods for reducing hydrogen in oxygen on the anode side of the membrane electrode also include synthesizing composite membrane materials from polyether ketone with lower gas permeability and ordinary ion exchange membranes, but the polyether ketone material used has the problem of insufficient chemical stability.

[0005] Therefore, there is a continuous need in the art to develop a proton exchange membrane containing hydrogen blocking coating with high hydrogen blocking efficiency and chemical stability.

A numerical range includes all values from and including the lower and to and including the upper range limits. For ranges containing values that are less than one or containing fractional numbers more precise than 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01 or 0.1, one unit is considered to be 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01 or 0.1 as appropriate.

[0045] In one embodiment, the present application provides a method for preparing a proton exchange membrane with hydrogen barrier coating, the method comprising the steps of:

[0046] S1: mixing the inorganic filler with the functional resin, adding a solvent and stirring to obtain a slurry;

[0048] S3: heat treating the dried proton exchange membrane, the heat treating time is 10 minutes-2 hours, the heat treating temperature is 120-200 ℃, to obtain the proton exchange membrane containing the hydrogen blocking coating.

In one specific embodiment, the functional resin is one or more of sulfonated polysulfone, perfluorosulfonic acid resin, perfluorocarboxylic acid resin, perfluorophosphonic acid resin.

[0052] In one preferred embodiment, the inorganic filler is one or both of graphene and boron nitride, the functional resin is one or both of sulfonated polyether sulfone and perfluorocarboxylic acid resin, and the mixture of perfluorocarboxylic acid resin.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 1, the hydrogen blocking principle of the present application will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 1, the penetration of gas adopts a dissolution-diffusion mechanism. Specifically, the hydrogen gas penetrates the proton exchange membrane mainly in the following two ways: (1) dissolution and (2) diffusion. In the case of dissolution, part of the hydrogen gas dissolves in the water of the hydrogen blocking coating on the one side interface of the hydrogen blocking coating, and the water dissolving the hydrogen gas is transported in the hydrogen blocking coating due to the different pressures on both sides of the hydrogen blocking coating and the different hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of the polymers in different regions of the hydrogen blocking coating. When the water dissolving the hydrogen gas passes through the hydrogen blocking coating and reaches the other side interface of the hydrogen blocking coating, the dissolved hydrogen gas is released when the external conditions change. In the case of diffusion, the hydrogen gas is adsorbed on the one side interface of the hydrogen blocking coating, then diffuses in the polymer layer of the hydrogen blocking coating, reaches the other side interface of the hydrogen blocking coating, and desorbs when the external conditions change, thereby completing the penetration of hydrogen gas.

[0054] The hydrogen blocking technology of the present application simultaneously considers two permeation modes of hydrogen and makes targeted blocking respectively. First, high molecular materials with different functional groups (such as perfluorocarboxylic acid resin, sulfonated polyether sulfone, etc.) are used to prepare the coating, so that the hydrogen blocking coating has a certain hydrophobicity, the transfer of water in the membrane is optimized, the dissolution of hydrogen in water is reduced, and the diffusion of dissolved hydrogen in water in the hydrogen blocking coating is reduced. Second, inorganic two-dimensional materials (such as boron nitride, graphene, etc.) are used to increase the diffusion path of hydrogen in the hydrogen blocking coating, thereby reducing the diffusion ability of hydrogen.

[0055] It needs to be particularly pointed out that, compared with the thickness of the proton exchange membrane, the thickness of the hydrogen blocking coating of the present application after drying is less than or equal to 10 microns, preferably less than or equal to 5 microns, without destroying the original structure of the proton exchange membrane, and without adversely affecting the permeability of the proton exchange membrane.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, in step S1, the solid content of the slurry is 3-40%, preferably 20-40%.

[0057] In one specific embodiment, in step S2, the coating method is one or more of spraying, knife coating, slot coating and transfer printing method, and the coating method is preferably slot coating.

[0058] The wet thickness of the wet coating is 10-100 μm, the drying temperature is 100-200 °C, and the drying time is 2-4 hours.

[0059] The proton exchange membrane is a commercial product that can be used for water electrolysis hydrogen production, and the thickness is 50-130 microns.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, in step S3, the heat treatment is carried out in one of a blast oven, a blast oven, a vacuum oven.

[0061] The heat treatment time is 0.5-2 hours, and the heat treatment temperature is 180-200 °C.

[0062] In another embodiment, the present application provides a proton exchange membrane containing a hydrogen blocking coating, which is prepared by the preparation method as described above.

[0063] In another embodiment, the present application provides a membrane electrode comprising a proton exchange membrane containing a hydrogen blocking coating as described above.
