Direct alcohol fuel cell membrane electrode assembly integral mould with three kinds of functional structures of the present invention, have following advantage: mould structure is simple, easily processing, good operation.Utilize this mould that each component set of component film electrode is integral; make pile easy to assembly; reduce labour intensity; enhance productivity; in integrating process, utilize the polymer sheets bearer bar; the MEA frame together, prevented effectively that anode diffusion layer, anode catalyst layer, proton conductive membrane, cathode catalyst layer, cathode diffusion layer from coming off, displacement, foldover, swelling deformation.
Directly alcohol fuel battery is to be composed in series pile by N monocell, and the clamping force size directly influences cell discharge performance during the pile assembling.Clamping force is Da Yi crushing diffusion layer and pressure break proton conductive membrane too, and cell discharge performance was lost efficacy; Clamping force too hour diffusion layer and bipolar plates face contact resistance is excessive, does not reach optimum Match, directly influences cell discharge performance.No matter it is much to utilize bearer bar in the integrated membrane electrode of this mould to play clamping force, it is consistent with bipolar plates face contact resistance to remain diffusion layer, need not worry crushing diffusion layer and pressure break proton conductive membrane, and battery reaches optimum Match, the optimal discharge state.
Paste sealant on the polymer sheets bearer bar wherein and play sealing function between MEA and the bipolar plates.
Therefore, with the product of die production of the present invention, intensity, good rigidity, indeformable, shape do not split, the pile assembling easily, fuel battery stability is good, the life-span is long.
