Background technology
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells is a kind ofly directly chemical energy to be converted into the TRT of electric energy by electrochemical means, is considered to the cleaning of 21 century first-selection, generation technology efficiently.(proton exchange membrane PEM) is Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (proton exchange membrane fuel cell, critical material PEMFC) to PEM.
Present employed perfluorinated sulfonic acid PEM has good proton-conducting and chemical stability under (80 ℃) and the higher humidity at a lower temperature.But they also have a lot of defectives:, poor chemical stability not high as poor dimensional stability, mechanical strength etc.Film water absorption rate and size of causing because of suction under different humidity expand also different, and when film during at different operating mode down conversion, the size of film also will so change.So repeatedly, finally cause PEM generation mechanical damage.In addition, the reaction of the positive pole of fuel cell usually produces the material that a large amount of hydroxyl free radicals and hydrogen peroxide etc. have strong oxidizing property, and non-fluorin radical on these materials meeting attack film-forming resin molecules causes film generation chemical degradation and damaged, foaming.At last, when the operating temperature of perfluorinated sulfonic acid exchange membrane is higher than 90 ℃,, thereby the efficient of fuel cell is descended greatly owing to the rapid dehydration of film causes the proton-conducting of film sharply to descend.But high operating temperature can improve the anti-carbon monoxide of fuel-cell catalyst greatly.Be exactly that existing perfluoro sulfonic acid membrane all has certain hydrogen or methanol permeability in addition, especially in DMFC, methanol permeability is very big, and this becomes fatal problem.Therefore, how to improve the proton conduction efficient under perfluorinated sulfonic acid proton exchange film strength, dimensional stability and the high temperature, the permeability of reduction working media etc. and become the key subjects that fuel cell industries faces.
U.S. Pat 7259208 discloses and has contained triazine ring cross-linked structure perfluoro sulfonic acid membrane, has excellent mechanical intensity and dimensional stability equally, but makes inevitably in the method for this patent disclosure and exist a large amount of unreacted crosslinked groups in the cross linking membrane.In the operation of fuel cells environment, these unreacted crosslinked groups will be degraded by free radical, thus the life-span of having reduced film.
U.S. Pat 6733914 discloses the perfluor sulfonyl fluorine type film that will melt extrude and has soaked in ammoniacal liquor, thereby forms the PEM of sulfimide cross-linked structure, and so the perfluoro sulfonic acid membrane of handling has excellent mechanical intensity and dimensional stability.But the resulting film of the method for utilizing this patent does not have the good high-temperature proton conductivity.
For solving the high temperature proton conduction behavior of perfluoro sulfonic acid membrane, the auxiliary proton conductive substance that will much have the high-temp water-preserving ability joins in the perfluorinated sulfonic acid exchange membrane.Selected auxiliary proton conductive substance must have following performance: (1) particle has water holding capacity preferably, and higher dehydration temperature is just arranged; (2) has intermiscibility preferably with proton exchange resins; (3) particle has certain proton conductivity; (4) be easy to obtain littler nanometer particle; (5) structural stability of particle is good, does not follow tangible structural change in suction, dehydration; (6) help keeping or improving the mechanical strength or the physical size stability of PEM.The auxiliary proton conductive substance particle that adopts is SiO normally

For example Chinese patent 200810138704.x discloses a kind of crosslinked enhancing and adds by the perfluoro sulfonic acid membrane of assisting proton conductive substance, owing to added auxiliary proton conductive substance in cross linking membrane, makes the high temperature proton conducting ability of film improve greatly.
But crosslinked enhancing film in the past often only adopts chemical bonding crosslinked, and its degree of cross linking is little, can't increase substantially the character of film on mechanical performance.
The perfluorinated sulfonic acid ionic membrane that is used for fuel cell need meet the demands: stable, high conductivity, high mechanical properties.Generally speaking, when ion-exchange capacity raise, the equivalent value of (per) fluoropolymer descends, and (equivalent value EW value reduced, ion exchange capacity IEC=1000/EW), film strength also reduces simultaneously, and the also rising thereupon of the gas permeability of film, and this will produce very fuel cell and seriously influence.Therefore, preparation has the macroion exchange capacity, has favorable mechanical mechanical strength and air-tightness, and the film with good stable is fuel cell, and especially the fuel cell that uses on delivery vehicles such as automobile is able to practical key.
