Background
Hydrogen fuel cells are known as the next generation of clean energy carriers for portable and automotive applications due to their high energy density, high efficiency, low pollutant emissions, quiet operation, and short start-up and shut-down times. However, hydrogen fuel cells have poor durability and high cost, primarily associated with Proton Exchange Membranes (PEM). A proton exchange membrane, which plays a critical role in hydrogen fuel cells, separates hydrogen and oxygen while allowing protons to pass through. Nafion from dupont is considered a standard PEM because of its high proton conductivity, low hydrogen permeation and good chemical and mechanical stability.
Disclosure of Invention
The purpose of the invention is as follows: the invention aims to provide a high-durability fuel cell composite proton exchange membrane, which improves the stability and the utilization rate of a free radical quencher and has high durability; the second purpose of the invention is to provide a preparation method of the composite proton exchange membrane of the high-durability fuel cell; the invention also aims to provide application of the high-durability fuel cell composite proton exchange membrane.
The technical scheme is as follows: the invention relates to a high-durability fuel cell composite proton exchange membrane, which comprises a membrane matrix and a metal oxide radical quencher dispersed in the membrane matrix, wherein an organic matter coating layer is arranged on the surface of the radical quencher; the inside of the metal oxide is formed, and the outside of the metal oxide is coated with organic matters for improving the stability.
Preferably, the thickness of the coating layer is 0.5-5 nm.
The metal oxide free radical quencher is cerium oxide, manganese oxide, chromium oxide or cobalt oxide, and the organic coating layer is polydopamine.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the high-durability fuel cell composite proton exchange membrane, which comprises the following steps:
(1) dissolving a metal oxide free radical quencher, dopamine hydrochloride and Tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (Tris) in a solvent, mixing to obtain a mixed solution, adjusting the pH value of the solution to 8-10, stirring at normal temperature for 0.5-2 h for coating reaction, then carrying out suction filtration and drying on the mixed solution, and obtaining the metal oxide free radical quencher with a coating layer;
(2) mixing the organic matter-coated metal oxide free radical quencher prepared in the step (1) with a polymer resin solution according to a certain proportion, and magnetically stirring to obtain a uniform dispersion liquid;
(3) pouring the dispersion liquid into a mold, drying under a vacuum condition, and performing post heat treatment to obtain a composite film;
(4) and respectively soaking the composite membrane in an acid solution and water to obtain the proton exchange membrane.
In the step (1), metal oxide, organic matter for coating the surface of the metal oxide, deionized water and Tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (Tris) are mixed according to a certain proportion and stirred until the mixture is dissolved, a certain amount of NaOH solution is dripped to adjust the pH value of the mixed solution to be alkalescent, magnetic stirring is carried out in air for a period of time at room temperature to obtain the organic matter coated on the surface of metal oxide particles, and the mixed solution after coating reaction is subjected to suction filtration and drying for 12 hours to obtain the organic matter coated metal oxide radical quencher.
The method comprises the steps of mixing a metal oxide free radical quencher, an organic matter, ultrapure water and Tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (Tris) according to a certain proportion, and if the addition amount of the organic matter is too much, forming a thick coating layer on the surface of the metal oxide to be not beneficial to the formation and migration of metal cations, so that the free radical removal effect is reduced, and in order to ensure that the polymerization reaction occurs, a proper amount of the organic matter needs to be added under the alkalescent condition. The coating time is controlled within a reasonable range, and the use effect of the free radical quencher is influenced due to the fact that the coating layer is too thick due to too long coating time. Preferably, in the step (1), the adding mass of the dopamine hydrochloride is 1-4 times that of the free radical quencher; in the mixed solution, the concentration of the dopamine hydrochloride is 0.1-8 mg/mL, and the concentration of the metal oxide free radical quencher is 0.1-4 mg/mL. Preferably, the metal oxide radical quencher is cerium oxide.
In the step (2), the addition amount of the free radical quenching agent in the dispersion liquid accounts for 0.5-1.2 wt% of the addition amount of the polymer resin; the equivalent mass of the polymer resin is 700 g/mol-1200 g/mol, the solvent of the polymer resin solution is dimethyl sulfoxide or N, N-dimethylformamide, and the solute of the polymer resin solution can be DuPont Nafion resin or 3M PFSR resin. If too much free radical quencher is added, the free radical quencher can coordinate with the sulfonate, so that proton transmission sites are reduced, and the electrochemical performance of the battery is greatly reduced.
In the step (3), the drying treatment temperature is 40-80 ℃, the drying time is 8-16 h, and the heat treatment temperature is 125-180 ℃. The heat treatment time is 3-6 h.
In the step (4), soaking for 1-2 hours by using a sulfuric acid solution with the temperature of 70-90 ℃ and the concentration of 0.5-2M, and then soaking for 1-2 hours by using deionized water with the temperature of 70-90 ℃ to finally obtain the composite proton exchange membrane.
The preparation method comprises the following steps of (1) mixing cerium oxide, dopamine, ultrapure water and Tris according to a certain proportion, adding dopamine hydrochloride under an alkaline condition, and carrying out oxidative autopolymerization reaction on the dopamine to obtain the polydopamine-coated cerium oxide nanoparticles. In the step (2), the selection of the solvent can directly influence the dispersion state of the free radical quencher in the ion exchange resin and the subsequent film-forming quality, and the selection of the proper high-boiling point solvent is favorable for obtaining a compact and uniform proton exchange membrane. In the step (3), the drying temperature can significantly affect the film-forming quality, if the temperature is too low, the volume cannot be completely volatilized, if the temperature is too high, the formed film can crack, if the annealing temperature can affect the crystallinity of the proton exchange film, if the crystallinity is too low, the phase separation of the proton exchange film is insufficient, the mechanical property is poor, and the proton conductivity is low. In the step (4), the residual metal cations in the proton exchange membrane can be replaced by protons by sulfuric acid soaking so as to improve the proton conductivity, and the proton exchange membrane is cleaned by water soaking.
The method comprises the steps of uniformly dispersing cerium oxide in a Tris buffer solution, adding dopamine hydrochloride in an alkaline environment, oxidizing the dopamine into a quinoid structure, performing intramolecular cyclization and rearrangement on primary amine in molecules, generating polydopamine aggregates which are subjected to Brownian motion in the solution, wherein the polydopamine has strong adhesion due to the fact that the polydopamine contains a catechol structure and amino groups, and the aggregates are attached to the surface of cerium oxide serving as a free radical quencher by virtue of strong adhesion, so that PD @ CeO2And (3) nanoparticles. By the method, the problem that the traditional spherical metal oxide free radical quencher is easy to migrate is remarkably solved, the aggregation of metal ions on a catalyst layer is effectively avoided, and the performance decay rate of the hydrogen fuel cell is greatly reduced.
The durability of the proton exchange membrane is improved by introducing a method of coating a polymer for the first time, and the poly-dopamine is adopted to coat the metal oxide radical quencher, the poly-dopamine molecular structure contains a plurality of active sites, a linear structure can be formed through radical polymerization, the poly-dopamine is favorably combined with a reaction group in a resin solution, and meanwhile, the poly-dopamine-coated metal oxide radical quencher further improves the dispersibility to achieve the technical effect of synergy, so that the durability of the proton exchange membrane of the fuel cell is greatly improved.
