Description

Polymer modified composite proton exchange membrane, preparation method thereof and fuel cell
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a polymer modified composite proton exchange membrane, a preparation method thereof and a fuel cell.
Background
A proton exchange membrane fuel cell is an energy conversion device capable of directly converting chemical energy in hydrogen fuel and oxidant into electric energy through electrochemical reaction. The fuel cell has the characteristics of high energy conversion efficiency, no exhaust emission and the like, is considered as one of the most promising schemes for solving energy crisis and environmental pollution, and particularly has great application prospects in the aspects of transportation such as automobiles, ships, standby power supplies and the like. Because of these outstanding advantages, the development and application of fuel cell technology are emphasized, and are considered to be the first clean and efficient power generation mode in the 21 st century.
The proton exchange membrane is one of the core materials of the membrane electrode of the fuel cell, and plays important roles in conducting protons, separating cathode and anode, supporting a catalytic layer and preventing gas from crossing each other in the fuel cell. The structural stability and durability of proton exchange membranes have a critical impact on fuel cell performance and life. In order to improve the mechanical strength and the swelling resistance of the proton exchange membrane, porous polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) is generally adopted as a reinforced swelling body, and Nafion resin is filled and coated in the swelling body to obtain the composite proton exchange membrane. Since e-PTFE is highly hydrophobic, nafion dispersion is difficult to fully infiltrate into the pores of the expanded mass to form an effective fill. Strategy for solving chemical corrosion problemOften incorporating anti-radical additives, e.g. CeO 2 Pt, etc., reduce the strongly oxidizing radicals, thereby alleviating the oxidative corrosion of the perfluorosulfonic acid resin by the radicals.
CN1861668A improves the hydrophilicity of the porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane by a plasma treatment method, so that the perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin solution and the porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane are better combined, and the mechanical strength and proton conductivity of the prepared composite proton exchange membrane are improved. CN1706540a adopts the mode of gas pressure to make proton conducting resin fully enter into porous high polymer matrix, so as to promote the performance of composite proton exchange membrane. CN112599825 a adopts a magnetron sputtering mode to sputter a layer of uniformly dispersed Pt particles on one surface of the porous PTFE membrane, so as to improve the oxidation corrosion resistance of the composite proton exchange membrane. However, the above methods cannot achieve both improvement of resin wettability and oxidation corrosion resistance through a single treatment.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples, in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a polymer modified composite proton exchange membrane, comprising the steps of:
s1, soaking the porous polytetrafluoroethylene bulks into oxidant dispersion liquid, and then taking out and drying the porous polytetrafluoroethylene bulks to enable the porous polytetrafluoroethylene bulks to be attached with an oxidant;
s2, coating polypyrrole (PPy) on the porous polytetrafluoroethylene expanded surface in a gas-phase oxidation polymerization mode to obtain a porous polytetrafluoroethylene expanded body coated and modified by PPy nano particles;
s3, coating a perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin solution on the surface of the porous polytetrafluoroethylene bulked body coated and modified by the PPy nano-particles, and then drying, heat treatment and protonizing to obtain the composite proton exchange membrane.
According to the invention, a conductive polypyrrole nano coating layer is doped and introduced into a porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane in a gas-phase oxidation polymerization mode, and then a perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin solution is coated on the surface of an e-PTFE membrane to obtain the composite proton exchange membrane. Polypyrrole is a polymer material with reversible oxidation-reduction performance and has hydrophilic performance obviously superior to that of an e-PTFE membrane, so that a perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin solution can well infiltrate into the e-PTFE membrane modified by the polypyrrole and fully infiltrate into holes of the e-PTFE membrane to form the composite proton exchange membrane with high resin filling degree. Meanwhile, polypyrrole introduced into the e-PTFE membrane can be used as a reducing agent to react with an oxygen radical intermediate with strong oxidability generated in the running process of the battery, so that Nafion resin is protected from being corroded by oxidation, and the chemical durability of the proton exchange membrane is improved. In addition, the protonated PPy has certain proton conductivity, and can effectively improve the proton conductivity of the composite membrane. In addition, unlike other inorganic anti-free radical additives, polypyrrole is taken as a nitrogenous polymer material, and rich N atoms on a molecular chain of the polypyrrole can form hydrogen bond action with Nafion resin, so that the polypyrrole nano particles and the Nafion resin are tightly combined, and the problems of migration, agglomeration, loss and the like can not occur along with the progress of the reaction. Through the improvement of the invention, the resin filling efficiency in the preparation process of the bulked reinforced composite proton exchange membrane can be effectively improved, and the proton conductivity, the oxidation corrosion resistance and the durability of the composite proton exchange membrane are improved.

Comparative example 2
The comparative example provides a preparation method of a polymer modified composite proton exchange membrane, which comprises the following steps:
(1) 5 μm thick porous polytetrafluoroethylene bulks (e-PTFE, 8cm x 10cm, average pore diameter 300 nm) were placed in 200ml of 0.1mol/L ferric chloride dispersion (the solvent is a mixed solution of water and ethanol in a volume ratio of 7:3) and immersed for 30min, and then taken out and dried, so that the bulks were sufficiently adhered with the oxidant.

(3) Dispersing perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin at high temperature and high pressure to obtain 20wt% of perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin (Nafion, the average size of resin clusters is 150 nm) solution, respectively coating a layer of Nafion dispersion liquid with the thickness of 100 mu m on two sides of a PPy nanoparticle coated and modified e-PTFE expansion body in a normal temperature and normal pressure doctor-blading mode, drying at normal temperature, and further carrying out heat treatment and protonation treatment to obtain a composite proton exchange membrane material; wherein the heat treatment temperature is 200 ℃, and the heat treatment time is 30min; the protonizing treatment steps are as follows: immersing the proton exchange membrane after heat treatment into H with the concentration of 0.5mol/L at 60 DEG C 2 SO 4 Soaking for 30min, taking out, and repeatedly washing the membrane with deionized water; repeating the above process for 3 times, airing the proton membrane at normal temperature, and then carrying out gradient heating drying treatment at 60-100 ℃ to obtain the protonated composite proton exchange membrane.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a scanning electron microscope image of a microstructure of a porous polytetrafluoroethylene bulked body coated and modified with PPy nanoparticles prepared in example 1 of the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the fibrous structure surface of the e-PTFE membrane is loaded with a layer of nanoparticles, while a better retention of the pore structure of the e-PTFE membrane is observed.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a scanning electron microscope image of a cross-sectional microstructure of the composite proton exchange membrane prepared in example 1 of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 2, the e-PTFE layer in the middle of the composite proton exchange membrane has been completely filled with resin particles and no significant voids are observed.
In contrast, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a scanning electron microscope picture of a cross-section microstructure of the composite proton exchange membrane prepared in comparative example 1 of the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the e-PTFE in the middle of the composite proton exchange membrane has poor filling degree and very obvious gap and layering phenomena, which fully shows that the coating of PPy nano particles on the e-PTFE membrane obviously improves the infiltration characteristic of the PPy nano particles on Nafion resin, thereby improving the filling degree of the resin in the composite membrane. Obviously, the higher the filling degree of the resin particles in the e-PTFE, the better the mechanical strength and the anti-swelling performance of the prepared composite proton exchange membrane.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a scanning electron microscope image of a microstructure of the porous polytetrafluoroethylene bulks coated and modified with PPy nanoparticles prepared in comparative example 2 of the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the polypyrrole nanoparticles are largely agglomerated and attached to the surface of the e-PTFE film, almost completely covering the fiber pore structure, and the fiber structure inside the e-PTFE film can be seen only from the remaining small amount of pore structure. The reason for this phenomenon is that: the e-PTFE membrane in the reaction system has poor intrinsic hydrophobicity, and pyrrole monomers are difficult to infiltrate into the pore diameter of the bulked body rapidly and fully in the liquid phase reaction process, so that the problem of poor polymerization uniformity is aggravated. Obviously, uneven loading of polypyrrole necessarily affects the impregnating effect of the resin in the next process.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a scanning electron microscope picture of a cross-sectional microstructure of the composite proton exchange membrane prepared in comparative example 2 of the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the e-PTFE in the composite proton membrane prepared in comparative example 2 has poor filling degree and obvious delamination.

As can be seen from Table 1, the conductivity, tensile strength and hydrogen permeation current data of the PPy modified composite proton exchange membrane (example 1) obtained by the gas phase polymerization reaction are superior to those of the PPy modified composite proton exchange membrane (comparative example 1) which is not subjected to PPy modification and the PPy modified composite proton exchange membrane (comparative example 2) obtained by the liquid phase polymerization reaction, which shows that the PPy coating treatment process based on the gas phase polymerization reaction is more beneficial to improving the interface contact and infiltration problem of the e-PTFE membrane and the Nafion solution, improving the filling degree of Nafion resin particles in the e-PTFE membrane, further improving the tensile strength and the conductivity of the composite membrane, and simultaneously, the higher filling degree can slow down the permeation of hydrogen and reduce the hydrogen permeation current.
As can be seen from the change results of key characteristic parameters after the Fenton reagent (hydrogen peroxide solution and ferrous ion solution) oxidation corrosion test, after the oxidation corrosion is carried out for 100 hours, the thickness, the conductivity, the tensile strength and the hydrogen permeation current data of the composite proton exchange membrane of the embodiment 1 are slightly changed, while the thickness, the conductivity and the tensile strength of the composite proton exchange membrane of the comparative example 1 and the comparative example 2 are obviously reduced after the oxidation corrosion is carried out for 100 hours, and meanwhile, the hydrogen permeation current is sharply increased. This is because the resin filling degree of the composite proton exchange membrane in example 1 is higher, and PPy nano particles loaded on the e-PTFE membrane can be used as a reducing agent to react with a strong oxidizing group, so that the corrosive decomposition effect of the Fenton reagent on the perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin particles in the composite proton exchange membrane is reduced, and the stability of various performance indexes of the composite proton exchange membrane is ensured.
In addition, as can be seen from the results of comparative examples 1 and 2, the conductivity, tensile strength, hydrogen permeation current effect and oxidation corrosion effect of the composite proton exchange membrane of comparative example 2 are all worse than those of comparative example 1, and it can be further demonstrated by combining the above analysis demonstration that although the reasonable introduction of the polypyrrole modification layer can improve the filling degree, conductivity, oxidation corrosion resistance and other capacities of the composite proton exchange membrane, if a proper polypyrrole introduction method is not adopted, the problem that the polypyrrole particles block the pore diameter of polytetrafluoroethylene can occur, thereby seriously affecting the effective filling of the perfluorosulfonic acid resin cluster particles in the subsequent treatment process, and leading to no adverse drop in various performances and durability indexes of the synthesized proton exchange membrane. Therefore, a practical and effective implementation strategy is provided, the reasonable distribution of the polypyrrole modification layer in the polytetrafluoroethylene bulks is ensured, the advantages of hydrophilicity, oxidation resistance, conductivity and the like of the polypyrrole can be fully exerted, the filling degree of the perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin in the bulks after the polypyrrole modification is effectively improved, the mechanical property, conductivity and oxidation resistance of the finished product composite proton exchange membrane are further improved, and the hydrogen permeation current is reduced.
The result shows that the pretreatment of the e-PTFE membrane by using the PPy in a gas-phase oxidation polymerization mode can effectively improve the wettability of Nafion solution in the e-PTFE, ensure the efficient filling of Nafion resin, and the protonated PPy has a certain proton conductivity, so that the proton conductivity of the composite membrane can be effectively improved, and meanwhile, the existence of the PPy can be used as a reversible reducing agent to relieve the chemical corrosion of strong oxidative oxygen free radicals on the Nafion resin, so that the durability of the composite proton exchange membrane is improved.
