Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for preparing non-load catalyst electrodes of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel batteries, which comprises: catalyst precursors and polymer electrolyte are prepared into solution, the solution is coated on the surface of a polymer electrolyte membrane or carbon paper or other substrates, and then, the catalyst precursors in the coating on the substrate surface are reduced to metal. The method combines non-load catalyst preparation and electrode manufacture. Catalyst precursors are reduced to metal under the protection of polymer electrolyte, so that nanometer catalyst granules can be prevented from aggregation and sintering, and catalysts with high dispersivity are obtained. Simultaneously, catalyst granules generated under the condition are uniformly mixed with polymer electrolyte, and sufficient contact can be obtained. The method has the advantages of simple operation and low cost and is suitable for large-scale industrialized production.

Description

Polymer dielectric film fuel cell does not have the manufacture method of catalyst-loaded electrode
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of polymer dielectric film fuel cell does not have the manufacture method of catalyst-loaded electrode.
Background technology
Polymer dielectric film fuel cell (polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell, PEMFC) but have energy density and advantages such as power density is big, the low room temperature startup of working temperature, be considered to the optimal power supply of electric motor car and mobile electronic device.The core component of PEMFC is that (membrane electrode assembly, MEA), the quality of its structure is directly connected to the performance of battery to membrane electrode assembly.For the big electric current output of utilance, acquisition that improves catalyst, the electrode layer among the MEA should be thin as far as possible.Yet can obtain the PEMFC of enough big power output (as direct methanol fuel cell for need greater catalytic agent carrying capacity, direct methanol fuel cell, DMFC), reduce electrode layers thickness and have contradiction to a certain extent with the raising catalyst loading.
The catalyst that PEMFC uses normally is supported on platinum and the alloy thereof on the high-ratio surface charcoal.There are some researches show (L.Liu, et al, Electrochimica Acta, 1998,43,3657), if the catalyst that DMFC uses charcoal to carry, when catalyst loading is higher than 0.5mg/cm 2The time battery performance can't continue to improve; Do not have catalyst-loaded SC service ceiling and then can reach 8mg/cm 2In recent years, no catalyst-loaded quilt adopts more and more in the report of high-performance DMFC.
High dispersive no catalyst-loaded difficulty relatively in preparation, and in use take place easily to reunite and sintering.Make and do not have the key technology that catalyst-loaded electrode is acquisition high-performance DMFC efficiently.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the problems referred to above, propose the manufacture method that a kind of polymer dielectric film fuel cell does not have catalyst-loaded electrode.This method is simple to operate, and cost of manufacture is low, thereby suitable large-scale industrial production.
Technical scheme provided by the invention is: a kind of polymer dielectric film fuel cell does not have the manufacture method of catalyst-loaded electrode, and preparation earlier contains polymer dielectric and catalyst precarsor (as H 2PtCl 6, RuCl 3) solution; This kind solution is applied to substrate surface; After treating solvent evaporates, the catalyst precarsor in the substrate surface coating is reduced into metal.
Above-mentioned polymer dielectric is the strong-acid type polymer dielectric, or the strong base polymer dielectric; The solvent of above-mentioned solution is a water, or lower alcohol, or the mixture of lower alcohol and water (also can be the solvent of other solubilized catalyst precarsor and polymer dielectric); Above-mentioned substrate is heat-resisting chemically inert polymer film (as poly tetrafluoroethylene), or the polymer dielectric film of assemble use, or the diffusion layer material (as carbon paper) of assemble use; The above-mentioned method that catalyst precarsor in the substrate surface coating is reduced into metal is under the temperature that is no more than the polymer dielectric decomposition temperature, with substrate heat treatment under nitrogen atmosphere, make the catalyst precarsor in the substrate surface coating be reduced into metal: or substrate immersed contain in the concentrated solution of strong reductant, make the catalyst precarsor in the substrate surface coating be reduced into metal.
Advantage of the present invention is: making that will not have catalyst-loaded preparation and electrode combines, catalyst precarsor is reduced into metal under the protection of polymer dielectric, the catalyst granules that can prevent nano-scale takes place to reunite and sintering, obtains the catalyst of high degree of dispersion; Catalyst granules and the polymer dielectric that produces under this condition mixes simultaneously, can obtain the contact of fullest.These characteristics all are very beneficial for improving battery performance.Method provided by the invention is simple to operate, and cost of manufacture is low, thereby suitable large-scale industrial production.
