Description
本発明は、燃料電池に用いられる多孔質電極基材とその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a porous electrode substrate used for a fuel cell and a method for producing the same.
燃料電池に設置されるガス拡散電極基材は、従来機械的強度を高くするために、炭素短繊維を抄造後、有機高分子で結着させ、これを高温で焼成して有機高分子を炭素化させたペーパー状の炭素/炭素複合体からなる多孔質電極基材であった(特許文献1参照)。また、低コスト化を目的として、酸化短繊維を抄造後、これを高温で焼成して酸化短繊維を炭素化させた多孔質電極基材が提案されている(特許文献2参照)。さらには、複数の炭素繊維を含んで成るマット;および該炭素繊維マットに組み込まれた複数のアクリルパルプ繊維を含んでなり、該アクリルパルプ繊維は、炭素繊維マットに組み込まれた後に硬化され炭化される燃料電池用ガス拡散層が提案されている(特許文献3参照)。 In order to increase mechanical strength, gas diffusion electrode base materials installed in fuel cells are conventionally made by making short carbon fibers, binding them with organic polymers, and firing them at a high temperature to convert the organic polymers into carbon. It was the porous electrode base material which consists of carbonized carbon / carbon composite (refer patent document 1). Also, for the purpose of reducing the cost, a porous electrode substrate has been proposed in which oxidized short fibers are made and then fired at a high temperature to carbonize the oxidized short fibers (see Patent Document 2). A mat comprising a plurality of carbon fibers; and a plurality of acrylic pulp fibers incorporated into the carbon fiber mat, the acrylic pulp fibers being cured and carbonized after being incorporated into the carbon fiber mat. A gas diffusion layer for a fuel cell has been proposed (see Patent Document 3).
しかし、特許文献1に開示されている多孔質炭素電極基材は、機械的強度および表面平滑性が高く、十分なガス透気度および導電性を有しているもの、製造工程が複雑であるため製造コストが高くなる問題があった。特許文献2に開示されている炭素繊維シートの製法は、低コスト化は可能であるものの、焼成時の収縮が大きく、得られる多孔質電極基材の厚みムラが大きいことやシートのうねりが大きいという問題があった。特許文献3に開示されている多孔質電極基材は、低コスト化は可能であるが、シート化する際の炭素繊維とアクリルパルプの絡みが少なく、ハンドリングが困難であるという問題があった。また、アクリルパルプは繊維状材料と比較してポリマーの分子配向がほとんどないため、炭素化時の炭素化率が低く、ハンドリング性を高めるためには、多くのアクリルパルプを添加する必要があった。 However, the porous carbon electrode substrate disclosed in Patent Document 1 has high mechanical strength and surface smoothness, has sufficient gas permeability and conductivity, and the manufacturing process is complicated. Therefore, there has been a problem that the manufacturing cost becomes high. Although the carbon fiber sheet manufacturing method disclosed in Patent Document 2 can reduce the cost, the shrinkage at the time of firing is large, the thickness unevenness of the obtained porous electrode substrate is large, and the sheet has a large swell. There was a problem. Although the porous electrode substrate disclosed in Patent Document 3 can be reduced in cost, there is a problem that handling is difficult because there is little entanglement between carbon fibers and acrylic pulp when forming into a sheet. In addition, since acrylic pulp has almost no molecular orientation of the polymer compared to fibrous materials, the carbonization rate during carbonization is low, and it was necessary to add a large amount of acrylic pulp in order to improve handling properties. .
本発明は、上記のような問題点を克服し、製造コストが低く、厚み精度および表面平滑性が高く、十分なハンドリング性をもち、かつ十分なガス透気度および導電性を持った多孔質電極基材およびその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention overcomes the above-mentioned problems, has a low manufacturing cost, has high thickness accuracy and surface smoothness, has sufficient handling properties, and has a sufficient gas permeability and conductivity. It aims at providing an electrode base material and its manufacturing method.

In particular, from the viewpoint of reduction in manufacturing cost and expression of conductivity, it is preferable that the residual mass in the carbonization treatment step is 20% by mass or more.
ポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマーは、アクリロニトリルを単独重合したポリマーであっても、アクリロニトリルとその他のモノマーとを共重合したポリマーであってもよいが、紡糸性および炭素化処理工程における残存質量の観点から、アクリロニトリル単位を50質量%以上含有するポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマーが好ましい。アクリロニトリルと共重合されるモノマーとしては、一般的なアクリル系繊維を構成する不飽和モノマーであれば特に限定されないが、例えば、アクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エチル、アクリル酸イソプロピル、アクリル酸n−ブチル、アクリル酸2−エチルヘキシル、アクリル酸2−ヒドロキシエチル、アクリル酸ヒドロキシプロピルなどに代表されるアクリル酸エステル類;メタクリル酸メチル、メタクリル酸エチル、メタクリル酸イソプロピル、メタクリル酸n−ブチル、メタクリル酸イソブチル、メタクリル酸t−ブチル、メタクリル酸n−ヘキシル、メタクリル酸シクロヘキシル、メタクリル酸ラウリル、メタクリル酸2−ヒドロキシエチル、メタクリル酸ヒドロキシプロピル、メタクリル酸ジエチルアミノエチルなどに代表されるメタクリル酸エステル類;アクリル酸、メタクリル酸、マレイン酸、イタコン酸、アクリルアミド、N−メチロールアクリルアミド、ジアセトンアクリルアミド、スチレン、ビニルトルエン、酢酸ビニル、塩化ビニル、塩化ビニリデン、臭化ビニリデン、フッ化ビニル、フッ化ビニリデンなどが挙げられる。ポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマーは、炭素化処理する工程における残存質量が20質量%以上であることが好ましい。 The polyacrylonitrile-based polymer may be a polymer obtained by homopolymerizing acrylonitrile or a polymer obtained by copolymerizing acrylonitrile and other monomers, but from the viewpoint of spinnability and residual mass in the carbonization process, acrylonitrile. A polyacrylonitrile-based polymer containing 50% by mass or more of units is preferable. The monomer copolymerized with acrylonitrile is not particularly limited as long as it is an unsaturated monomer constituting a general acrylic fiber. For example, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, Acrylic esters represented by 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, etc .; methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, isopropyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid Typical examples include t-butyl acid, n-hexyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, diethylaminoethyl methacrylate and the like.

ポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマーの重量平均分子量は、特に限定されないが、5万〜100万が好ましい。ポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマーの重量平均分子量が5万以上であることで、紡糸性が向上すると同時に、繊維の糸質が良好になる傾向にある。また、ポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマーの重量平均分子量が100万以下であることで、紡糸原液の最適粘度を与えるポリマー濃度が高くなり、生産性が向上する傾向にある。 The weight average molecular weight of the polyacrylonitrile polymer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 50,000 to 1,000,000. When the weight average molecular weight of the polyacrylonitrile-based polymer is 50,000 or more, the spinnability is improved and at the same time the yarn quality of the fiber tends to be good. Further, when the weight average molecular weight of the polyacrylonitrile-based polymer is 1,000,000 or less, the polymer concentration that gives the optimum viscosity of the spinning dope increases, and the productivity tends to be improved.
フェノール樹脂は、炭素化後も導電性物質として残存する物質であり、紡糸性の観点から、常温(10〜40℃)において固体であることが好ましい。フェノール樹脂として、常温において固体でかつ熱融着性を示すノボラックタイプのフェノール樹脂を単独で用いることもできるが、それと、フェノール類とアルデヒド類の反応によって得られるレゾールタイプのフェノール樹脂を混合することも好ましい。フェノール樹脂は、炭素化処理する工程における残存質量が20質量%以上であることが好ましい。なお、フェノール樹脂の種類や、炭素化温度等によって炭素化処理する工程における残存質量が異なる。 The phenol resin is a substance that remains as a conductive substance even after carbonization, and is preferably solid at room temperature (10 to 40 ° C.) from the viewpoint of spinnability. As the phenolic resin, a novolac type phenolic resin that is solid at room temperature and exhibits heat fusion properties can be used alone, but it is mixed with a resol type phenolic resin obtained by the reaction of phenols and aldehydes. Is also preferable. It is preferable that the residual mass in the step of carbonizing the phenol resin is 20% by mass or more. In addition, the residual mass in the process of carbonizing differs depending on the type of phenol resin, the carbonization temperature, and the like.
炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)に含まれるポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマーとフェノール樹脂の質量比は、後述する叩解処理により少なくとも一部分が割繊し、フィブリル化させる観点から、30:70〜80:20が好ましい。 The mass ratio of the polyacrylonitrile-based polymer and the phenol resin contained in the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) is 30:70 to 80:20 from the viewpoint of at least partially splitting and fibrillating by a beating process described later. preferable.
炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)の断面形状は、特に限定されない。分散性、炭素化時の収縮による破断を抑制するため、炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)の繊度は、1〜10dtexであることが好ましい。 The cross-sectional shape of the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) is not particularly limited. In order to suppress dispersibility and breakage due to shrinkage during carbonization, the fineness of the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) is preferably 1 to 10 dtex.
炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)の平均繊維長は、分散性の観点から、1〜20mmが好ましい。 The average fiber length of the carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b) is preferably 1 to 20 mm from the viewpoint of dispersibility.
炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)は、機械的外力により相分離界面の剥離により叩解して、その少なくとも一部分が割繊し、フィブリル化した炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)となる。叩解方法は、特に限定されないが、例えば、リファイナーやパルパー、ビーター、または加圧水流の噴射(ウオータージェットパンチング)によりフィブリル化することが可能である。 The carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) is beaten by peeling of the phase separation interface by a mechanical external force, and at least a part of the carbon fiber precursor short fiber is split into a fibrillated carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b '). The beating method is not particularly limited, and for example, fibrillation can be performed by a refiner, a pulper, a beater, or a jet of pressurized water (water jet punching).
このような炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)は、その種類や炭素短繊維(A)との混合比、酸化処理の有無によって、最終的に得られる多孔質電極基材中に3次元網目状炭素繊維(B)として残る割合が異なる。炭素短繊維(A)と炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)との混合比は、炭素短繊維(A)100質量部に対して、炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)が50〜300質量部程度であることが好ましい。炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)を50質量部以上とすることで、形成される3次元網目状炭素繊維(B)の量が多くなるため、多孔質電極基材シートの強度が向上する。炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)を300質量部以下とすることで、炭素化時の炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)の収縮を抑制する炭素短繊維(A)が少ないことに起因するシートが収縮することを抑制でき、多孔質電極基材シートの強度が向上する。 Such a carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) has a three-dimensional network shape in the finally obtained porous electrode base material depending on the type, the mixing ratio with the carbon short fiber (A), and the presence or absence of oxidation treatment. The proportions remaining as carbon fibers (B) are different. The mixing ratio of the carbon short fiber (A) and the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) is 50 to 300 parts by mass of the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the carbon short fiber (A). It is preferable that it is a grade. By setting the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) to 50 parts by mass or more, the amount of the three-dimensional network carbon fiber (B) to be formed increases, so that the strength of the porous electrode substrate sheet is improved. Sheets resulting from less carbon short fibers (A) that suppress the shrinkage of carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b) during carbonization by setting the carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b) to 300 parts by mass or less. Can be suppressed, and the strength of the porous electrode substrate sheet is improved.
炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)を機械的外力により相分離界面の剥離により叩解する際の、叩解方法、叩解時間に依存して、フィブリル化の状態は変化する。フィブリル化の度合いを評価する方法として、濾水度評価(JIS P8121(パルプ濾水度試験法:カナダ標準型))を用いることができる。 The fibrillation state changes depending on the beating method and beating time when beating the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) by peeling of the phase separation interface by mechanical external force. As a method for evaluating the degree of fibrillation, freeness evaluation (JIS P8121 (pulp freeness test method: Canadian standard type)) can be used.
炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)を叩解させた炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)の濾水度、つまり炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)のフィブリル化の度合いは特に限定されない。濾水度が小さくなるにつれ、3次元網目状炭素繊維(B)が形成されやすい傾向となる。また十分な叩解を実施せず、濾水度が大きいままの炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)を用いると、3次元網目状炭素繊維(B)と、多孔質炭素繊維が混在した状態になる傾向となる。そのような傾向を考慮し、炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)を叩解させた炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)の濾水度は500cc以下とすることが好ましい。 The freeness of the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b ′) obtained by beating the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b), that is, the degree of fibrillation of the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b ′) is not particularly limited. As the freeness decreases, the three-dimensional network carbon fiber (B) tends to be easily formed. In addition, when carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b ′) that are not sufficiently beaten and have a high freeness are used, the three-dimensional network carbon fibers (B) and the porous carbon fibers are mixed. Tend to be. In consideration of such a tendency, it is preferable that the freeness of the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b ′) obtained by beating the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) is 500 cc or less.
なお、炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)は、あらかじめ叩解した状態で炭素短繊維(A)と混合、分散させ、後述する前駆体シートを製造してもよいし、前駆体シートを製造する際に、炭素短繊維(A)と混合、分散させながら叩解されてもよい。 In addition, the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b) may be mixed and dispersed with the carbon short fiber (A) in a beating state in advance to produce a precursor sheet to be described later, or when producing the precursor sheet. Further, it may be beaten while being mixed and dispersed with the short carbon fibers (A).
<易割繊性海島複合繊維>

Hereinafter, an easily splittable sea-island composite fiber will be described as a preferred embodiment of the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b). The easily splittable sea-island composite fiber according to the present invention is composed of a polyacrylonitrile-based polymer / phenolic resin and has a property of fibrillation by beating. What cut this easily split sea-island composite fiber in suitable length (for example, fiber length 1-20 mm) can be used as the above-mentioned carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b). The splittable sea-island composite fiber can be produced by a normal spinning method.
まず、ポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマーとフェノール樹脂とを同時に溶剤に溶解して、易割繊性海島複合繊維の紡糸原液とする。または、ポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマーを溶剤に溶解して得られる紡糸原液と、フェノール樹脂を溶剤に溶解して得られる紡糸原液とを、スタティックミキサー等で混合し、易割繊性海島複合繊維の紡糸原液としてもよい。溶剤としては、ジメチルアミド、ジメチルホルムアミド、ジメチルスルフォキシドなどの有機溶剤を用いることができる。紡糸原液は、ポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマーとフェノール樹脂の合計ポリマー濃度で12〜30質量%に調整することが好ましい。 First, a polyacrylonitrile-based polymer and a phenol resin are simultaneously dissolved in a solvent to obtain a spinning dope for an easily splittable sea-island composite fiber. Alternatively, a spinning stock solution obtained by dissolving a polyacrylonitrile-based polymer in a solvent and a spinning stock solution obtained by dissolving a phenol resin in a solvent are mixed with a static mixer, etc. It is good. As the solvent, organic solvents such as dimethylamide, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and the like can be used. The spinning dope is preferably adjusted to 12 to 30% by mass with the total polymer concentration of the polyacrylonitrile-based polymer and the phenol resin.
次いで、得られた紡糸原液を、ノズルより紡糸し、適宜、湿熱延伸、洗浄、乾燥および乾熱延伸を施こすことで、易割繊性海島複合繊維を得ることができる。紡糸方法としては、一般的にアクリル繊維の製造に用いられる湿式法、乾湿式法、乾式法のいずれも用いることができるが、紡糸口金より紡糸原液を凝固浴に吐出し凝固させる湿式法が好ましい。紡糸口金の孔形状は、丸型であることが好ましい。凝固糸は、引き続き、洗浄、延伸および乾燥の各工程を経ることが好ましい。なお、全延伸倍率は1.5〜4.0倍の間に設定されることが好ましい。全延伸倍率を1.5倍以上とすることで、凝固浴での糸切れが起きなくなり、工程通過性が良好となる。また、全延伸倍率を4.0倍以下とすることで、繊維の配向が抑制され割繊性が良好となる。 Subsequently, the obtained spinning dope is spun from a nozzle and subjected to wet heat drawing, washing, drying and dry heat drawing as appropriate, whereby an easily split sea-island composite fiber can be obtained. As the spinning method, any of a wet method, a dry-wet method, and a dry method that are generally used for the production of acrylic fibers can be used. . The hole shape of the spinneret is preferably a round shape. It is preferable that the coagulated yarn is subsequently subjected to washing, drawing and drying steps. The total draw ratio is preferably set between 1.5 and 4.0 times. By setting the total draw ratio to 1.5 times or more, yarn breakage does not occur in the coagulation bath, and process passability is improved. Moreover, by setting the total draw ratio to 4.0 times or less, the fiber orientation is suppressed and the splitting property is improved.
こうして、ポリアクリロニトリル系ポリマー/フェノール樹脂からなり、叩解によってフィブリル化する易割繊性海島複合繊維を得ることができる。 Thus, an easily split sea-island composite fiber made of polyacrylonitrile-based polymer / phenolic resin and fibrillated by beating can be obtained.

<Process for producing precursor sheet (1)>
As a method for producing a precursor sheet, a wet method in which a short carbon fiber (A) and a short carbon fiber precursor fiber (b) are dispersed in a liquid medium to make paper, a short carbon fiber (A) and carbon in air A paper making method such as a dry method in which the fiber precursor short fibers (b) are dispersed and deposited can be applied, but a wet method is preferred from the viewpoint of high sheet uniformity. In order to help the carbon short fibers (A) to open into single fibers and prevent the opened single fibers from refocusing, the carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b) are used and necessary. Accordingly, wet papermaking can be performed using an organic polymer compound as a binder. The organic polymer compound has a role as a binder (glue) that holds the components together in the precursor sheet containing the short carbon fibers (A) and the short carbon fiber precursor fibers (b ′). However, since there are many entanglements between the short carbon fiber (A) and the short carbon fiber precursor fiber (b ′), it is possible to form a sheet without using an organic polymer compound.
炭素短繊維(A)および炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)を分散させる媒体としては、例えば、水、アルコールなど、炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)が溶解しない媒体が挙げられるが、生産性の観点から、水が好ましい。 Examples of the medium in which the carbon short fibers (A) and the carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b) are dispersed include a medium in which the carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b) are not dissolved, such as water and alcohol. From the viewpoint of water, water is preferable.
炭素短繊維(A)と、炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)と、有機高分子化合物とを混合する方法としては、水中で攪拌分散させる方法、これらを直接混ぜ込む方法が挙げられるが、均一に分散させる観点から、水中で拡散分散させる方法が好ましい。炭素短繊維(A)と炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)を、有機高分子化合物を混合し、抄紙して前駆体シートを製造することにより、前駆体シートの強度が向上する。また、その製造途中で、前駆体シートから炭素短繊維(A)が剥離し、炭素短繊維(A)の配向が変化することを防止することができる。有機高分子化合物としては、ポリビニルアルコール(PVA)、ポリ酢酸ビニルなどを用いることができる。特に、抄紙工程での結着力に優れ、炭素短繊維の脱落が少ないことから、ポリビニルアルコールが好ましい。本発明では、有機高分子化合物を繊維形状にして用いることも可能である。 Examples of the method of mixing the carbon short fiber (A), the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b), and the organic polymer compound include a method of stirring and dispersing in water, and a method of directly mixing these, From the viewpoint of dispersing in water, a method of diffusing and dispersing in water is preferred. The strength of the precursor sheet is improved by mixing a short carbon fiber (A) and a short carbon fiber precursor fiber (b) with an organic polymer compound and making a paper to produce a precursor sheet. Moreover, it can prevent that the carbon short fiber (A) peels from a precursor sheet | seat during the manufacture, and the orientation of a carbon short fiber (A) changes. As the organic polymer compound, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl acetate, or the like can be used. In particular, polyvinyl alcohol is preferred because it has excellent binding power in the paper making process and the short carbon fibers are less likely to fall off. In the present invention, it is also possible to use an organic polymer compound in the form of a fiber.
前駆体シートは、連続法とバッチ法のいずれによっても製造できるが、前駆体シートの生産性および機械的強度の観点から、連続法で製造することが好ましい。 The precursor sheet can be produced by either a continuous method or a batch method, but it is preferably produced by a continuous method from the viewpoint of the productivity and mechanical strength of the precursor sheet.
前駆体シートの目付は、10〜200g/m2程度であることが好ましい。また、前駆体シートの厚みは、20〜400μm程度であることが好ましい。 The basis weight of the precursor sheet is preferably about 10 to 200 g / m2. Moreover, it is preferable that the thickness of a precursor sheet | seat is about 20-400 micrometers.
<炭素化処理する工程(2)>
前駆体シートは、そのまま炭素化処理することができ、加熱加圧成型後に炭素化処理することもでき、加熱加圧成型後の前駆体シートを酸化処理した後に炭素化処理することもできる。炭素短繊維(A)を炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)で融着させ、かつ炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)を炭素化して3次元網目状炭素繊維(B)とすることより、得られる多孔質電極基材の機械的強度および導電性が高くなる。
<Step of carbonization treatment (2)>
The precursor sheet can be carbonized as it is, can be carbonized after heat-pressure molding, or can be carbonized after oxidation treatment of the precursor sheet after heat-pressure molding. By fusing the carbon short fiber (A) with the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b ′) and carbonizing the carbon fiber precursor short fiber (b ′) to obtain a three-dimensional network carbon fiber (B). Thus, the mechanical strength and conductivity of the obtained porous electrode substrate are increased.
炭素化処理は、得られる多孔質電極基材の導電性を高めるために、不活性ガス中で行うことが好ましい。炭素化処理は、通常1000℃以上の温度で行なわれる。炭素化処理する温度範囲は、1000〜3000℃が好ましく、1000〜2200℃がより好ましい。炭素化処理を行う時間は、例えば10分〜1時間程度である。また、炭素化処理の前に、300〜800℃の程度の不活性雰囲気での焼成による前処理を行うことができる。 The carbonization treatment is preferably performed in an inert gas in order to increase the conductivity of the obtained porous electrode substrate. The carbonization treatment is usually performed at a temperature of 1000 ° C. or higher. 1000-3000 degreeC is preferable and, as for the temperature range which carbonizes, 1000-2200 degreeC is more preferable. The time for performing the carbonization treatment is, for example, about 10 minutes to 1 hour. Moreover, the pretreatment by baking in an inert atmosphere of about 300 to 800 ° C. can be performed before the carbonization treatment.
連続的に製造された前駆体シートを炭素化処理する場合は、製造コスト低減化の観点から、前駆体シートの全長にわたって連続で炭素化処理を行うことが好ましい。多孔質電極基材が長尺であれば、多孔質電極基材の生産性が高くなり、かつその後のMEA製造も連続で行うことができるので、燃料電池の製造コストを低減できる。また、多孔質電極基材や燃料電池の生産性および製造コスト低減化の観点から、製造された多孔質電極基材を連続的に巻き取ることが好ましい。 When carbonizing the continuously manufactured precursor sheet, it is preferable to perform the carbonizing process continuously over the entire length of the precursor sheet from the viewpoint of reducing the manufacturing cost. If the porous electrode base material is long, the productivity of the porous electrode base material becomes high, and subsequent MEA production can be performed continuously, so that the manufacturing cost of the fuel cell can be reduced. Moreover, it is preferable to wind up the manufactured porous electrode base material continuously from a viewpoint of productivity and reduction of manufacturing cost of a porous electrode base material and a fuel cell.
<加熱加圧成型する工程(3)>
炭素短繊維(A)を炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)で融着させ、かつ多孔質電極基材の厚みムラを低減させるという観点から、炭素化処理の前に、前駆体シートを200℃未満の温度で加熱加圧成型することが好ましい。加熱加圧成型は、前駆体シートを均等に加熱加圧成型できる技術であれば、いかなる技術も適用できる。例えば、前駆体シートの両面に平滑な剛板を当てて熱プレスする方法、連続ベルトプレス装置を用いる方法が挙げられる。
<Step of heat and pressure molding (3)>
From the viewpoint of fusing the carbon short fibers (A) with the carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b ′) and reducing the thickness unevenness of the porous electrode substrate, the precursor sheet is 200 It is preferable to perform heat and pressure molding at a temperature of less than ° C. Any technique can be applied to the heat and pressure molding as long as the technique can uniformly heat and mold the precursor sheet. For example, a method in which a smooth rigid plate is applied to both surfaces of the precursor sheet and heat-pressed, and a method using a continuous belt press apparatus are included.
連続的に製造された前駆体シートを加熱加圧成型する場合には、連続ベルトプレス装置を用いる方法が好ましい。これによって、炭素化処理を連続で行うことができる。連続ベルトプレス装置におけるプレス方法としては、ロールプレスによりベルトに線圧で圧力を加える方法、液圧ヘッドプレスにより面圧でプレスする方法などが挙げられるが、後者の方がより平滑な多孔質電極基材が得られるという点で好ましい。 A method using a continuous belt press apparatus is preferable when the continuously produced precursor sheet is heat-press molded. Thereby, the carbonization process can be performed continuously. Examples of the pressing method in the continuous belt press apparatus include a method of applying pressure to the belt with a roll press using a linear pressure, a method of pressing with a surface pressure using a hydraulic head press, etc. The latter is a smoother porous electrode. It is preferable at the point that a base material is obtained.
加熱加圧成型における加熱温度は、前駆体シートの表面を効果的に平滑にするために、200℃未満が好ましく、120〜190℃がより好ましい。成型圧力は特に限定されないが、前駆体シート中における炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)の含有比率が多い場合は、成型圧が低くても容易に前駆体シートの表面を平滑にすることができる。このとき必要以上にプレス圧を高くすると、加熱加圧成型時に炭素短繊維(A)が破壊されるという問題や、多孔質電極基材の組織が緻密になりすぎるという問題等が生じる可能性がある。成型圧力は、20kPa〜10MPa程度が好ましい。加熱加圧成型の時間は、例えば30秒〜10分とすることができる。 In order to effectively smooth the surface of the precursor sheet, the heating temperature in the heat and pressure molding is preferably less than 200 ° C, and more preferably 120 to 190 ° C. The molding pressure is not particularly limited, but when the content ratio of the carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b ′) in the precursor sheet is large, the surface of the precursor sheet can be easily smoothed even if the molding pressure is low. it can. If the press pressure is increased more than necessary at this time, there may be a problem that the short carbon fibers (A) are destroyed at the time of heat and pressure molding, a problem that the structure of the porous electrode substrate is too dense, or the like. is there. The molding pressure is preferably about 20 kPa to 10 MPa. The time for heat and pressure molding can be, for example, 30 seconds to 10 minutes.
前駆体シートを2枚の剛板に挟んでまたは連続ベルトプレス装置で加熱加圧成型する時は、剛板やベルトに炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)などが付着しないようにあらかじめ剥離剤を塗っておくことや、前駆体シートと剛板やベルトとの間に離型紙を挟むことが好ましい。 When the precursor sheet is sandwiched between two rigid plates or heated and pressed with a continuous belt press, a release agent is used in advance to prevent carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b ') from adhering to the rigid plate or belt. It is preferable to coat the release sheet or to sandwich the release paper between the precursor sheet and the rigid plate or belt.
<酸化処理する工程(4)>
炭素短繊維(A)を炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)で良好に融着させ、かつ炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)の炭素化率を向上させるという観点から、加熱加圧成型した前駆体シートを、200℃以上300℃未満の温度で酸化処理することが好ましい。酸化処理の温度は、240〜270℃がより好ましい。酸化処理の時間は、例えば1分間〜2時間とすることができる。
<Oxidation process (4)>
From the viewpoint of successfully fusing the carbon short fibers (A) with the carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b ′) and improving the carbonization rate of the carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b ′), heat-press molding The precursor sheet thus obtained is preferably oxidized at a temperature of 200 ° C. or higher and lower than 300 ° C. The temperature of the oxidation treatment is more preferably 240 to 270 ° C. The oxidation treatment time can be, for example, 1 minute to 2 hours.
酸化処理としては、加熱多孔板を用いた加圧直接加熱による連続酸化処理、または加熱ロール等を用いた間欠的な加圧直接加熱による連続酸化処理が、低コスト、かつ炭素短繊維(A)を炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b’)で融着させることができるという点で好ましい。連続的に製造された前駆体シートを酸化処理する場合、前駆体シートの全長にわたって連続で酸化処理することが好ましい。これによって、炭素化処理を連続で行うことができる。 As oxidation treatment, continuous oxidation treatment by direct pressure heating using a heated perforated plate or continuous oxidation treatment by intermittent direct pressure heating using a heating roll or the like is low in cost and short carbon fiber (A) Is preferable in that it can be fused with the carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b ′). When oxidizing the precursor sheet manufactured continuously, it is preferable to continuously oxidize the entire length of the precursor sheet. Thereby, the carbonization process can be performed continuously.

(比較例1)
炭素繊維前駆体短繊維(b)を用いずに、有機高分子化合物として、平均繊維長が3mmのポリビニルアルコール(PVA)短繊維(クラレ(株)製、商品名:VPB105−1)100部を用いたこと以外は、実施例2と同様にして、多孔質電極基材を得た。
(Comparative Example 1)
Without using carbon fiber precursor short fibers (b), as an organic polymer compound, 100 parts of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) short fibers (Kuraray Co., Ltd., trade name: VPB105-1) having an average fiber length of 3 mm A porous electrode substrate was obtained in the same manner as Example 2 except that it was used.
得られた多孔質電極基材においては、PVAがほとんど炭素化しないため、炭素短繊維(A)同士が接合されておらず、シート状の構造を維持することができなかった。 In the obtained porous electrode substrate, since PVA hardly carbonizes, the short carbon fibers (A) are not joined to each other, and a sheet-like structure cannot be maintained.
(比較例2)
炭素短繊維(A)を用いずに、有機高分子化合物としての平均繊維長が3mmのポリビニルアルコール(PVA)短繊維(クラレ(株)製、商品名:VBP105−1)16部を用い、前駆体シートの目付を58g/m2としたこと以外は、実施例2と同様にして、多孔質電極基材を得た。
