Description
本新型為一種膜電極組,係指一種用於質子交換膜燃料電池的膜電極組。The present invention is a membrane electrode group, which refers to a membrane electrode group used in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell.
質子交換膜燃料電池(PEMFC,Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell)為現有技術中其中一種燃料電池,其膜電極組(MEA,Membrane Electrode Assembling)一般由內而外具有質子交換膜(PEM,Proton Exchange Membrane)、陽極/陰極觸媒層及氣體擴散層(GDL,Gas Diffusion Layer),氣體通過氣體擴散層到達陽極觸媒層,經陽極觸媒層作用而反應為氫離子及電子,氫離子通過質子交換膜抵達另一側的陰極觸媒層,電子則經陽極的導電板收集,並因電位差而流向陰極的導電板,故而形成電流。Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC, Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) is one of the fuel cells in the prior art, and its membrane electrode group (MEA, Membrane Electrode Assembling) generally has a proton exchange membrane (PEM, Proton Exchange Membrane) from inside to outside 1. Anode/cathode catalyst layer and gas diffusion layer (GDL, Gas Diffusion Layer) Reaching the cathode catalyst layer on the other side, electrons are collected by the conductive plate of the anode, and flow to the conductive plate of the cathode due to the potential difference, so a current is formed.
由於質子交換膜的厚度越大,則放電時的阻抗越大,故現有技術中無不追求使質子交換膜越薄越好,以提高放電效能。然而,質子交換膜的厚度越薄,將導致其本身的強度下降,當進行膜電極組的組裝時,質子交換膜容易在過程中被拉伸、穿刺而造成損壞。在專利CN103119711A號公開案中,雖然已提出利用設置邊框於質子交換膜邊緣來提高膜電極組的強度,且組裝時不影響主要的活性區域,但採用此方法時,氣體擴散層須設法固定在活性區周邊的邊框上,如此一來將增加氣體擴散層與觸媒層和質子交換膜之組合之間的接觸電阻,但若採用薄形邊框來減少接觸電阻,則會增加邊框組裝的困難度。Since the greater the thickness of the proton exchange membrane, the greater the impedance during discharge. Therefore, in the prior art, it is always sought to make the proton exchange membrane as thin as possible to improve the discharge efficiency. However, the thinner the thickness of the proton exchange membrane, the lower its strength. When the membrane electrode assembly is assembled, the proton exchange membrane is easily stretched and punctured during the process to cause damage. In the publication of Patent No. CN103119711A, although it has been proposed to use a frame on the edge of the proton exchange membrane to improve the strength of the membrane electrode assembly, and does not affect the main active area during assembly, but when using this method, the gas diffusion layer must be fixed at The frame around the active area will increase the contact resistance between the combination of the gas diffusion layer, the catalyst layer and the proton exchange membrane, but if a thin frame is used to reduce the contact resistance, it will increase the difficulty of frame assembly .
有鑑於此,本新型係在加強膜電極組強度且減少接觸電阻的前提下,改善前述組裝上的問題。In view of this, the present invention improves the aforementioned assembly problems on the premise of enhancing the strength of the membrane electrode assembly and reducing the contact resistance.
為達到上述之新型目的,本新型係提供一種一種質子交換膜燃料電池的膜電極組,其包括: 一觸媒塗佈薄膜; 二階梯狀邊框組,其分別設於該觸媒塗佈薄膜的兩側之邊緣,該觸媒塗佈薄膜夾持於所述階梯狀邊框組之間,各階梯狀邊框組包含一內框及一外框,該內框具有一第一孔,該外框具有一第二孔,該第一孔之寬度小於該第二孔之寬度; 二氣體擴散層,其分別設於該觸媒塗佈薄膜的兩側,該觸媒塗佈薄膜夾持於所述氣體擴散層之間,且所述氣體擴散層設置於所述第一孔與所述第二孔中,所述氣體擴散層搭接於所述內框之外表面。 In order to achieve the above-mentioned new purpose, the present invention provides a membrane electrode assembly for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, which includes: A catalyst coated film; Two stepped frame groups, which are respectively disposed on the edges of both sides of the catalyst coated film, the catalyst coated film is sandwiched between the stepped frame groups, each stepped frame group includes an inner frame and An outer frame, the inner frame has a first hole, the outer frame has a second hole, the width of the first hole is smaller than the width of the second hole; Two gas diffusion layers, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the catalyst coating film, the catalyst coating film is sandwiched between the gas diffusion layers, and the gas diffusion layer is disposed on the first hole and In the second hole, the gas diffusion layer overlaps the outer surface of the inner frame.
本新型的優點在於,藉由藉由氣體擴散層搭接於薄形內框之外表面的特性,利用內框的固定厚度與突出長度來將氣體擴散層與觸媒塗佈薄膜之間的空隙降至最低,來降低設置邊框時所增加於氣體擴散層和觸媒塗佈薄膜之間的接觸電阻,並利用內框及外框的搭配來提供足夠的邊框剛性,則使本新型之結構能提供兼具組裝便利及低接觸電阻之特點。The advantage of the present invention is that the gap between the gas diffusion layer and the catalyst-coated film is utilized by the characteristic that the gas diffusion layer overlaps the outer surface of the thin inner frame and the fixed thickness and protruding length of the inner frame Minimize to reduce the contact resistance added between the gas diffusion layer and the catalyst coating film when setting the frame, and use the combination of the inner frame and the outer frame to provide sufficient frame rigidity, so that the new structure can be Provide the characteristics of both convenient assembly and low contact resistance.

請參閱圖1及圖2所示,本新型包含有一觸媒塗佈薄膜10、二階梯狀邊框組20及二氣體擴散層30。Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2. The present invention includes a catalyst coated
該觸媒塗佈薄膜10包含有一質子交換膜及其兩側的觸媒層。The
所述階梯狀邊框組20分別設於該觸媒塗佈薄膜10的兩側之邊緣,以夾持該觸媒塗佈薄膜10於所述階梯狀邊框組20之間,各階梯狀邊框組20包含一內框21及一外框22,該內框21具有一第一孔211,該外框22具有一第二孔221,該第一孔211與該第二孔221重疊以露出該觸媒塗布薄膜10之大部區域,該第一孔211之寬度小於該第二孔221之寬度,則使得內框21之內側緣較外框22之內側緣突出一第一長度L,在一實施例中,第一長度L可為0.5至10毫米(mm),而該內框21之厚度H可為10至50微米(μm)。在一實施例中,所述內框21與所述外框22的材料可為烴類聚合物、氟碳聚合物、橡膠、或其他熱塑、熱固性塑料,例如:PET、PEN、PI、PTFE等;或者具網狀纖維網為骨幹的強化高分子材料,而用以黏著內框21與外框22、或黏著內框21與觸媒塗佈薄膜10之黏著劑可為熱塑、熱固樹脂、壓敏黏著劑、熱熔黏著劑等材料,前述材料僅為例示說明,本新型並不限於此。在一實施例中,所述內框21須選用較相容於該觸媒塗佈薄膜10的材料,而所述內框21可採用與所述外框22不同的材料。The
所述氣體擴散層30分別設於該觸媒塗佈薄膜10的兩側,以夾持該觸媒塗佈薄膜10於所述氣體擴散層30之間,且所述氣體擴散層30設置於所述第一孔211與所述第二孔221中,所述氣體擴散層30搭接於所述內框21之外表面212,並貼靠於所述外框22之第二孔221的內壁面222。The
則藉由氣體擴散層30搭接於內框21之外表面212的結構,使得氣體擴散層30夾持觸媒塗佈薄膜10的力可分散於內框21上,以避免應力集中現象的產生,則使得設置階梯狀邊框組20不對觸媒塗佈薄膜10的構造形成不良影響,而達到在不對觸媒塗佈薄膜10造成損壞的前提下,仍能提高膜電極組整體強度的目的。By the structure that the
進一步而言,由於氣體擴散層30搭接於內框21之外表面212的設計,則無可避免的將在內框21之第一孔211的內壁面213與位於第一孔211中的氣體擴散層30之間形成一間隙G,該間隙G雖減少了該氣體擴散層30與該觸媒塗佈薄膜10的接觸面積,但可透過有效控制該內框21的厚度H以及該第一長度L來將該間隙G的影響降至最低,因膜電極組的整體厚度將可能視不同應用而需要不同厚度的膜電極組,則此時膜電極組整體所需的厚度可由調整外框22的厚度來加以改變,而不需改變該內框21的厚度H以及該第一長度L。再者,在量產化的考量下,外框22之厚度可標準化,則可藉由堆疊多個外框22來達成所需的膜電極組之厚度。Further, due to the design that the
本新型之組裝方法包含以下步驟:The new assembly method includes the following steps:
首先,提供一內框21(如圖3A及圖3B所示),再將一外框22設置於內框21之外表面212(如圖4A及圖4B所示),重複前述步驟以製作多個階梯狀邊框組20備用。欲組裝膜電極組成品時,取一組階梯狀邊框組20a中設置一氣體擴散層30(如圖5A及圖5B所示),該氣體擴散層30設置於該外框22之第二孔221中,並貼靠於該外框22之第二孔221的內壁面222。接著再將一觸媒塗佈薄膜10設置於該氣體擴散層30及該內框21上(如圖6A及圖6B所示),並將另一階梯狀邊框組20b壓合於該觸媒塗佈薄膜10上(如圖7A及圖7B所示),以將該觸媒塗佈薄膜10夾持於兩個階梯狀邊框組20a、20b之間,再將另一氣體擴散層30設置於該另一組階梯狀邊框組20b之外框22的第二孔221中(如圖8A所示),以將該觸媒塗佈薄膜10夾持於所述氣體擴散層30之間。最後進行壓合製程,使兩側的氣體擴散層30經壓合後變形延伸入該內框21之第一孔211中,且所述氣體擴散層30搭接於該內框21之外表面212,則使得氣體擴散層30進一步夾持於該觸媒塗佈薄膜10之兩側(如圖8B所示)。在一實施例中,係依據所使用的黏著劑性質而決定壓合時採取熱壓製程或冷壓製程。First, provide an inner frame 21 (as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B), and then set an
前述之組裝方法的優點在於藉由預先完成階梯狀邊框組20的結構,組裝時僅須進行觸媒塗佈薄膜10及氣體擴散層30的貼附作業、及氣體擴散層30之壓合作業即可,則可簡化組裝製程而提高組裝便利性。The advantage of the aforementioned assembly method is that by preliminarily completing the structure of the
採用預先成形階梯狀邊框組20的製法亦可如圖9A及圖9B所示,先將預先成形的兩個階梯裝邊框組20a、20b與觸媒塗佈薄膜10組裝後,再與氣體擴散層30加以組裝,並進行壓合作業。As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the pre-formed
另一方面,亦可如圖10A至圖10C所示,不預先成形階梯狀邊框組20而係由內而外將觸媒塗佈薄膜10先與內框21結合、再組裝外框22及氣體擴散層10,最後再進行壓合作業,亦能完成本新型之膜電極組的組裝作業。On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10A to 10C, the catalyst-coated
