Definitions
- the present invention relates to a carbon powder for a catalyst, particularly a carbon powder for a catalyst used in a fuel cell, and a catalyst, an electrode catalyst layer, a membrane electrode assembly and a fuel cell using the carbon powder for a catalyst.
- a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) using a proton-conducting polymer electrolyte membrane is lower in temperature than other types of fuel cells such as a solid oxide fuel cell and a molten carbonate fuel cell. Operate. For this reason, the polymer electrolyte fuel cell is expected as a stationary power source or a power source for a moving body such as an automobile, and its practical use has been started.
- an expensive metal catalyst represented by Pt (platinum) or a Pt alloy is used.
- graphitized carbon is used as the carrier for supporting the metal catalyst from the viewpoint of water repellency and corrosion resistance.
- the average lattice spacing d 002 of [002] plane is 0.338 to 0.355 nm
- the specific surface area is 80 to 250 m 2 / g
- the bulk density is 0.30 to 0.
- Patent Document 1 describes that the use of the graphitized carrier is excellent in durability.
- Patent Document 1 Although the carrier described in Patent Document 1 is excellent in the durability of the carrier, there is a problem that the activity decreases with time because the specific surface area is small.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a carbon powder for a catalyst that can suppress a decrease in catalytic activity while maintaining the durability of the support.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a catalyst, an electrode catalyst layer, a membrane electrode assembly, and a fuel cell that are excellent in durability and power generation performance.
- the present inventors solved the above problems by using a carbon powder for catalyst having a specific specific surface area and a D ′ / G intensity ratio as a support. As a result, the present invention has been completed.
- FIG. 1 is a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC); 2 is a solid polymer electrolyte membrane; 3a is an anode catalyst layer; 3c is a cathode catalyst layer; 4a is an anode gas diffusion layer; Cathode gas diffusion layer; 5a anode separator; 5c cathode separator; 6a anode gas channel; 6c cathode gas channel; 7 refrigerant channel; and 10 membrane electrode assembly (MEA) ) Respectively.

以下、触媒層を製造するための好ましい実施形態を記載するが、本発明の技術的範囲は下記の形態のみには限定されない。また、触媒層の各構成要素の材質などの諸条件については、上述した通りであるため、ここでは説明を省略する。
本発明のさらなる実施形態によれば、上記燃料電池用電極触媒層を含む、燃料電池用膜電極接合体および当該燃料電池用膜電極接合体を含む燃料電池が提供される。すなわち、固体高分子電解質膜2、前記電解質膜の一方の側に配置されたカソード触媒層と、前記電解質膜の他方の側に配置されたアノード触媒層と、前記電解質膜2並びに前記アノード触媒層3a及び前記カソード触媒層3cを挟持する一対のガス拡散層(4a,4c)とを有する燃料電池用膜電極接合体が提供される。そしてこの膜電極接合体において、前記カソード触媒層およびアノード触媒層の少なくとも一方が上記に記載した実施形態の触媒層である。
電解質膜は、例えば、図1に示す形態のように固体高分子電解質膜2から構成される。この固体高分子電解質膜2は、PEFC 1の運転時にアノード触媒層3aで生成したプロトンを膜厚方向に沿ってカソード触媒層3cへと選択的に透過させる機能を有する。また、固体高分子電解質膜2は、アノード側に供給される燃料ガスとカソード側に供給される酸化剤ガスとを混合させないための隔壁としての機能をも有する。

セパレータは、固体高分子形燃料電池などの燃料電池の単セルを複数個直列に接続して燃料電池スタックを構成する際に、各セルを電気的に直列に接続する機能を有する。また、セパレータは、燃料ガス、酸化剤ガス、および冷却剤を互に分離する隔壁としての機能も有する。これらの流路を確保するため、上述したように、セパレータのそれぞれにはガス流路および冷却流路が設けられていることが好ましい。セパレータを構成する材料としては、緻密カーボングラファイト、炭素板などのカーボンや、ステンレスなどの金属など、従来公知の材料が適宜制限なく採用できる。セパレータの厚さやサイズ、設けられる各流路の形状やサイズなどは特に限定されず、得られる燃料電池の所望の出力特性などを考慮して適宜決定できる。
