Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种燃料电池,尤其是指一种薄型化的平板式直接甲醇燃料电池的结构及其制造方法。The invention relates to a fuel cell, in particular to a structure of a thinned flat direct methanol fuel cell and a manufacturing method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
直接甲醇燃料电池(Direct Methanol Fuel Cell,DMFC)是一种利用液态或气态的稀释甲醇水溶液作为燃料,通过电化学程序将化学能转换成电力的发电装置。与传统的发电方式相比较,直接甲醇燃料电池具有低污染、低噪音、高能量密度以及较高的能量转换效率等优点,是具有前瞻性的干净能源,可应用的领域包括家用发电系统、电子产品、运输工具、军用设备、太空工业等。Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) is a power generation device that uses liquid or gaseous diluted methanol aqueous solution as fuel to convert chemical energy into electricity through an electrochemical process. Compared with traditional power generation methods, direct methanol fuel cells have the advantages of low pollution, low noise, high energy density, and high energy conversion efficiency. Products, vehicles, military equipment, space industry, etc.
直接甲醇燃料电池的运作原理是以甲醇水溶液在阳极触媒(催化剂)层进行氧化反应,产生氢离子(H+)、电子(e-)以及二氧化碳(CO2),其中氢离子经由电解质传递至阴极,而电子经由外部电路传递至负载作功后再传递至阴极,此时供给阴极端的氧气会与氢离子及电子在阴极触媒层进行还原反应,并产生水。The operating principle of a direct methanol fuel cell is to oxidize methanol aqueous solution on the anode catalyst (catalyst) layer to generate hydrogen ions (H + ), electrons (e - ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), in which the hydrogen ions are transferred to the cathode through the electrolyte , and the electrons are transferred to the load through the external circuit to perform work and then transferred to the cathode. At this time, the oxygen supplied to the cathode will undergo a reduction reaction with hydrogen ions and electrons in the cathode catalyst layer, and produce water.
燃料电池一般都是由数个基本单元所组成。由于每个基本单元所能提供的电压很小,因此在应用时必须串联多的基本单元,以达到所需要的操作电压输出。Fuel cells are generally composed of several basic units. Since the voltage that each basic unit can provide is very small, many basic units must be connected in series in order to achieve the required operating voltage output.
图1以及图2分别显示传统技艺的平板式直接甲醇燃料电池10的上视平面图以及沿着图1中切线I-I所示的剖面结构示意图。如图1与图2所示,传统的平板式直接甲醇燃料电池10包括有一双极板组件12以及一甲醇燃料储存槽14。双极板组件12包括上框架51、下框架52、阴极电极网121、复数个经过绕折处理的双极金属电极网122、123、124、125,以及阳极电极网126,以及夹设于两相对阴阳电极网之间的复数个质子交换膜件(Membrane Electrode Assembly,MEA)131、132、133、134、135。上框架51、下框架52、阴极电极网121、复数个经过绕折处理的双极金属电极网122、123、124、125,以及阳极电极网126以交互堆栈夹设的方式并以防漏胶或环氧树脂53将质子交换膜件131、132、133、134、135固设其中,从而构成串联的五个基本电池单元21、22、23、24及25。阴极电极网121、复数个经过绕折处理的双极金属电极网122、123、124、125,以及阳极电极网126是以钛金属网加上镀金处理。FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 respectively show a top plan view of a flat-plate direct
传统的平板式直接甲醇燃料电池10包括串联的五个基本电池单元21、22、23、24及25,其中电池单元21由阴极电极网121、质子交换膜件131与双极金属电极网122所构成;电池单元22由双极金属电极网122(作为电池单元22的阴极)、质子交换膜件132与双极金属电极网123(作为电池单元22的阳极)所构成;电池单元23由双极金属电极网123(作为电池单元23的阴极)、质子交换膜件133与双极金属电极网124(作为电池单元23的阳极)所构成;电池单元24由双极金属电极网124(作为电池单元24的阴极)、质子交换膜件134与双极金属电极网125(作为电池单元24的阳极)所构成;电池单元25由双极金属电极网125(作为电池单元25的阴极)、质子交换膜件135与阳极电极网126所构成。以每个基本电池单元能提供0.6伏特电压计算,前述的五个串联的传统平板式直接甲醇燃料电池10即可供应0.6×5=3.0伏特的电压。The traditional planar direct
前述的传统平板式直接甲醇燃料电池10的缺点在于其双极板组件12的上、下框架51、52,由FR4等玻璃强化树脂材料所构成,其厚度显然过厚而显得笨重,并无法达到进一步可携式电子产品日益薄型化的要求。而前述双极板组件12的电极网121、122、123、124、125以及126都是以钛金属网加上镀金处理,成本十分昂贵。再者,传统平板式直接甲醇燃料电池10的复数个经过绕折处理的双极金属电极网122、123、124、125并非整合在上、下框架上,而需另外预先以人工处理凹折,十分麻烦费时,而不易达到量产规模。The disadvantage of the aforementioned conventional flat-plate direct

以下,继续以图4至图12说明本发明平板式薄型化的直接甲醇燃料电池20结构中的整合式薄型化阴极电极板200以及整合式薄型化阳极电极板500的制造方法。Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the integrated thinned
首先,请参阅图4,提供一铜箔基板(Copper Clad Laminate,简称CCL)30,其厚度仅数厘米,包括一基板32、覆于基板32上表面的铜层34以及覆于基板32下表面的铜层36。At first, please refer to Fig. 4, provide a copper clad substrate (Copper Clad Laminate, be called for short CCL) 30, its thickness is only a few centimeters, comprise a
如图5所示,在将铜箔基板30裁制切割成所需尺寸大小后,于铜箔基板30上的预定电极区域进行钻孔制程,以于铜箔基板30上形成复数个贯穿铜层34、基板32以及铜层36的穿孔42。根据本发明的优选实施例,所有穿孔42的总面积(开孔率)需占该预定电极区域50%以上。As shown in FIG. 5 , after the
接着,如图6所示,于铜箔基板30上以及穿孔42内沉积一化学铜层46。化学铜层46是以化学方式而非电镀方式沉积,因此会非选择性地均匀沉积在铜箔基板30上以及穿孔42内壁。Next, as shown in FIG. 6 , an
如图7所示,在铜箔基板30上以光刻胶(干膜)48定义出预定电极区域49。以制作图3中的整合式薄型化阴极电极板200为例,光刻胶48定义的预定电极区域49即为阴极电极区域201~205,且光刻胶48同时定义出导线250~254以及正极接点261(图7未示)。图3中的整合式薄型化阴极电极板200,导电通孔211~215是与预定电极区域内的穿孔42同时制作完成。若以制作图3中的整合式薄型化阳极电极板500为例,则光刻胶48定义的预定电极区域49即为阳极电极区域501~505,且光刻胶48同时定义出接点511~515以及该接点与阳极电极区域之间的连接区域(图7未示)。As shown in FIG. 7 , a
如图8所示,接着进行电镀制程,以光刻胶48为电镀阻剂,在未被光刻胶48覆盖的区域,包括预定电极区域49内,电镀一层铜层62以及在铜层62上镀上一层锡铅层64。As shown in Figure 8, then carry out electroplating process, use
如图9所示,接着将光刻胶48剥除。As shown in FIG. 9, the
如图10所示,进行一铜蚀刻制程,将未被锡铅层64覆盖的区域内的化学铜层46以及铜箔基板30上的铜层34与36蚀除。然后,再进行另一蚀刻制程,蚀除锡铅层64,暴露出铜层62,这样即初步完成如图3中整合式薄型化阳极电极板500的制造。As shown in FIG. 10 , a copper etching process is performed to etch away the
而若是制造图3中的整合式薄型化阴极电极板200,则需继续进行图11以及图12的步骤。如图11所示,为避免后续焊锡过程中对基板损伤或造成短路,需再涂布一防焊阻剂(俗称为绿漆)72。该防焊阻剂为印刷电路板工业常用的,其是以光感材料构成,可用传统黄光微影定义出电极板200上需要被保护的区域。However, if the integrated thinned
接着,如图12所示,为避免整合式薄型化阴极电极板200在长期接触空气时被氧化,可再进行一电镀制程,于电极上进一步镀上一层镍金保护层74。Next, as shown in FIG. 12 , in order to prevent the integrated thinned
