Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of power generation of new energy fuel cells, and particularly relates to gas diffusion layer slurry and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
With the further promotion of the national air pollution prevention and control force, the automobile industry has higher and higher requirements on low carbonization, and the fuel cell automobile can adopt clean hydrogen production routes such as wind energy and solar energy by virtue of the excellent hydrogen energy industry route, and hydrogen energy is effectively converted into power through an interface chemical reaction, so that zero carbon emission of the automobile is realized. Compared with the traditional fuel generator, the fuel cell partially converts Gibbs free energy in fuel chemical energy into electric energy, is not limited by Carnot cycle effect, and therefore has high efficiency. The hydrogen is used as fuel, and the product has no greenhouse gas emission and is eco-friendly. With the continuous acceleration of the industrialization process of fuel cells, the fuel cells are widely used in the fields of automobiles, ships and rail traffic, and the automobile field is more characterized in that the technical route of the fuel cells and the technical route of the power cells are combined to be used as a replacement strategy of the future automobile energy. The technical routes of fuel cells are laid out by domestic vehicles and enterprises in a dispute, and the development of key technologies of the domestic vehicles and enterprises is strived to break through.
The gas diffusion layer is used as a component in a fuel cell stack and is used for providing an effective transmission channel of reaction gas, product water and electrons, and meanwhile, the gas diffusion layer optimized by the microporous layer can effectively protect a catalyst layer and a proton membrane, reduce contact resistance and effectively block transmission and conduction of electrons. The gas diffusion layer with excellent performance meets the requirements of simple production process, continuous production, good air permeability and small resistance.
CN112563516A discloses a gas diffusion layer of an environment-friendly fuel cell and a preparation method thereof, relating to the field of fuel cells; the fuel cell gas diffusion layer comprises a solvent and gas diffusion layer slurry; the gas diffusion layer slurry comprises a carbon material, a functional material, polytetrafluoroethylene hydrophobic resin dispersion liquid, a water-soluble polymer dispersant, a thickening agent and a surfactant. The preparation method comprises the following steps: A. fully dispersing the gas diffusion layer slurry into a solvent; B. coating the slurry of the gas diffusion layer on a substrate supporting layer to obtain a microporous layer coating; C. two-stage roasting heat treatment is carried out. However, the method for preparing the gas diffusion layer has high cost and is not beneficial to large-scale production and application, and the uniformity of the prepared gas diffusion layer is poor.
CN112490454A discloses a method for preparing a gas diffusion layer of a hydrogen fuel cell, comprising the steps of: weighing chopped carbon fibers with a certain mass concentration, adding the chopped carbon fibers into dispersion liquid for high-speed shearing dispersion, then adding a certain amount of bonding liquid for continuing high-speed shearing dispersion, finally preparing high-dispersion carbon fiber slurry by stirring, grinding or ball milling, weighing a certain proportion of conductive carbon black, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) emulsion, water and isopropanol for fully stirring, then ultrasonically dispersing the mixed solution for 1-3 hours to prepare microporous layer slurry A, weighing a certain proportion of acetylene black, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) emulsion, water and isopropanol for fully stirring, and then ultrasonically dispersing the mixed solution for 1-3 hours to prepare microporous layer slurry B. The gas diffusion layer prepared by the method has poor conductivity and high resistance, and can affect the performance of the lithium battery.
CN109346731A discloses a method for preparing a gas diffusion layer for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, the gas diffusion layer is composed of a support layer and a microporous layer, the microporous layer is prepared by electrostatic spinning, and the steps are as follows: (1) mixing conductive carbon black, a water repellent, a high molecular polymer and a dispersing agent, and performing ultrasonic or mechanical stirring to form uniform spinning solution; (2) pouring the spinning solution prepared in the step (1) into an injection tube for electrostatic spinning, covering a porous supporting layer on a negative electrode receiving plate, and collecting spinning fibers; (3) and (3) placing the spinning fiber and the porous support layer into an N-filled oven, and sintering for 0.5-2h at the temperature of 150-. However, the method needs heat treatment, which causes higher requirements on process equipment using the method and larger energy consumption, and does not meet the requirements on energy conservation and emission reduction.
Because the existing preparation methods of the gas diffusion layer slurry have certain defects, the development of a gas diffusion layer product which meets the continuous production requirement, has uniform slurry, simple preparation and strong conductivity and a preparation method thereof are very important.

(7) As can be seen from a comparison of example 1 with comparative examples 6 to 7, the viscosity of the slurry for the gas diffusion layer in the present invention affects the performance of the gas diffusion layer; when the viscosity of the gas diffusion layer slurry is low, poor performance of the gas diffusion layer slurry is caused, thereby causing poor performance of the gas diffusion layer; when the viscosity of the gas diffusion layer slurry is high, the preparation cost of the gas diffusion layer slurry is high.
In conclusion, the slurry of the gas diffusion layer provided by the invention has the advantages of stable slurry performance, uniform slurry, strong conductivity, small resistance and high porosity. By the coupling addition of multiple conductive agents and the slurry formula design, the conductivity of the gas diffusion layer is greatly enhanced, and the superconducting performance requirement of the next generation gas diffusion layer is met; the production and preparation method has low cost and simple process, and can meet the continuous production requirement.
