摘要: 对用磺化聚苯乙烯(PSSA)膜组装的质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)进行寿命实验,通过高效液相色谱分析PSSA膜电池寿命实验期间阴极和阳极侧的排水量,能谱分析电池寿命实验前后PSSA膜断面S元素含量的分布,红外光谱分析PSSA膜结构的变化,根据分析结果推断出PSSA膜的降解机理.O2在阴极还原时产生H2O2中间产物,H2O2又与电池中微量的金属离子反应产生HO·和HO2·等氧化性自由基,这些自由基进攻PSSA膜α碳上的叔氢而导致膜降解.膜降解主要发生在电池阴极侧,降解过程中苯环和磺酸根同时从PSSA膜上脱离.根据PSSA膜的降解机理设计了PSSA-Nafion复合膜作为PEMFC电解质,25μm厚的Nafion101膜位于电池阴极侧,该复合膜组装的PEMFC稳定操作800h以上电池性能未见明显下降.

Abstract: The lifetime behavior of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) fabricated with polystyenesulfonic acid(PSSA) membrane was investigated in order to present the degradation mechanism of the PSSAmembrane. The water evacuated from the anode and the cathode of the cell during the lifetime experiment was analyzed by the method of high-performance liquid chromatogram. The distribution of Sconcentration in the cross-section of the PSSAmembrane was measured by energy dispersive spectrograph. Infrared spectroscopic measurements were carried out to investigate the structure of the PSSAmembrane before and after the fuel cell experiment. The degradation mechanism of the PSSAmembrane is indicated as that: during the fuel cell operation, the reduction of O2 gas at the cathode proceeds through a peroxide intermediate. H2O2 reacts with the trace metal ions in the cell to form HO·, HO2· and other oxidation radicals, which can chemically attack the tertiary hydrogen at the α-carbon of the PSSAmembrane. The degradation of the PSSAmembrane mainly occurs from the cathode of the cell. The loss of the aromatic ring and the SO3- group simultaneously occurs from the PSSAmembrane. A PSSA-Nafion composite membrane was prepared according to the above-mentioned degradation mechanism of the PSSAmembrane. The Nafion 101 membrane of 25 μm thickness is located at the cathode. The PEMFCwith the PSSA-Nafion composite membrane could be operated steadily for more than 800 hours without significant performance deterioration.
