Definitions
- the invention relates to an anode for a membrane-electrode assembly of a direct methanol fuel cell, in which a diffusion gradient for methanol within the anode causes a low methanol concentration to exist at the anode / membrane phase boundary.
- the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) system with an ion exchange membrane as the electrolyte in the membrane electrode assembly (ME) is particularly suitable for the direct electrochemical oxidation of methanol in a fuel cell (DMFC cell).
- DMFC cell fuel cell
- Electrode oxidizes without contributing to electrical power generation. At the same time, the cell voltage drops as a result of the mixed potential formation of the cathode.
- the methanol gets into the working layer of the cathode and lowers the hydrophobicity of the gas transport pores so that they are flooded by the water of reaction. This hinders the transport of oxygen and the cell voltage collapses.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an anode for an ME (membrane electrode assembly) of a DMFC, in which the diffusion of the methanol to the cathode is reduced compared to conventional systems and without a higher area-related resistance the membrane, d. that is, losses in cell voltage arise.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that a concentration gradient for methanol over the predetermined current density on the one hand and the amount of methanol supplied on the other hand can be set within the anode in such a way that a low concentration of methanol arises at the anode / membrane phase boundary, which greatly reduces or almost eliminates the diffusion pressure through the membrane towards the cathode.
- the invention relates to an anode for a membrane electrode assembly (ME) of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), in which means are provided which keep the particles of the anode catalyst in electrolytic and electronic contact in such a way that electrolytic and electronic current transport within the anode is guaranteed and in the anode the offered methanol is almost completely oxidized (consumed).
- ME membrane electrode assembly
- DMFC direct methanol fuel cell
- the present invention furthermore relates to a method for producing an anode according to the invention and a method for operating a DMFC with ME.
- agents which keep the particles of the anode catalyst in electronic contact are understood to mean media in which the catalyst particles are embedded, so that an electrolytic (ie ionic) current transport from all catalyst particles to the membrane and an electronic (that is, current transport via electrons) from the catalyst particles to the contacting current collector is ensured.
- agents are ion exchangers.
- these ion exchangers can be used neat or as ion exchange solutions, ie, for example, a suspension of ion exchange molecules in a solvent such as alcohol.
- the ME membrane-electrode assembly
- a solid electrolyte a membrane which generally represents a proton-conducting polymer (sulfonated polystyrene membranes or Nafion (registered trademark), a perfluorinated polymer) and two electrodes , a cathode and an anode.
- a membrane which generally represents a proton-conducting polymer (sulfonated polystyrene membranes or Nafion (registered trademark), a perfluorinated polymer) and two electrodes , a cathode and an anode.
- cathode material is not discussed further here, because according to the invention it does not matter which cathode material is used and therefore the disclosure here relates to the prior art known to the person skilled in the art or during the term of the patent.
- the catalysts platinum, ruthenium and Pt / Ru alloys, molybdenum, titanium, rhenium,
- Tin and alloys of these components are not limited to the anode catalyst materials mentioned because an anode according to the invention can also be realized with any new or unmentioned anode materials.
- these noble metals or noble metal alloys can be applied to carrier materials such as carbon, silver or copper particles. These can be simple, thin coatings, but thicker films can also be present on the carrier materials.
- the carrier materials should be conductive, at least in one direction, so that the electrolytic and electronic current transport within the anode is ensured.
- the "direct methanol fuel cell” is referred to as "DMFC” and, in analogy to the general principle of electrochemical energy converters, consists of anode, cathode and a suitable electrolyte.
- the electrodes are generally d. H. contacted with the side facing away from the electrolyte by a current collector, which has the task of gas or reactant distribution.
- Carbon base e.g. B. carbon fiber paper or tissue is used.
- concentrations are less than
- 0.05 mol / l are designated.
- the range of less than 0.03 mol / l is favorable and a concentration of is particularly advantageous about 0.01mol / l as assumed in the model calculations. According to the invention, the lowest possible concentration is naturally to be aimed for.
- D diffusion coefficient of methanol in water
- c 0 the MeOH concentration at the anode
- c ⁇ the MeOH concentration at the phase boundary
- c m special concentration, which is characteristic of the cell voltage drop low concentration is
- FIGS. 1 and 2 it is examined how the thickness of the working layer of the anode works when one assumes the low value of 0.01 mol / l for c ⁇ .
- the membrane has a thickness of 200 ⁇ m and the diffusion coefficient for the metha- nol within the membrane is assumed to be 8x10 " 7 cm 2 / s. This value was determined experimentally and corresponds to a limiting current density of 25 mA / cm 2.
- a high diffusion coefficient d 5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 cm 2 / s can be taken into account
- Fig. 1 shows that the current density is approximately proportional to the layer thickness. However, this is only achieved if a corresponding amount of catalyst is used.
- 2 shows the methanol concentration to be demanded in the anode compartment. It can be seen that thicker working layers allow higher methanol concentrations and that they can be increased if the cell is operated with higher current densities.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 consider the extent to which the predetermined concentration C] of methanol has an effect at the phase boundary of the anode / membrane. The characteristics improve if you allow a higher methanol concentration. However, this statement applies only to anode polarization and does not describe the extent to which a high methanol concentration affects the behavior of the cathode. 4 shows that an increased concentration C] _ also enables an increase in the methanol content in front of the anode.
- Thickness d of the working layer remains constant.
- Fig. 7 shows that it is convenient to use thicker electrodes, but that the current density is no longer proportional to the layer thickness.
- FIG. 8 additionally demonstrates that with thicker working layers one is able to use higher methanol concentrations, but that the methanol concentration of the current density must always be adjusted in order to meet the requirement of a low transport of Methanol through the membrane is sufficient.
- the model examinations therefore show that the diffusion of methanol can be restricted even in the working layer of the anode. To this end, care must be taken to ensure that all catalyst particles remain in electronic and electrolytic contact.
- the model calculations also show that thick working layers must be used so that the methanol can be offered to the anode in high concentration and thus high current densities can also be achieved.
- For each thickness of the working layer there is an optimal methanol concentration for the anode, which is dependent on the current density and which then leads to the fact that the predetermined low methanol concentration is established at the anode / membrane phase boundary.
- the first The result of this measure is that only a little methanol passes through the membrane and the problems which are normally associated with methanol diffusion to the cathode are eliminated.
- an anode according to the invention in the required thickness can be achieved by mixing the membrane powder and the catalyst for the anode and then using hot pressing to obtain a mechanically stable and pore-free structure which is connected to the membrane.
- the ratio of catalyst to membrane powder must be selected so that the catalyst particles remain in electronic and / or electrolytic contact so that the current can flow off. This could be done by using the catalyst e.g. PtRu, applied to carbon powder.
- PtRu applied to carbon powder.
- silver or copper powder as the carrier, since both materials are corrosion-resistant in the potential range of the anode.
- a Nafion (registered trademark) powder or a powder of another ion-conducting polymer is used for the membrane itself and that the membrane / anode unit is produced in a single operation.
- the catalyst or the catalyst located on the support material can be present in an ion exchange solution and to be suspended on the membrane. The solvent can then be evaporated or otherwise removed.
