本文建立了直接甲醇燃料电池(DMFC)的二维两相模型,并重点研究阳极的两相流动和质量传递.模型考虑甲醇串流现象,定量计算了在不同电流密度下甲醇串流量的大小及其对电池工作性能的影响;模型中提出求解气、液单相流速的方法,并分别研究气、液流速对物质传递和电池性能的影响.定量分析发现:由甲醇串流产生的寄生电势导致实际开路电压值远低于理论值;在大电流密度下扩散层和催化层内的气相体积分数非常大,阻碍了液相燃料向催化层扩散,成为制约电池性能的关键因素;扩散层和催化层内存在气、液两相的反向流动,且气、液相速度分别有利于排出生成气体并推动液体燃料到达催化层;减小多孔介质的扩散率将削弱对流,恶化电池性能. 相似文献

本文设计了基于无Pt电极的自呼吸式阴离子交换膜(AEM)直接葡萄糖燃料电池(DGFC),并对其性能进行了实验研究。结果表明,在室温下,自呼吸式AEM-DGFC的最大功率密度达到20.8 mW·cm~(-2),最大电流密度为156mA·cm~(-2),优于以葡萄糖为反应物的传统的微生物燃料电池和酸性直接葡萄糖燃料电池(PEM-DGFC)。实验还探究了葡萄糖浓度以及KOH浓度对于自呼吸式直接葡萄糖燃料电池性能的影响,葡萄糖浓度的升高一方面会降低传质极化,另一方面会阻碍OH~-的传输,增大电池的内阻。0.7 M浓度的葡萄糖使燃料电池性能达到最优最优。KOH浓度从2M升高到4M时,使得阳极的GOR速率加快,电池性能进一步提升。 相似文献

Trioctylphosphine (TOP)/Pd composites have been synthesized and used as a methanol-barrier material to modify the surface of Nafion 115. The TOP/Pd composites have been applied to the surface of Nafion instead of being incorporated into the Nafion matrix, to provide the best chance of maintaining the inherent proton conductivity of Nafion. The properties of the TOP/Pd-modified membrane, in terms of its conductivity and methanol permeability, as well as the performance of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), have been analyzed and compared with those of bare Nafion. The DMFC performance of the TOP/Pd-modified membrane is somewhat better than that of the bare Nafion one at methanol concentration of 2 M and significantly better at a high concentration of 5 M. The TOP/Pd-modified membrane is able to operate the DMFC using a high concentration of methanol, which can satisfy the requirement to reduce the reactant volumes for portable applications as well as to achieve high performance. In contrast to bare Nafion, the TOP/Pd-modified membrane with its well-adhering and crack-free modified surface shows effect on reducing the methanol loss. 相似文献

In the present investigation, the methanol crossover rate through Nafion®-115 membrane at different temperatures and different concentrations had been investigated in a fuel cell test apparatus by using gas chromatography analysis. The singledirect methanol fuel cell (DMFC) tests were carried out to investigate the effect of the concentration of methanol aqueous solutions and cell temperature on methanol crossover and consequently, on the open circuit voltage and the cell performance of DMFC. It can be found that the methanol crossover rate through Nafion® membrane increases as methanol concentration and temperature increase. It can also be found that methanol crossover presented a negative effect on the open circuit voltage and the single DMFC performance. Single DMFC test results showed that an improved cell performance was obtained as temperature increased although the methanol crossover rate increased with temperature increment. 相似文献

A single cell passive air-breathing liquid feed direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is designed and fabricated. Furthermore, the effects of cell orientation and environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity on the performance of such passive DMFC are tested experimentally. The obtained results indicate that both environmental temperature and relative humidity have significant effects on the performance of fabricated fuel cell. The experimental data contained within this work shows that under lower relative humidity and higher temperature, the passive air-breathing direct methanol fuel cell has higher power output and better performance. According to experimental results, flooding has a vital role on the cell performance in various relative humidity and temperatures. The results also show that cell orientation has a strong effect on the performance of passive DMFC. The best power output and performance were achieved under vertical orientation. 相似文献

The drawbacks of our earlier report of preparing fuel cell catalyst arrays by borohydride reduction of inkjet prepared arrays of metal salts are discussed along with the need for inclusion of state-of-the-art metrics in all array screening. An alternative method for screening of hydrogen/air cathode catalysts, direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) anode catalysts, and catalyst loading studies is provided. State-of-the-art Johnson Matthey catalysts were used in control experiments to demonstrate the utility of the array fuel cell for high throughput screening of fuel cell catalysts in the 3-4 mg/cm2 range. This report lays out hard learned rules for high throughput screening and demonstrates that the array fuel cell can be used for very precise screening of libraries of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) components without the pitfalls discussed in the introduction. 相似文献

The solution casting technology was applied to manufacture thin polymer films (~?20–30 μm) from the ionomer solution of perfluorinated polymer with short side chains (an analogue of the commercial polymer Aquivion®). The influence of annealing temperature on the mechanical properties (elastic limit), proton conductivity, and heat capacity was investigated. The elastic limit, glass transition temperature, and proton conductivity of the samples were found to reach their maximum values at the annealing temperature 170?±?5 °C. Comparative studies of membrane-electrode assemblies (MEA) using the commercial (Nafion NR212) and solution-casted membranes were carried out. MEA with optimized Aquivion-type membranes showed satisfactory values of fuel crossover and maximum output power. The results of the conducted studies show that the prepared Aquivion-type membranes are very promising for practical application in MEA. 相似文献

The excess weight loss due to the evaporation of zinc compound is observed in the growth of ZnO film by trifluoroacetate metalorganic deposition (TFA-MOD) method. Higher temperature (>90 °C) aging and/or addition of monoethanolamine (MEA) are effective to prevent the evaporation of zinc compound and increase the yield of ZnO. The mechanism of preventing evaporation is that zinc trifluoroacetate is hydrolyzed into Zn4O(CF3COO)6. A three-dimensional structure of Zn4O(CF3COO)6 is proposed. It is shown that higher temperature aging does harm to the surface morphology of ZnO films. The addition of MEA reduces the required aging temperature thus improves the surface morphology. 相似文献

Novel nanocatalyzed membrane electrode assembly (MEA) with high performance and durability for polymer electrolyte membrane
fuel cell application is prepared by modifying nonequilibrium impregnation–reduction method. The electrochemical and physical
properties of nanocatalyzed MEA have been examined using various techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy,
scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction studies. The lifetime of the nanocatalyzed MEA is studied and compared
with that of the conventional one. It is observed that the performance and durability of nanocatalyzed MEA are better than
the conventional one. In addition, the influence of supported carbon corrosion in MEA durability has been studied. 相似文献

Fuel cell represents a new energy conversion device, which promises to provide clean source of power. Fuel cell [particularly proton exchange membrane fuel cell and direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC)] is a promising candidate for transportation and portable power source applications. In DMFC, there is a problem of methanol crossover. In order to reduce such a problem, there has been an intensive research activity in the modification of Nafion. In the present investigation, self-assembled membranes were fabricated with sulfonated polyether ether ketone as the core part of the membrane. Aminated polysulfone and sulfonated polysulfone were used as the layers in order to prevent the crossover of methanol. The assembled membranes were characterized by ion exchange capacity, water and methanol absorption, and durability. The methanol permeability and selectivity ratio proved a strong influence on DMFC application. Scanning electron microscopy proved smooth surface, which established strong cohesive force for the polymer chains. Among the synthesized self-assembled membranes, the membrane with two bilayers was the best in terms of power density in DMFC. The membrane electrode assembly with two bilayers showed higher performance (~61.05 mW/cm2) than sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) and Nafion in DMFC. 相似文献

To improve DMFC (direct methanol fuel cell) performance, a new method using ultrasonic radiation is proposed and a novel DMFC structure is designed and fabricated in the present paper. Three ultrasonic transducers (piezoelectric transducer, PZT) are integrated in the flow field plate to form the ultrasonic field in the liquid fuel. Ultrasonic frequency, acoustic power, and methanol concentration have been considered as variables in the experiments. With the help of ultrasonic radiation, the maximum output power and limiting current of cell can be independently increased by 30.73% and 40.54%, respectively. The best performance of DMFC is obtained at the condition of ultrasonic radiation (30 kHz and 4 W) fed with 2 M methanol solution, because both its limiting current and output power reach their maximum value simultaneously (222 mA and 33.6 mW, respectively) under this condition. These results conclude that ultrasonic can be an alternative choice for improving the cell performance, and can facilitate a guideline for the optimization of DMFC. 相似文献
