空气中SO2 对直接甲醇燃料电池性能影响

直接甲醇燃料电池（DMFC）通常采用空气中氧气作为氧化剂,但空气中硫化物、氮化物等污染物会对电池性能造成影响. 本文采用恒流放电曲线、极化曲线、循环伏安扫描（CV）和电化学阻抗谱（EIS）等方法,研究SO₂对DMFC电池性能影响,分析其毒化作用机制. 研究表明,SO₂毒化导致催化剂电化学活性面积（ECSA）减小,氧还原反应（ORR）电荷转移电阻增大,从而造成DMFC电池开路电压和工作电压加速衰减,峰值功率密度减小. 进一步探究了三种恢复策略,空气吹扫与I-V变载操作都只能实现电池性能的部分恢复,CV扫描可完全恢复电池性能.

Effects of SO2 in Air on Performance of Direct Methanol Fuel Cell北大核心CSCD

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) generally use oxygen as an oxidant.Contaminants such as sulfides and nitrides in the air can affect the performance of the DMFC.In this work, the effects of SO2 on the performance of DMFC were investigated and the mechanism of poisoning was analyzed, by means of constant current discharge curve, polarization performance curve, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).In the CV scan, the permeated methanol was oxidized at a low potential to eliminate its effect on the SO2 poisoning behavior test.The results showed that the SO2 poisoning resulted in a decrease in the electrochemical activity surface area (ECSA) of the catalyst.Meanwhile, the EIS data indicated that the poisoning led to an increase in the charge transfer resistance of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).Therefore, the poison accelerated decay of the open circuit voltage and operating voltage of the DMFC, and decreased the peak power density.Further investigations of three recovery strategies, dry air purging and load-shifting I-V operations could only partially restore the performance of DMFC.However, CV scanning could accomplish the recovery more completely. © 2018 Journal of Electrochemistry.

A novel electrode architecture for passive direct methanol fuel cells

The supply of cathode reactants in a passive direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) relies on naturally breathing oxygen from ambient air. The successful operation of this type of passive fuel cell requires the overall mass transfer resistance of oxygen through the layered fuel cell structure to be minimized such that the voltage loss due to the oxygen concentration polarization can be reduced. In this work, we propose a new membrane electrode assembly (MEA), in which the conventional cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) is eliminated while utilizing a porous metal structure for transporting oxygen and collecting current. We show theoretically that the new MEA enables a higher mass transfer rate of oxygen and thus better performance. The measured polarization and constant-current discharging behavior showed that the passive DMFC with the new MEA yielded better and much more stable performance than did the cell having the conventional MEA. The EIS spectrum analysis further demonstrated that the improved performance with the new MEA was attributed to the enhanced transport of oxygen as a result of the reduced mass transfer resistance in the fuel cell system.     

Single wall carbon nanotube supports for portable direct methanol fuel cells

Single-wall and multiwall carbon nanotubes are employed as carbon supports in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). The morphology and electrochemical activity of single-wall and multiwall carbon nanotubes obtained from different sources have been examined to probe the influence of carbon support on the overall performance of DMFC. The improved activity of the Pt-Ru catalyst dispersed on carbon nanotubes toward methanol oxidation is reflected as a shift in the onset potential and a lower charge transfer resistance at the electrode/electrolyte interface. The evaluation of carbon supports in a passive air breathing DMFC indicates that the observed power density depends on the nature and source of carbon nanostructures. The intrinsic property of the nanotubes, dispersion of the electrocatalyst and the electrochemically active surface area collectively influence the performance of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA). As compared to the commercial carbon black support, single wall carbon nanotubes when employed as the support for anchoring the electrocatalyst particles in the anode and cathode sides of MEA exhibited a approximately 30% enhancement in the power density of a single stack DMFC operating at 70 degrees C.     

Investigations of flow field designs in direct methanol fuel cell

An experimental and simulation research had been performed to investigate the performance as well as the flow distribution in the cathode flow field in the case of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). The gas was well distributed in serpentine flow field, whereas stagnation of the gas was observed in parallel flow field. These would contribute to the cell performance greatly due to mass transfer effect when the cells start operating. In addition, the durability test of DMFC was drastically affected in parallel flow field due to poor ability to drain flooded water produced electrochemically at cathode and crossover from anode. In addition, pressure drops of different flow fields were also investigated to evaluate their contribution and feasibility as an economic application for DMFC. DMFC with serpentine flow field featuring higher pressure difference resulted in a larger parasitic energy demand. However, the optimal flow field designs are needed to balance the performance and pressure loss to achieve a uniform fluid distribution and simultaneously minimize energy demand for mass transport. Consequently, flow field with grid pattern appears to be the optimal design for the DMFC cathode.     

阳极支撑层憎水性对被动式直接甲醇燃料电池传质性能的影响

通过测定甲醇渗透率,详细研究了阳极支撑层的聚四氟乙烯（PTFE）含量对全被动式直接甲醇燃料电池（DMFC）甲醇传质和电池性能的影响。 膜电极集合体均使用相同的阳极催化层,膜和阴极。 实验结果表明,随着阳极支撑层PTFE含量的提高,甲醇渗透速率明显减小。 其含量较高时,甲醇传质阻力较大,会导致电池在很低的电流密度下就出现传质控制区。 采用PTFE质量分数为40%的支撑层时,DMFC以9 mol/L甲醇为燃料最大功率密度可达32×10-3 W/cm2,也进一步证明了适当提高阳极支撑层的憎水性,既有助于减少甲醇的渗透,又缓解了阴极的“水淹”问题。
