Composite membranes with mordenite (MOR) incorporated in poly vinyl alcohol (PVA)–polystyrene sulfonic acid (PSSA) blend tailored with varying degree of sulfonation are reported. Such a membrane comprises a dispersed phase of mordenite and a continuous phase of the polymer that help tuning the flow of methanol and water across it. The membranes on prolonged testing in a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) exhibit mitigated methanol cross-over from anode to the cathode. The membranes have been tested for their sorption behaviour, ion-exchange capacity, electrochemical selectivity and mechanical strength as also characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Water release kinetics has been measured by magnetic resonance imaging (NMR imaging) and is found to be in agreement with the sorption data. Similarly, methanol release kinetics studied by volume-localized NMR spectroscopy (point resolved spectroscopy, PRESS) clearly demonstrates that the dispersion of mordenite in PVA–PSSA retards the methanol release kinetics considerably. A peak power-density of 74 mW/cm2 is achieved for the DMFC using a PVA–PSSA membrane electrolyte with 50% degree of sulfonation and 10 wt.% dispersed mordenite phase. A methanol cross-over current as low as 7.5 mA/cm2 with 2 M methanol feed at the DMFC anode is observed while using the optimized composite membrane as electrolyte in the DMFC, which is about 60% and 46% lower than Nafion-117 and PVA–PSSA membranes, respectively, when tested under identical conditions. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Methanol permeation is one of the key problems for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications. It is necessary to change the structure of the cathode of membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Therefore, a novel MEA with double-layered catalyst cathode was prepared in this paper. The double-layered catalyst consists of PtRu black as inner catalyst layer and Pt black as outer catalyst layer. The inner catalyst layer is prepared for oxidation of the methanol permeated from anode. The results indicate that this double-layered catalyst reduced the effects of methanol crossover and assimilated mixed potential losses. The performance of MEA with double-layered catalyst cathode was 52.2 mW cm−2, which was a remarkable improvement compared with the performance of MEA with traditional cathode. The key factor responsible for the improved performance is the optimization of the electrode structure. 相似文献

The objective of the present research work was to develop a membrane with a high H2O/alcohol selectivity for pervaporation and for use in direct alcohol fuel cells. Sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) was coated with a thin continuous carbon molecular sieve (CMS) layer. The membranes obtained had 180- and 400-nm thick CMS layers that led to a clear reduction of alcohol crossover. The water/alcohol selectivity increased with the size of the alcohol molecules as follows: methanol < ethanol < n-propanol < iso-propanol. A water/n-propanol selectivity of up to 34,000 was obtained, confirming the molecular sieving effect. The system was tested in a direct methanol fuel cell using standard electrodes, and demonstrated a better performance than with plain membranes. In a later stage Pt was introduced in the CMS layer during the preparation of the membrane electrode assemblies, this had the advantage that the CMS layer not only acted as an alcohol barrier but also as a catalyst support. 相似文献

直接甲醇燃料电池(DMFC)的开发设计日渐成为燃料电池领域的研究热点。利用数学模型对内部传递现象进行数值模拟,不仅具有很强的理论意义,而且对结构设计和操作条件优化有很强的指导意义。本文基于两相流模型和CFD(computer fluid dynamics)技术的应用,综述了电池内部绝大多数的传递过程,特别是近些年开发的电池内部与水相关的传递过程的物理模型和数学模型,并以二者的相互联系加以组织。这些模型思想综合考虑了微观传递机理,描述了电池内复杂的传递现象并提供了相应的数值模拟方法和模型验证方法。这些方法能够加深人们对电池内部传质现象的理解,而其实用意义在于能够指导设计和优化电池结构、提高电池的体积和重量比能量密度和缩短开发周期和大幅度降低开发成本。 相似文献

Poly(amide imide) (PAI) was synthesized using 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic anhydride (BTBA) and 4,4′-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate) (MBPI). SPEEK/PAI blend membranes were prepared and investigated by NMR, GPC, FT-IR and AFM. The chemical structures of PAI and SPEEK were characterized by using NMR and FT-IR. The adsorption of the SPEEK/PAI blend membrane of water or methanol solution was also characterized. The significant swelling of the blend membrane in concentrated methanol solution was explained by the solubility parameter. The water diffusion coefficient (DH2O) was related to the lambda value of the membrane. The SPEEK/PAI blend membrane had a lower proton conductivity and methanol permeability than Nafion. However, the relative selectivity (proton conductivity divided by methanol permeability) of the SPEEK/PAI 70/30 (w/w) blend membrane was 3.46 × 104 S s cm−3, which is closed to that of Nafion (3.30 S s cm−3). 相似文献

Our 1D + 1D model of DMFC reveals a new effect. At infinitely small total current in the cell, near the channel inlet forms a “bridge”, a narrow region with finite local current density. The bridge short-circuits the electrodes, thus reducing cell open-circuit voltage. In our previous work the effect is described for the case of equal methanol λa and oxygen λc stoichiometries. In this Letter, we analyze the general case of arbitrary λa and λc. In the case of λa > λc current may occupy finite domain of the cell surface. Asymptotic solution for the case of λa λc shows, that the size of this domain is proportional to oxygen stoichiometry. In the opposite limit of λa λc local current exponentially decreases with the distance along the channel. Asymptotic solutions suggest that the bridge forms regardless of the relationship between λa and λc. In all cases local current density in the bridge increases with the rate of methanol crossover and decreases with the growth of the “rate-determining” stoichiometry. The expression for voltage loss at open-circuit is derived. 相似文献
