Research of Special-Shaped Membrane Electrode Assembly for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell

In order to reduce the costs, improve the performances and promote the industry process, basing on calculus and finite element thinking, conceptual design of special-shaped membrane electrode assembly (S-MEA) was proposed, including six shapes. S-MEA size was determined by calculating, admeasuring and devising elaborately, whose basic parameter was gained from experiment datum. S-MEA was made up of titanium mesh anode layer, anode catalyst layer, Nafion membrane layer, cathode catalyst layer, gas diffusion layer and titanium mesh cathode layer in turn, which was different from MEA of the fluid field bipolar plates in the macro-structure but had the same micro-mechanism. Three-dimensional model was devised through Pro/E, planar diagrammatic drawing was created by the software also, and detail drawing was designed further with CAD. The process of preparing S-MEA was researched basing on the design. Then three typical S-MEA prototypes were made by bend-hot-pressing with home-made molds and precision hydraulic machine, including open triangular cross-section MEA, circular cross-section MEA and square cross-section MEA.

Two-Dimensional Numerical Simulations of Tubular Cathode in a Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell

Analytical model is a valuable tool for the design process and performance optimization of fuel cell systems. In this paper, two-dimensional mathematical models of the tubular cathode in a direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC), which include models of catalyst layer，support body, diffusion layer and gas flow, are developed to describe not only the electrochemical kinetics on the tubular cathode, but also multi-component transfer process in the tubular cathode. The model of spherical agglomerate is used in the catalyst layer, and the effect of ethanol penetration on oxygen reaction of the tubular cathode is also considered. Based on the model, Comsol Miphysics is used to simulate the concentration distribution of components and the current density distribution. Additional, the influence of diffusion layer and catalyst layer in the tubular cathode and the cell operating conditions on the performance of DEFC are analyzed. The results show that the mass transfer resistance exists in the diffusion layer, and the gas concentration decreases inside the battery. It is further showed that electrochemical reactions mainly happen in the catalyst layer, and oxygen concentration decrease rapidly at this time, while the water concentration can be increased.

Study on Pt-SnO2/C Electrode Prepared by Different Content of Nafion for New Direct Ethanol Fuel Cells

A carbon supported Pt-SnO2/C catalyst was prepared by hydrothermal method .The Pt-SnO2/C electrode was prepared by electrostatic spinning. Factors of product in solution, different Nafion loading and different loading of Pt-SnO2/C catalyst were evaluated for their effects on ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). Electrocatalyst was characterized by SEM,EDS and XRD. At the same time, Electrocatalyst was tested by cyclic voltammetry (CV) , Chronoamperometry, AC impedance at three-electrode under similar conditions to those of the DEFC.

Compared to the low potential, the oxidation peak current density was 2 times high obtained.

Investigation on Generation Performance for Tubular Direct Methanol Fuel Cell

Tubular cathode and plate anode were prepared by gel-casting process and coating process, which used mesocarbon microbead(MCMB) as raw materials, then cathode and anode were assembled to prepare single fuel cell. The generation performance for single tubular direct methanol fuel cell was tested under different electrolyte temperatures, methanol concentrations and oxygen flow rates, and the factors that affected the cell performance were discussed. The results showed that temperature and oxygen flow rate were the important factors of the generation performance in tubular direct methanol fuel cell (TDMFC), but the methanol concentration had a relatively smaller impact on the cell performance. The stability test of the cell after working for 100h shows that the tubular MCMB cathode had a perfect stability.
