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.

Performances of Proton Exchange Membranes from Sulfonated Polyetheretherketone and Inorganic Compound Blends

A variety of modification approaches such as cross-linking and blending have been explored to prepare efficient membranes based on SPEEK. The addition of inorganic filler is also one of the most widely used approaches to modify the SPEEK because inorganic additives can withstand relatively higher temperatures than virgin polymer. Different inorganic fillers are used to alter the properties of neat polymer.

Effect of Molding Temperature Conditions upon Titanium Mesh MEA Performance for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell

. In order to obtain suitable titanium mesh MEA (membrane electrode assembly) for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) molding temperature conditions, titanium mesh was used as electrode substrate material, Nafion 117 membrane was used as proton exchange membrane, PtRu/XC-72R and Pt/XC-72R were used as anode catalyst and cathode catalyst respectively, anode and cathode of titanium mesh MEA were prepared by drop-coating method. When the MEAs were molded by hot-pressing under 5 MPa for 180 s with different temperatures of 115°C, 135°C and 155°C, respectively, the maximum power density of Ti mesh-based MEAs increases firstly, after the first peak, it gradually decreases along with the increase of molding pressure conditions, and the maximum power density appears at the molding temperature of 135°C, so conclude that molding temperature of 135°C is more appropriate for making the titanium mesh MEA.

Microstructure and Creep Resistance of Mg-(8-12 Wt.%) Zn-(2-6 Wt.%) Al Alloys

The aim of this paper is to investigate the microstructural characteristics and creep resistance of Mg-(8-12 Wt. %) Zn-(2-6 Wt. %) Al alloys in order to get a better overall understanding of these series alloys. The results indicate that the alloys studied with the ratio of Zn/Al concentration between 2 and 3 exhibit high creep resistances, and the alloy ZA124 with the continuous network of τ precipitate along grain boundaries shows the highest creep resistance. The creep resistance of alloys decreases significantly due to  eutectic phase,  eutectics and β compounds appearing, especially the creep properties of alloys containing  eutectic phase and β phase with lower Zn/Al concentration are obviously inferior to other alloys.
