利用离子交换及随后的氢还原,将单质银负载在质子交换膜(Nafion)孔道内.TEM、XRD表征载银Nafion膜的结构,电化学极限电流法测定氧在载银Nafion膜内的扩散系数.结果表明,因银晶颗粒大于Nafion孔道直径,致使Nafion孔道有所扩张;氧在载银Nafion膜内的扩散系数是无银Nafion膜的4倍.据此,把银引入质子交换膜燃料电池空气阴极催化剂表面的Nafion薄层,则电池的性能在高电流密度下有明显的提高,显示了银对该电极内氧传递的促进作用.

Silver(Ag) was deposited in the pores of Nafion membrane by ion exchange and succedent hydrogen reduction;the structures of Nafion-Ag membrane were measured by TEM and XRD,the diffusion coefficients of oxygen in Nafion-Ag was determined by electrochemical limited current method.The results showed that after deposited silver,the pores in the Nafion were enlarged by silver grains;the oxygen diffusion coefficient was increased about four times.By introducing silver in the thin Nafion film around the cathode catalyst,the performance of PEM fuel cell have a evident increasing in high current density, which shows the facilitated effects of silver to oxygen transportation in PEM fuel cell.
