设计并组装单电池寿命测试系统,测试直接甲醇燃料电池(DMFC)的运行寿命,获得不同运行时间下单电池的极化和功率曲线.测试结束后,分别对运行过的膜电极(MEA)催化剂(铂黑和铂钌黑)和Nafion117(膜作XRD,HRTEM,FTIR及Raman等表征.考察在长期运行条件下电池寿命性能与膜电极中催化剂的颗粒大小、分布、形态、表面物种以及膜的结构之间的关系.寿命测试结果表明,单电池在不同运行阶段其性能变化也不同.运行前200 h,电池性能衰减较显著;运行200~704 h性能较稳定,运行1 002 h后电池性能恶化.波谱实验发现,单电池长期运行后,其膜电极的阴、阳极催化剂颗粒变大.电池寿命性能的衰退伴随膜电极微结构、表面组成、催化剂/膜界面结构的变化以及Nafion 117(膜的老化.

The lifetime and performance of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) were investigatedto understand the correlation between thestructure of catalysts /membrane and cell performanceversus time.The cell polarization and performance curves were obtained during the DMFC operation with the time.The catalysts and Nafion~ membrane of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) from the lifetime test were comprehensively examined by XRD, HRTEM, FTIRand Raman spectroscope techniques.The results revealed that there was significant performance degradation during the first 200 hours operation; while the degradation was slowing down between 200 and 704hours operation.The degradation became worse after 1 002 h operation.The increases of the catalyst particle size from both anode and cathode catalysts wereobserved after the DMFC lifetime test.The changes of microstructure, surface composition, the interfacial structure of the MEA, and the aging of Nafion~ under the DMFC lifetime tests were also observed.
