摘要:
Disclosed is a method for in-situ preparation of a polybenzimidazole-based electrolyte membrane, including: polymerizing a polybenzimidazole polymer in a solution; casting a solution containing the polymerized polymer onto a substrate and drying the solution in air to form a membrane; washing the dried membrane with water or alcohol; and allowing water or alcohol to evaporate from the membrane containing water or alcohol, while maintaining the shape of the membrane. The method for in-situ preparation of a polybenzimidazole-based electrolyte membrane allows easy preparation of a polybenzimidazole-based electrolyte membrane having a desired area without any complicated processes, and thus contributes to simplification of an overall process for fabricating a fuel cell.
摘要:
Disclosed is a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) that prevents an electrolyte membrane from being damaged upon the fabrication of a single cell or a stack of fuel cells. The MEA further includes a guard gasket interposed between conventional gaskets, wherein the guard gasket has a thickness corresponding to 70%-95% of the thickness of the electrolyte membrane. The MEA ensures mechanical protection of the electrolyte membrane, and thus prevents the electrolyte membrane from being damaged by an excessive binding pressure upon the fabrication of a single cell or a stack of fuel cells. Furthermore, the contact resistance between the electrolyte membrane and the catalyst layer and the contact resistance between the gas diffusion layer and the catalyst layer can be minimized, thereby improving the quality of a fuel cell.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is an electrolyte membrane for a fuel cell. The electrolyte membrane includes a blend of polymers with different degrees of sulfonation. The electrolyte membrane can exhibit excellent effects such as improved long-term cell performance and good long-term dimensional stability while at the same time solving the problems of conventional hydrocarbon electrolyte membranes. Further disclosed are a membrane-electrode assembly and a fuel cell including the electrolyte membrane.

摘要:
Disclosed is a unit cell of a honeycomb-type solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) having a plurality of channels. The channels include cathode channels and anode channels. The cathode channels and anode channels are set up alternately in the unit cell. A collector is installed inside each of the cathode channels and the anode channels, and a packing material is packed into the channels having the collector. Disclosed also is a stack including the unit cells and methods for manufacturing the unit cell and the stack.
摘要:
Disclosed are a multi-layered electrode for fuel cell and a method for producing the same, wherein the electrode can be operated under non-humidification and normal temperature, the flooding of the electrode catalyst layer can be prevented, and the long-term operation characteristic can be increased due to the prevention of the loss of the electrode catalyst layer.
