PREPARATION METHOD OF CATALYST SLURRY FOR FUEL CELL MEMBRANE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY
DRIVE
March 23, 2023
The present disclosure provides a preparation method of a catalyst slurry for a fuel cell membrane electrode assembly (MEA), including the following steps: preparing a slurry mixture with a catalyst, a dispersing solvent, an ionomer, a thickener, and a surfactant according to a certain mass ratio; subjecting the slurry mixture to pre-dispersion several times in an ultrasonic disperser and a high-shear emulsifying machine successively, to obtain a slurry pre-dispersion; and conducting dispersion on the slurry pre-dispersion in a high-pressure homogenizer to obtain the catalyst slurry. In the present disclosure, components of the catalyst slurry and a dispersion process are optimized and innovated, to construct a more effective three-phase interface. The MEA prepared according to the present disclosure has a significantly improved performance and reduced slurrying time; and is thus suitable for mass production.
