Ultrasonic Spraying Membrane Electrode Preparation Technology
2025-08-27
The membrane electrode is the core component of fuel cells, which integrates the transport and electrochemical reactions of heterogeneous materials, directly determining the performance, lifespan, and cost of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The membrane electrode and the bipolar plates on both sides together form a single fuel cell, and the combination of multiple single cells can form a fuel cell stack to meet various power output requirements. The design and optimization of MEA structure, material selection, and manufacturing process optimization have always been the focus of PEMFC research. In the development process of PEMFC, membrane electrode technology has undergone several generations of innovation, mainly divided into three types: GDE hot pressing method, CCM three in one membrane electrode, and ordered membrane electrode.
1. GDE Hot Pressed Film Electrode
The first generation MEA preparation technology used a hot pressing method to compress the cathode and anode GDLs coated with CL on both sides of PEM to obtain MEA, known as the "GDE" structure.
The preparation process of GDE type MEA is indeed relatively simple, thanks to the catalyst being uniformly coated on the GDL. This design not only facilitates the formation of pores in MEA, but also cleverly protects PEM from deformation. However, this process is not flawless. If the amount of catalyst coated on the GDL cannot be precisely controlled, the catalyst slurry may penetrate into the GDL, resulting in some catalysts not fully exerting their efficiency, and the utilization rate may even be as low as 20%, greatly increasing the manufacturing cost of MEA.
Due to the inconsistency between the catalyst coating on GDL and the expansion system of PEM, the interface between the two is prone to delamination during long-term operation. This not only leads to an increase in internal contact resistance of fuel cells, but also greatly reduces the overall performance of MEA, far from reaching the ideal level. The preparation process of MEA based on GDE structure has been basically eliminated, and few people have paid attention to it.
2. CCM Three In One Membrane Electrode
By using methods such as roll to roll direct coating, screen printing, and spray coating, a slurry composed of catalyst, Nafion, and appropriate dispersant is directly coated on both sides of the proton exchange membrane to obtain MEA.
Compared with the GDE type MEA preparation method, the CCM type has better performance, is not easy to peel off, and reduces the transfer resistance between the catalyst layer and PEM, which is beneficial for improving the diffusion and movement of protons in protons. Catalyst layer, thereby promoting the catalytic layer and PEM. The contact and transfer of protons between them reduce the resistance of proton transfer, thereby greatly improving the performance of MEA. The research on MEA has shifted from GDE type to CCM type. In addition, due to the relatively low Pt loading of CCM type MEA, the overall cost of MEA is reduced and the utilization rate is greatly improved. The disadvantage of CCM type MEA is that it is prone to water flooding during the operation of fuel cells. The main reason is that there is no hydrophobic agent in the MEA catalytic layer, there are fewer gas channels, and the transmission resistance of gas and water is relatively high. Therefore, in order to reduce the transmission resistance of gas and water, the thickness of the catalyst layer is generally not greater than 10 μ m.
Due to its excellent comprehensive performance, CCM type MEA has been commercialized in the field of automotive fuel cells. For example, Toyota Mirai, Honda Clarity, etc. The CCM type MEA developed by Wuhan University of Technology in China has been exported to Plug Power in the United States for use in fuel cell forklifts. The CCM type MEA developed by Dalian Xinyuan Power has been applied to trucks, with a platinum based precious metal loading capacity as low as 0.4mgPt/cm2. The power density reaches 0.96W/cm2. At the same time, companies and universities such as Kunshan Sunshine, Wuhan Himalaya, Suzhou Qingdong, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics are also developing high-performance CCM type MEAs. Foreign companies such as Komu, Gore
3. Ordered Membrane Electrode
The catalytic layer of GDE type MEA and CCM type MEA is mixed with catalyst and electrolyte solution to form a catalyst slurry, which is then coated. The efficiency is very low and there is a significant polarization phenomenon, which is not conducive to the high current discharge of MEA. In addition, the platinum loading in MEA is relatively high. The development of high-performance, long-life, and low-cost MEAs has become a focus of attention. The Pt utilization rate of ordered MEA is very high, effectively reducing the cost of MEA, while achieving efficient transport of protons, electrons, gases, water and other substances, thereby improving the comprehensive performance of PEMFC.
Ordered membrane electrodes include ordered membrane electrodes based on carbon nanotubes, ordered membrane electrodes based on catalyst thin films, and ordered membrane electrodes based on proton conductors.
Carbon Nanotube Based Ordered Membrane Electrode
The graphite lattice characteristics of carbon nanotubes are resistant to high potentials, and their interaction and elasticity with Pt particles enhance the catalytic activity of Pt particles. In the past decade or so, thin films based on vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) have been developed. Electrode. The vertical arrangement mechanism enhances the gas diffusion layer, drainage capacity, and Pt utilization efficiency.
VACNT can be divided into two types: one is VACNT composed of curved and sparse carbon nanotubes; Another type is hollow carbon nanotubes composed of straight and dense carbon nanotubes.
Ordered Membrane Electrode Based On Catalyst Thin Film
The ordering of catalyst thin films mainly refers to Pt nano ordered structures, such as Pt nanotubes, Pt nanowires, etc. Among them, the representative of catalyst ordered membrane electrode is NSTF, a commercial product of 3M Company. Compared with traditional Pt/C catalysts, NSTF has four main characteristics: the catalyst carrier is an ordered organic whisker; Catalyst forms Pt based alloy thin film on whisker like organisms; There is no carbon carrier in the catalytic layer; The thickness of the NSTF catalyst layer is below 1um.
Ordered Membrane Electrode Based On Proton Conductor
The main function of proton conductor ordered membrane electrode is to introduce nanowire polymer materials to promote efficient proton transport in the catalytic layer. Yu and others. TiO2/Ti structures of TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTs) were prepared on titanium sheets, followed by annealing in a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain H-TNTs. Pt Pd particles were prepared on the surface of H-TNTs using SnCl2 sensitization and displacement methods, resulting in a high-power density fuel cell.
The Institute of Nuclear Science and the Department of Automotive Engineering at Tsinghua University have synthesized a novel ordered catalyst layer for the first time based on the fast proton conduction function of Nafion nanowires. It has the following characteristics: Nafion nanorods are grown in situ on proton exchange membranes, and the interface contact resistance is reduced to zero; Deposition of Pt particle catalytic layer on Nafion nanorods, with both catalytic and electron conducting functions; Nafion nanorods have fast proton conductivity.
Ordered membrane electrodes are undoubtedly the main direction of next-generation membrane electrode preparation technology. While reducing the loading of platinum group elements, five aspects need to be further considered: ordered membrane electrodes are highly sensitive to impurities; Expand the working range of membrane electrodes through material optimization, characterization, and modeling; Introducing fast proton conductor nanostructures into the catalytic layer; Low cost mass production process development; In depth study of the interactions and synergistic effects between membrane electrode proton exchange membrane, electrocatalyst, and gas diffusion layer.

The Difference Between Ultrasonic Frequency And Power
2025-08-27
Introduction to Ultrasonic Frequency:
The frequency of ultrasound is the number of times it completes periodic changes per unit of time, and is a quantity that describes the frequency of periodic motion. It is commonly represented by the symbol f, with the unit being one second and the symbol s-1. In commemoration of the contribution of German physicist Hertz, the unit of frequency is named Hertz, abbreviated as "Hz", with the symbol Hz. Every object has a frequency determined by its own properties that is independent of amplitude, called the natural frequency. The concept of frequency is not only applied in mechanics and acoustics, but also commonly used in electromagnetics, optics, and radio technology.
The time required for a particle in a medium to oscillate back and forth once at its equilibrium position is called a period, represented by T in seconds (s); The number of times a particle completes vibration within 1 second is called frequency, represented by f in cycles per second, also known as Hertz (Hz). The period and frequency are inversely proportional to each other, represented by the following equation: f=1/T
The relationship between the wavelength (λ) and frequency of ultrasonic waves in a medium is: c=λ f
In the formula, c is the speed of sound, m/s; λ is wavelength, m; f is frequency, Hz.
From this, it can be seen that for a certain medium, the propagation speed of ultrasound is constant. The higher the frequency of ultrasound, the shorter the wavelength; conversely, the lower the frequency of ultrasound, the longer the wavelength.
Introduction to Ultrasonic Power:
The power of ultrasound refers to the amount of work done by an object per unit time, which is a physical quantity that describes the speed of work done. The amount of work is constant, and the shorter the time, the greater the power value. The formula for calculating power is: power=work/time. Power is a physical quantity that characterizes the speed of work done. The work done per unit of time is called power, represented by P.
In the process of ultrasonic transmission, when ultrasonic waves are transmitted to a previously stationary medium, the medium particles vibrate back and forth near the equilibrium position, causing compression and expansion in the medium. It can be considered that ultrasound enables the medium to acquire vibrational kinetic energy and deformation potential energy. The acoustic energy obtained by the medium due to ultrasonic disturbance is the sum of vibrational kinetic energy and deformation potential energy.
As ultrasound propagates in a medium, energy also propagates. If we take a small volume element (dV) in the acoustic field, let the original volume of the medium be Vo, the pressure be po, and the density be ρ 0. The volume element (dV) obtains kinetic energy △ Ek due to ultrasonic vibration; △ Ek=(ρ 0 Vo) u2/2
Δ Ek is kinetic energy, J; u is particle velocity, m/s; ρ 0 is the density of the medium, kg/m3; Vo is the original volume, m3.
One important characteristic of ultrasound is its power, which is much stronger than ordinary sound waves. This is one of the important reasons why ultrasound can be widely used in many fields.
When ultrasonic waves reach a certain medium, the molecules of the medium vibrate due to the action of ultrasonic waves, and their vibration frequency is the same as that of ultrasonic waves. The frequency of the vibration of the medium molecules determines the speed of the vibration, and the higher the frequency, the greater the speed. The energy obtained by a medium molecule due to vibration is not only related to the mass of the medium molecule, but also proportional to the square of the vibration velocity of the medium molecule. So, the higher the frequency of ultrasound, the higher the energy obtained by the medium molecules. The frequency of ultrasound is much higher than that of ordinary sound waves, so ultrasound can give medium molecules a lot of energy, while ordinary sound waves have little effect on medium molecules. In other words, ultrasound has much greater energy than sound waves and can provide sufficient energy to medium molecules.
The difference in frequency and power of ultrasonic:
The frequency and power of ultrasound are two key parameters for measuring its performance. Macroscopically, power determines the intensity and penetration ability of ultrasound, while frequency determines the penetration depth and resolution of ultrasound.
The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength, and the stronger the penetration, but the greater the power, the stronger the sound energy can be generated. In applications, ultrasound used in the medical field is mainly low-power and high-frequency, which can be used for ultrasound examination and treatment; The ultrasonic waves used in the industrial field are mainly high-power and high-frequency, which can be used for processing, cleaning, measurement, etc. The frequency and power of ultrasound are two key indicators of ultrasound performance. Choosing appropriate ultrasonic parameters can better meet application requirements.

We have developed an ultrasonic spraying equipment with advantages such as high efficiency, stability, and repeatability based on the manufacturing requirements of perovskite batteries.
Principle of ultrasonic spraying system for perovskite battery:
The principle of the ultrasonic spraying system for perovskite cells is to convert high-frequency sound waves into mechanical energy through piezoelectric transducers, and then transfer the mechanical energy to the liquid. This longitudinal upward and downward vibration generates standing waves in the liquid film at the top of the ultrasonic nozzle, where the amplitude of these ultrasonic waves can be controlled by a power generator. These stationary liquid waves can extend upwards from the top of the ultrasonic nozzle, and when the droplets leave the atomizing surface of the nozzle, they are decomposed into a uniform fine mist of micrometer or even nanometer sized droplets.
