利用電化學石英天秤(EQCM)結合循環伏安法(CV),質子交換膜燃料電池(PEMFC)中的碳載體材料電化學腐蝕劣化行為可成功地被觀察及研究。幾種常用的商業碳載體材料(Vulcan XC-72,Ketjen black ECP300,Ketjen black ECP600)以及多壁奈米碳管(MWCNT)以噴塗法製備成碳膜石英電極(C-QCE),在298K的脫氣0.5M H2SO4溶液中,於循環伏安法(CV)的同時通過EQCM的頻率變動,可以觀察到的碳膜石英電極(C-QCE)上的質量變化。在CV正向掃描期間,表面氧化物形成並累積在碳表面上,導致碳膜石英電極的重量隨著電位上升而增加;而在較高電位區域可觀察到由於表面碳氧化物氣化成二氧化碳,所造成與碳腐蝕相關的重量減少。由實驗結果顯示,未處理商用載碳體XC-72的EQCM重量減少的發生電位為1.05V與其它碳載體腐蝕研究的結果相近;再依單位面積碳腐蝕率比較,高比表面積的商用碳載體ECP300、ECP600高於較低比表面積的XC-72,顯示較高比表面積的商用碳載體會有較大的碳腐蝕程度;另外多壁奈米碳管的EQCM重量減少的電位提高至1.62V,驗證了碳載體材料的石墨化度,可有效增強其於燃料電池環境下的抗電化學氧化性。
研究碳膜石英電極於CV期間的EQCM重量變化率以及重量減少的發生電位,可進一步討論碳載體材料的電化學碳腐蝕行為,商用碳載體材料XC-72於模擬燃料電池環境下0.5M H2SO4溶液的電化學氧化行為及其影響條件;由實驗結果證明:通入不同氣體的0.5M H2SO4溶液條件實驗,證明碳載體氧化的氧來源主要來自液體;而加入PTFE黏劑的碳膜則因表面疏水及質傳阻礙,電化學氧化程度減少。
以傳統的高溫加熱的方法可以提升質子燃料電池碳載體的石墨化程度,從而提高碳載體電化學氧化過程中的穩定性及抗腐蝕性,由實驗結果商用碳載體材料Vulcan XC-72經2200℃以上的高溫處理後,可有效的提升碳載體的石墨化度,但分析結果也顯示:碳載體本身的比表面積大幅減少,且碳載體表面的含氧官能基減少而使其表面會過於疏水,這樣的疏水表面會使得碳載體在後續的白金觸媒顆粒上漿製程中,產生不易附載及分散不均等問題;利用氧電漿處理石墨化的碳黑,可增加石墨化碳黑表面的含氧官能基,解決石墨化碳黑不易附載白金觸媒的問題,相關文獻也指出含氧官能基能使白金觸媒顆粒和碳載體間的反應及附著性更好。
以火花電漿燒結(SPS)方法增強商用碳載體材料Vulcan XC-72 的石墨化度,不僅處理時間短,對碳黑的比表面積、孔隙度及表面官能基的影響小,本研究並討論在不同的SPS實驗條件下,所得到碳材的石墨化結果;由EQCM的實驗結果顯示,經SPS法處理後和未處理的商用碳載體材料Vulcan XC-72相比,由於石墨化的提升從而使得其電化學的抗腐蝕能力增加;另外和傳統高溫加熱法比較,以SPS法處理後的碳載體XC-72表面仍可保有較好的比表面積、表面官能基及親水性,在白金觸媒的附載上也較為容易。
The carbon corrosion behavior of several carbon support materials for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), including commercial carbon black (Vulcan XC-72, Ketjen black ECP300, Ketjen black ECP600), graphitized carbon black and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), was investigated by using the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) method. The mass change during cyclic voltammetry (CV) in deaerated 0.5 M H2SO4 solution at 298 K can be observed by the frequency change of EQCM. During the positive scan, the carbon surface oxides were formed and accumulated on the carbon surface leading to an increase of the mass as the potential increasing. In the higher potential region, a drop in mass associated to carbon loss was observed which was attributed to the gasification of surface carbon oxides to carbon dioxide. Examine the mass change rate and mass drop onset potential, the behavior of electrochemical carbon corrosion was discussed.
The influence of specific surface area and graphitization of carbon supports were also investigated in this study. The results indicate that high BET surface area carbon blacks rendered less resistant to electrochemical carbon corrosion. Graphitized XC-72 and MWCNTs with higher graphitization degrees appear more intrinsically resistant to electrochemical carbon corrosion.
The commercial carbon support Vulcan XC-72 was graphitized by conventional high temperature heat treatment at various temperatures to increase the graphitization and improve the electrochemical corrosion stability of commercial carbon support Vulcan XC-72. The result shows XC-72 can be obviously increase the graphitization after 2200℃ conventional high temperature heat treatment. Meanwhile, the BET surface area and the surface functional groups of carbon support XC-72 was strongly decreased after heat treatment. After oxygen plasms treatment, the graphitized XC-72 carbon black has increased the BET surface area and the O/C ratio of surface similar to the as-received XC-72. Therefore, oxygen plasma treatment is an effective method to provide graphitized carbon blacks with surface functional groups that can act as anchoring sites to favor dispersion and deposition of platinum particles on their surface and could be helpful to prevent platinum particles agglomeration.
Comparing to conventional high temperature heat treatment, carbon support XC-72 can be graphitized rapidly by SPS method only within few minutes. Moreover, the SPS treated carbon support XC-72 do not suffer from high levels of hydrophobic character which can create problems with active phase dispersion and ink formulations. The results revealed that the SPS is an effective method to enhance the electrochemical stability and surface properties of carbon blacks for the application of PEMFC.
