Description
本発明は、プロトン伝導性を有しメタノール透過を抑制した固体高分子電解質膜及びそれを用いた燃料電池に関する。 The present invention relates to a solid polymer electrolyte membrane having proton conductivity and suppressing methanol permeation, and a fuel cell using the same.
電解質膜にプロトン伝導性の高分子を用いた固体高分子形燃料電池は、比較的低温で作動することや、小型化が可能で高出力密度であるという特徴を有しており、電気自動車用や家庭用の電源として利用する研究が行われている。また、固体高分子形燃料電池の一種でメタノールを直接燃料とする直接メタノール形燃料電池はエネルギー密度が高いことからリチウムイオン電池等の二次電池に代わる小型機器用の電源として期待されている。 A polymer electrolyte fuel cell using a proton-conducting polymer as an electrolyte membrane has features that it operates at a relatively low temperature, can be miniaturized, and has a high output density. Research is being conducted to use it as a household power source. In addition, a direct methanol fuel cell, which is a type of solid polymer fuel cell and uses methanol as a direct fuel, is expected to serve as a power source for small-sized equipment that replaces secondary batteries such as lithium ion batteries because of its high energy density.
これら固体高分子形燃料電池用の電解質膜としてはナフィオン（登録商標、デュポン社製）等のパーフルオロスルホン酸系高分子が知られている。しかし、これらの電解質は製造工程が複雑で非常に高価であるという問題があり、フッ素系のポリマーであるため合成時、廃棄時に環境に配慮する必要がある。また、直接メタノール形燃料電池の電解質膜に用いた場合には燃料のメタノールが電解質膜を透過（クロスオーバー）しやすいため、空気極に達したメタノールが酸素と直接反応し燃料の利用効率を低下させるばかりか、過電圧が増大し電位を低下させてしまうという問題があった。これを避けるため燃料のメタノールを希釈して使用されてもいるが、燃料タンクが大きくなるためエネルギー密度の低下を招く。そのため、メタノールの透過性が低い固体高分子電解質膜の開発が望まれている。 As electrolyte membranes for these polymer electrolyte fuel cells, perfluorosulfonic acid polymers such as Nafion (registered trademark, manufactured by DuPont) are known. However, these electrolytes have a problem that the manufacturing process is complicated and very expensive. Since these electrolytes are fluorine-based polymers, it is necessary to consider the environment during synthesis and disposal. In addition, when used as an electrolyte membrane of a direct methanol fuel cell, the fuel methanol easily permeates (crosses over) the electrolyte membrane, so that the methanol that reaches the air electrode directly reacts with oxygen, reducing the fuel utilization efficiency. In addition, there is a problem that the overvoltage increases and the potential is lowered. In order to avoid this, the fuel methanol is diluted and used. However, since the fuel tank becomes large, the energy density is lowered. Therefore, development of a solid polymer electrolyte membrane having low methanol permeability is desired.
上記の問題を解決するために、低メタノール透過性の電解質膜として特許文献１や非特許文献１には架橋硫酸化アルギン酸電解質膜が報告されているが、プロトン伝導性が不十分であった。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 1 report a crosslinked sulfated alginic acid electrolyte membrane as a low methanol-permeable electrolyte membrane, but proton conductivity is insufficient.
本発明は上記の問題点を鑑みてなされたもので、安価で合成が容易であり、燃料電池に使用可能なプロトン伝導性を有し、メタノール透過が低く、廃棄時に環境問題を引き起こさない固体高分子電解質膜及びそれを用いた燃料電池を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, is inexpensive, easy to synthesize, has proton conductivity that can be used in fuel cells, has low methanol permeability, and does not cause environmental problems when discarded. An object of the present invention is to provide a molecular electrolyte membrane and a fuel cell using the same.
本発明者は前記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、天然多糖類であるセルロースをスルホアルキル化することにより得られるスルホアルキルセルロースをさらに架橋することにより得られる架橋スルホアルキルセルロースからなる高分子固体電解質膜が、プロトン伝導性を有しメタノール透過率が低いという特徴を有することを見出した。すなわち本発明は、セルロースをスルホアルキル化することにより得られるスルホアルキルセルロースからなる膜であって、該膜が架橋剤によって架橋されたものであることを特徴とする固体高分子電解質膜に関する。また、本発明は該固体高分子電解質膜を使用してなることを特徴とする燃料電池に関する。 As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor has developed a high-molecular-weight product comprising a crosslinked sulfoalkylcellulose obtained by further crosslinking a sulfoalkylcellulose obtained by sulfoalkylating cellulose, which is a natural polysaccharide. It has been found that the molecular solid electrolyte membrane has the characteristics of proton conductivity and low methanol permeability. That is, the present invention relates to a membrane made of sulfoalkyl cellulose obtained by sulfoalkylating cellulose, wherein the membrane is crosslinked with a crosslinking agent. The present invention also relates to a fuel cell comprising the solid polymer electrolyte membrane.
本発明によると天然多糖類であるセルロースから固体高分子電解質膜と、この電解質膜を使用する燃料電池を得ることができる。この電解質膜はプロトン伝導性を有しメタノール透過率が低いので、直接メタノール形燃料電池に用いた場合には、メタノール透過による燃料利用率の低下を抑制することができる。また、この電解質膜は天然物を原料とし容易に合成できるため従来のフッ素系の電解質膜に比べ簡単なプロセスで製造することができ、フッ素を含まないため廃棄時に環境問題を生じるおそれも少ない。 According to the present invention, a solid polymer electrolyte membrane and a fuel cell using this electrolyte membrane can be obtained from cellulose which is a natural polysaccharide. Since this electrolyte membrane has proton conductivity and low methanol permeability, when used directly in a methanol fuel cell, it is possible to suppress a decrease in fuel utilization due to methanol permeation. In addition, since this electrolyte membrane can be easily synthesized from a natural product as a raw material, it can be manufactured by a simple process compared to conventional fluorine-based electrolyte membranes, and since it does not contain fluorine, there is little risk of causing environmental problems when discarded.
本発明の固体高分子電解質膜は、セルロースにスルホアルキル化反応を行うことにより得られたスルホアルキルセルロースを膜成形後、架橋反応を行うことによりスルホアルキルセルロース分子間を架橋させた後、スルホン酸塩をスルホン酸にイオン交換することによって得られる。 The solid polymer electrolyte membrane of the present invention is obtained by forming a sulfoalkyl cellulose obtained by carrying out a sulfoalkylation reaction on cellulose and then crosslinking the sulfoalkyl cellulose molecules by carrying out a crosslinking reaction, followed by sulfonic acid. It is obtained by ion exchange of the salt to sulfonic acid.
セルロースをスルホアルキル化しスルホアルキルセルロースを合成する方法は特に限定されず、例えばセルロースを溶媒中で、ハロゲン化アルカンスルホン酸（塩）、スルトン等のスルホアルキル化剤と反応させる方法が利用できる。 A method for sulfoalkylating cellulose to synthesize sulfoalkylcellulose is not particularly limited. For example, a method of reacting cellulose with a sulfoalkylating agent such as halogenated alkanesulfonic acid (salt) or sultone in a solvent can be used.
膜成形方法は特に限定されないがキャスト法により成形するのが一般的である。例えば水のようなスルホアルキルセルロース可溶の溶媒に溶解させることによりスルホアルキルセルロース溶液を作製する。その溶液をガラス製や樹脂製の基板上に流延し、溶媒を揮発させ乾燥することにより膜が成形される。膜の厚さは１０〜２００μｍが好ましく、膜厚が１０μｍ未満であると強度が低下するほか、燃料である水素やメタノールの透過を十分阻止できないおそれがあり、２００μｍを超えると膜抵抗が高くなり好ましくない。 The film forming method is not particularly limited, but it is generally formed by a casting method. For example, a sulfoalkyl cellulose solution is prepared by dissolving in a sulfoalkyl cellulose-soluble solvent such as water. The solution is cast on a glass or resin substrate, the solvent is evaporated, and the film is formed by drying. The thickness of the membrane is preferably 10 to 200 μm. If the thickness is less than 10 μm, the strength decreases, and there is a possibility that the permeation of hydrogen or methanol as a fuel cannot be sufficiently prevented. If the thickness exceeds 200 μm, the membrane resistance increases. It is not preferable.
スルホアルキルセルロースの架橋方法は特に限定されず、例えば、スルホアルキルセルロース膜を、架橋剤を含む反応溶液に浸漬し架橋反応を行う方法を用いることができる。架橋剤としてはホルムアルデヒド、アセトアルデヒド、グルタルアルデヒド等のアルデヒド類；エチレングリコールジグリシジルエーテル、ポリエチレングリコールジグリシジルエーテル、グリセロールポリグリシジルエーテル等のポリグリシジルエーテル類；コハク酸、シュウ酸、マレイン酸等の多価カルボン酸類；エピクロロヒドリン等のハロヒドリン化合物類；テトラメトキシシラン、テトラエトキシシラン等の金属アルコキシド等を挙げることができる。 The crosslinking method of the sulfoalkyl cellulose is not particularly limited. For example, a method of performing a crosslinking reaction by immersing a sulfoalkyl cellulose membrane in a reaction solution containing a crosslinking agent can be used. Crosslinkers include aldehydes such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, glutaraldehyde; polyglycidyl ethers such as ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, and glycerol polyglycidyl ether; polyvalent succinic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, and the like Carboxylic acids; halohydrin compounds such as epichlorohydrin; metal alkoxides such as tetramethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane.
架橋膜を塩酸水溶液、硫酸水溶液等の酸水溶液に浸漬しスルホン酸塩をスルホン酸にイオン交換することによって本発明の架橋スルホアルキルセルロースよりなる固体高分子電解質膜が得られる。 A solid polymer electrolyte membrane made of the crosslinked sulfoalkylcellulose of the present invention can be obtained by immersing the crosslinked membrane in an aqueous acid solution such as an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution or an aqueous sulfuric acid solution and ion-exchanging the sulfonate to sulfonic acid.
本発明の固体高分子電解質膜を用いて燃料電池を製造する方法は特に限定されず、公知の方法によって製造することが可能である。例えば、電解質膜の両側に２枚の電極を接合し、この接合体を反応ガスやメタノール水溶液を供給する溝または開口部が設けられた導電性のセパレータで挟持する事により燃料電池が得られる。該電極は触媒と拡散層から形成され、触媒としては白金触媒や白金−ルテニウム触媒等が、拡散層としてはカーボンペーパーやカーボンクロス等を用いることができる。 The method for producing a fuel cell using the solid polymer electrolyte membrane of the present invention is not particularly limited, and can be produced by a known method. For example, a fuel cell can be obtained by joining two electrodes on both sides of an electrolyte membrane and sandwiching the joined body with a conductive separator provided with a groove or an opening for supplying a reaction gas or a methanol aqueous solution.
