Abstract

Abstract: The inhibition of the methanol crossover is one of the intractable challenges in the direct methanol fuel cell. The graphdiyne(GDY) with atomic-level pores shows great potential in realizing the zero-permeation of methanol molecules. In this paper, an ultrathin layer of nitrogen-rich GDY film with a high nitrogen content is largely prepared and readily used for retarding the methanol permeation in the state-of-the-art commercial Nafion membrane. The high N-content in this porous GDY nanofilm remarkably increases the selective suppression in methanol transfer, and single-layer GDY film can efficiently prevent 43% methanol crossover and the value of the double-layer GDY film can be high up to 69%. The power performance and the long-term stability of the cell are obviously improved due to the reduced methanol crossover.

Key words: Direct methanol fuel cell(DMFC), Methanol crossover, Nafion membrane, Graphdiyne
