Abstract
【解決手段】筐体の内部に水素電極,酸素電極およびこれらに挟まれたプロトン伝導性膜により形成された膜電極接合体を収容し、酸素電極反応で生じた水分が除去される際に前記水分と前記筐体とが接触する燃料電池に用いる筐体であって、マグネシウム合金からなる母材2aと母材側から順に化成処理膜2ba、下塗り層2bbおよび上塗り層2bdを有する被膜2bとを備える燃料電池の筐体。
【選択図】図2
Description
次に本発明を実施例によって具体的に説明するが、これら実施例により本発明が限定されるものではない。図1は本発明のDMFCの断面図(a)と平面図(b)である。下側筐体3の内部に水素電極10,酸素電極9およびこれらに挟まれたプロトン伝導性膜8により形成された膜電極接合体7を二組収容する。二組の膜電極接合体7は互いの水素電極10どうしが対向し、間に液体燃料保持部材11を挟む。2つの酸素電極9は何れも外側を向く。酸素電極9の外側にはそれぞれ集電板6を収容する。これらを収容した下側筐体3に上側筐体2を被せて各ネジ穴5にてネジ止めする。集電板6と膜電極接合体7と液体燃料保持部材11は下側筐体3の底面と上側筐体2に挟まれて押し圧を受ける。上側筐体2および下側筐体3は樹脂材料に比べて機械的強度の高いマグネシウム合金で形成されているため比較的薄い厚さ寸法であっても反りを生じることがなく集電板6に均一で適切な押し圧を与える。これにより集電板6と膜電極接合体7との間の均一な接触が図られる。その結果、電極面積の大きな燃料電池でも集電効率の低下を防止することができる。また、マグネシウム合金はアルミニウム合金の2/3程度の比重であるため筐体の軽量化にも寄与し小型携帯電子機器の携帯性を損なうことはない。なお、図1では水素電極10と液体燃料保持部材11の間の集電板について図示を省略してある。集電板6と上側筐体2および下側筐体3の間にはそれぞれ電気絶縁シートを挟むが図示を省略してある。
表面処理を施したマグネシウム合金製の筐体の耐食性を確認するために次の実験を行った。
[実験方法]
表面処理を施したマグネシウム合金製の筐体を各液に浸漬し腐食が発生するまでの時間を測定した。
[浸漬液]
蟻酸30ppm、5%
酢酸30ppm、5%
メタノール10%
塩酸10%
[表面処理]
実験サンプルは表面処理を変えたS1〜S4までの4種類を準備した。
S1:(a)+(b)+(c)+(d)
S2:(a)+(b)+(c)
S3:(a)+(b)
S4:(a)+(b) +(d)
(a)化成処理膜:燐酸マンガン系
(b)下塗り層(プライマー):エポキシ系
(c)上塗り層(有色塗装):アクリル系
(d)クリア塗装膜:アクリルシリコン系
[膜厚]
S1:(a)+(b)+(c)+(d):(b)のみ変更10/20/30μm(c)20μm固定(d)20μm固定
S2:(a)+(b)+(c):(b)20μm固定(c)のみ変更7/15/25μm
S3:(a)+(b):(b)のみ変更10/20/30μm
S4:(a)+(b) +(d):(b)20μm固定(d)のみ変更7/15/25μm
*(a)化成処理膜厚は全てのサンプルで統一
上記(a)〜(d)の各工程の詳細を表1に示す。被膜の構成を図2に示す。例えばS1では筐体2のマグネシウム合金母材2a上に、母材側から順に化成処理膜2ba、下塗り層2bb、上塗り層2bcおよびクリア塗装層2bdを有する被膜2bが形成される。
実験サンプルS1,S2を蟻酸30ppm、酢酸30ppm、メタノール10%の各溶液にそれぞれ浸漬して10000時間近く経過しても腐食や変色は認められなかった。蟻酸5%、酢酸5%、塩酸10%の各溶液に対しては何れの実験サンプルも100時間以内で腐食や変色が発生したためその時点で実験を中止した。図5に変色の様子を模式的に示した。
次に、蟻酸5%、酢酸5%、塩酸10%の各溶液に対する耐食性の向上を図るために被膜の改善を試みた。調査の結果、腐食や変色の原因は上塗り層(有色塗装)に用いる塗料に含まれるアルミフレークが浸漬液と反応しているためであることがわかった。DMFCは小型携帯機器に装着するため小型携帯機器の外観と同様のメタリック調の外観を有していることがデザイン面で好ましい。DMFC筐体にメタリック調の外観を与えるためにアルミフレーク等の金属粒子が有色塗装で用いる塗料に添加されている。
近年、携帯電話、音楽プレーヤ、パソコン等の機器は小型軽量化され、利用者に携帯されて用いられる機会が多い。そのため、これらの機器に用いられる筐体としては、充分な機械的強度と共に、軽いことが要求される。こうした筐体に用いられる素材としては、アルミニウムに代表される軽金属の合金が最適であるが、その中でも、特にマグネシウム(Mg)合金は、高い機械的強度をもつと共に、その比重がアルミニウム(Al)の2/3程度であるため好適である。
以下、本発明の実施例について述べる。以上に述べた製造方法を用いてMg合金上にAlめっき工程、熱処理工程までを行ったマグネシウム合金材を製造し、比較例となる同様の構造のマグネシウム合金材と、剥離の発生度合い及び腐食性溶液に対する耐食性を比較した。
