摘要 : 隨著全球快速工業化的發展，天然資然快速消耗。所以發展替代能源是不 可避免的趨勢。而燃料電池具有低汙染且高能量轉換效率的優點，更是被廣 泛研究。而在直接甲醇燃料電池的發展中，陽極氣泡堆積的問題一直影響著 反應效能。而在微米等級的氣泡動力學行為已有許多相關的研究了，然而在 奈米等級的氣泡成長與反應的行為卻是鮮少人在探討。故本篇想探討並且了 解在奈米尺度下氣泡的動力學行為，期待在 深入了解之後，能提出有效解決 陽極氣泡堆積的方法 。 實驗初期先用雙氧水模擬氣泡生成，並加入 AFM的測量其生長的高度、速度 與力曲線相關分析。之後實驗將結合AFM與電化學系統，實際觀察甲醇反應產 生的奈米級CO氣泡的相關動力學行為。2 關鍵字 : 直接甲醇燃料電池、原子力顯微鏡、力曲線、奈米級氣泡、電化學 ii Abstract: The measuring method of the anode-generated CO2 nano bubbles in DMFCs is developed in this study. Since the electrochemical reactions always accompany products like CO bubbles and H O, the efficiency of DMFC will decayed without the 2 2 removal of those products. However, the nano-scaled nucleation and growth process is hard to be observed by optical microscopic. Since atomic force microscopy(AFM) is a powerful tool to detect the nano-scaled features, we employ AFM to measure the O bubbles of Pt-H O catalytic reaction to simulate the anode-generated CO 2 2 2 2 bubbles.The position and size of single Pt catalyst can be well controlled by using the PSB masking method. The topography of O2 bubbles can be observed by AFM after H O solution was added into the pt array. The variation of the bubble height was 2 2 observed and shown in Fig.3, the bubble height varied with an approximately cycle and the period was nearly 50secs. However, it was mere a global periodic, a precise single bubble measuring method was required. Therefore, AFM force curve method was employed to understand the single bubble growth mechanism. The height, Young’s modulus and surface tension of bubbles can be obtained by the force curve. The force curve and related bubble height was shown in Fig.4. First, the small O2 bubble grew slowly without significant change during 35~45secs.Then, the bu
