The invention relates to the technical field of fuel
cell gas
diffusion layers, in particular to a
gas diffusion layer, a preparation method thereof and a fuel
cell. The preparation method comprises the following steps: impregnating a carbon
fiber two-dimensional matrix material with reinforced resin, covering a release film,
coating a first microporous layer
slurry containing resin,
graphite,
acetylene black and an
organic solvent to another release film,
drying, laminating the two release films, carrying out
hot pressing and curing, and carrying out
carbonization and graphitization to obtain a
composite material layer comprising a matrix layer and a first microporous layer; and dipping the
composite material layer in a first hydrophobic agent,
drying,
coating the surface of the first microporous layer with second microporous layer
slurry containing conductive
carbon black, a dispersing agent, a second hydrophobic agent and water, and
sintering to form a second microporous layer, thereby obtaining the
gas diffusion layer. According to the method, the
surface roughness of the
gas diffusion layer can be reduced, the resin impregnation amount is reduced, a
mass transfer channel in a material is enlarged, the
brittleness of the gas
diffusion layer is reduced, the strength of the gas
diffusion layer is improved,
energy consumption and production cost are reduced, and the second microporous layer is not prone to
powder falling.
