Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. High manufacturing cost
Existing carbon-carbon composite materials are used in bipolar plates of fuel cells. Although they have excellent power generation efficiency, the manufacturing cost is too high. If the cost of a single bipolar plate is several thousand NT dollars, ten bipolar plates Stacked fuel cells cost tens of thousands of NT dollars, which is disproportionate to the generated electricity, resulting in low market competitiveness, let alone the popularization of fuel cells
[0004] 2. Easy to corrode
Existing metal bipolar plates are prone to oxidation or corrosion when exposed to the water and heat generated by the fuel cell for a long time, affecting the flow of fluid in the flow channel, resulting in unstable power supply or short service life
[0005] 3. Unable to mass-produce complex microstructure products
When the bipolar plate has a complex microstructure, whether it is a carbon-carbon bipolar plate or a metal bipolar plate, the manufacturing procedures are complicated and the processing time is lengthy, which is not suitable for mass production

Abstract

A composite bipolar plate for fuel cells comprises a bipolar plate unit which comprises a first face and a second face, wherein, the bipolar plate unit comprises a conductive plastic plate part which is provided with at least a second plastic face and a first plastic face which is positioned on the first face of the bipolar plate; the conductive plastic plate part is provided with at least a plastic fluid inlet, a plastic fluid outlet and a flow channel which is concavely arranged on the first plastic face on the conductive plastic plate part; a metal plate part is provided with at least a second metal face and a first metal face which is arranged on the second face of the bipolar plate unit, the second metal face is combined with the second plastic face. So the bipolar plate unit is in the structure of no pores, has high conductive degree, high intensity and corrosion resistance. The invention can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost, has very good corrosion resistance and can ensure mass production of complex microstructure products.

Description

technical field [0001] The composite bipolar plate of the fuel cell of the present invention Background technique [0002] The existing carbon-carbon bipolar plate can make the fuel cell exert excellent power generation efficiency, and the bipolar plate is made of metal. There are rolling, casting, precision casting, injection, powder metallurgy, etc. In addition, the bipolar plate is plastic The manufacturing process includes injection molding, hot extrusion, etc., regardless of the bipolar plate structure, the following disadvantages occur: [0003] 1. The manufacturing cost is extremely high. Existing carbon-carbon composite materials are used in bipolar plates of fuel cells. Although they have excellent power generation efficiency, the manufacturing cost is too high. If the cost of a single bipolar plate is several thousand NT dollars, ten bipolar plates Stacked fuel cells cost tens of thousands of NT dollars, which is disproportionate to the generated electricity, res...
