Problems solved by technology

At present, there are mainly three kinds of bipolar plate materials: graphite bipolar plate, metal bipolar plate and composite material bipolar plate, but they all have obvious defects: graphite materials have low mechanical strength (especially bending strength), high brittleness, Difficult to thin sheet, poor air tightness, and high processing cost (the processing cost accounts for more than 50% of the total cost); the metal bipolar plate has a high density and is easy to corrode; the technology of composite bipolar plate is still immature, and the cost also high

Abstract

Characters of bipolar plate of polymer based composite material are that it is produced from materials of Meta kaolin, conductance material, and solution of water glass. The conductance material is composed of graphite and carbon fiber. Doping quantity of graphite is 20-40% of mass of meta kaolin, and doping quantity of carbon fiber is 10-20%. Mass ratio between solution of water glass, meta kaolin, and conductance material 0.4-0.8:1. The said Meta kaolin is obtained by calcinating kaolin in coal series sold on market or pure kaolin at 600-850 deg.C. Modulus m of solution of water glass is equal to 2.8-3.5, and Baume degree is equal to 35-45. Features of the bipolar plate are: low cost, good corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, light weight, good conductivity, no poison and pollution on fuel cell of proton exchange membrane.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a proton exchange membrane fuel cell bipolar plate and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to its high energy conversion efficiency, environmental friendliness, stable performance, and clean production, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) have broad application prospects in vehicle drive power supplies, portable power supplies, and household power stations. an important direction of development. [0003] However, the high cost is the main reason why PEMFC is currently difficult to commercialize. Among them, the bipolar plate accounts for about 70% to 80% of the total mass of the entire PEMFC, and the cost accounts for about 40% to 50% of the total cost. At present, there are mainly three kinds of bipolar plate materials: graphite bipolar plate, metal bipolar plate and composite material bipolar plate, but they all have obvious defects: graphite materials have low mechanical strength (especi...
