Embodiment 1

[0029] The pure titanium plate is nitrided by plasma nitriding technology, the nitriding temperature is 450°C, the nitriding time is 1h, the glow voltage is 500V during the heat preservation stage, the vacuum degree in the furnace is 200Pa, and the reaction gas is ammonia gas. The thickness of the resulting TiN infiltrated layer is about 2 μm. The anodic polarization curve and the potentiostatic polarization under the working conditions of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell are both at 0.05M H 2 SO 4 +2ppm F - in the solution. In order to simulate the working environment of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, H2 was passed through the solution during all electrochemical experiments 2or air. After treatment with plasma nitride layer, the interfacial contact resistance is significantly reduced, which is slightly higher than that of graphite. Such as figure 1 shown. Passivation current density is less than 10μA / cm 2 .

Abstract

A metal bipolar plate of a polymer electrolyte membrane battery and manufacturing method thereof, being manufactured via plasma nitridation process on pure titanium or titanium alloy plate with thickness of 0.1 to 3.0mm, comprising: in-furnace nitriding temperature is 400 to 500 centigrade, nitriding time is 0.5 to 30 hours, glow voltage for heat preservation is 500V to 700V, current density is 0.5 to 15mA/cm2, in-furnace vacuum temperature is 133Pa to 1330Pa, reaction gas is ammonia gas or mixed gas of nitrogen-hydrogen. The surface thickness of the product is a titanium nitride with thickness of 1 to 50mum(TiN and/or Ti2N). After plasma nitride membrane process, interface contact resistance is apparently reduced, little greater than graphite, passivation current density is less than 10muA/cm2. The surface according to the invention is thin metal bipolar plate of titanium nitride, capable of increasing mass ratio power and volume ratio power of battery banks.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cell electrodes. In particular, it relates to a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell of a bipolar plate of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. Background technique [0002] In addition to the characteristics of high energy conversion efficiency, long life, and environmental friendliness, polymer electrolyte fuel cells have become a power source for transportation and construction of decentralized power stations due to their low operating temperature and fast start-up. power supply. However, factors such as high cost, weight, and volume largely hinder the large-scale commercial application of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Therefore, cost reduction has become the focus of governments and researchers. [0003] As one of the important multifunctional components in polymer electrolyte fuel cells, the bipolar plate not only has the functions of separating the reactant gas, collecting electrici...
