example 1

[0031] Example 1: Select polypropylene nitrile-based carbon fiber, after a few seconds to a few minutes of air oxidation pretreatment, put it into a cutting machine to cut it short, so that its length is distributed between 0.5 mm and 5.0 mm. The specific distribution data is as follows:

[0032] 1 mm long accounted for 49%; 2 mm long accounted for 32%; 3 mm long accounted for 14%; 5 mm long accounted for 5%. Its average length is 1.8 mm.

[0033] Then put it into the water phase containing 0.5% dispersant, stir evenly to obtain papermaking slurry. Wherein the dispersant is polyvinyl alcohol.

[0034] Finally, the carbon fiber paper material is prepared by using the traditional wet papermaking molding method, and the carbon fiber paper material is obtained by pressing after drying. Some performance indicators of the carbon fiber paper material obtained in this example are as follows:

[0035] The area weight is 40g / m 2 ; Thickness 0.14mm; Porosity 80%; Density 0.36g / cm 3 ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrode material, in particular to a carbon fiber paper material suitable for a fuel cell electrode gas diffusion layer, and to a preparation method of the carbon fiber paper material. Background technique [0002] The gas diffusion layer material plays a role in supporting the catalyst layer and stabilizing the electrode structure in the electrode. It also provides fuel gas channels, electron channels and drainage channels for the electrode reaction. The influence of different diffusion layer materials on the structure, manufacturing process and performance of the electrode Also vary. Carbon fiber paper (carbon paper), carbon cloth, non-woven fabric and carbon black paper are commonly used electrode materials. [0003] At present, some gas diffusion layers use carbon paper, and some use carbon cloth materials. They not only have a uniform porous thin-layer structure, but also have good electrical conductivity, good chem...
