Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing carbon fiber paper for a gas diffusion layer of a fuel cell, and belongs to the field of fuel cells. The prior carbon fiber paper cannot give consideration to air permeability and mechanical strength, and has the problems of crisp texture, low surface glossiness, easy peeling of chopped carbon fiber, high production cost, and the like. The method comprises the following steps: soaking a carbon fiber mat in an ethanol solution of phenolic resin to obtain a carbon fiber mat and phenolic resin prepreg; die-pressing the prepreg to obtain a carbon fiber paper blank, and then carrying out low-temperature carbonization treatment; soaking the carbonized carbon fiber paper blank in the ethanol solution of phenolic resin again, and curing the soaked carbon fiber paper blank; and finally carrying out high-temperature carbonization treatment to obtain the carbon fiber paper for the gas diffusion layer of the fuel cell. The carbon fiber paper prepared by the method has high porosity, air permeability, electric conductivity and tensile strength, and can be used as a substrate material for the gas diffusion layer of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a method for preparing carbon fiber paper with high air permeability, tensile strength and conductivity, in particular to a carbon fiber for gas diffusion layer of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell prepared by a secondary impregnation process paper method. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is an electrochemical power generation device, which is different from a battery in the conventional sense. A fuel cell directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy isothermally and electrochemically. It does not go through a heat engine process, so it is not limited by the Carnot cycle, has high energy conversion efficiency (40%-60%), is environmentally friendly, and hardly emits nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. Moreover, the emission of carbon dioxide is also reduced by more than 40% compared with conventional power plants. It is precisely because of these outstanding adv...
