Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cell electrode porous diffusion layer materials, in particular to a preparation process of carbon fiber paper, a basic material for manufacturing a fuel cell electrode porous diffusion layer. 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 They are also different. Carbon fiber paper (carbon paper), carbon cloth, non-woven fabric and carbon black paper are commonly used electrode materials. [0003] At present, carbon fiber paper (carbon paper) and carbon cloth are used for the gas diffusion layer. They not only have a uniform porous thin-layer structure, but also hav...
