Problems solved by technology

[0010] At present, the porous diffusion layer electrode plates used in fuel cells produced in my country are all imported from abroad, most of which are imported from Japan. Only a few scientific research institutions are trial-producing carbon fiber to make fuel cell plates, but it is only in the experimental stage. Most of them are manufactured by dry method, suction molding method, and sieving method, and they have not been able to form mass industrial production, which hinders and affects my country's energy construction and environmental protection development.
