Problems solved by technology

Disadvantages: ①This technology adopts the method of carrying carbon powder on the metal mesh to treat the metal surface. Since the surface of the metal mesh is relatively smooth, the carbon powder has weak adhesion and is easy to fall off. Under the impact, the carbon powder is easier to peel off, and the peeled carbon powder is easy to block the pores of the microporous layer, affecting the water vapor transmission of the membrane electrode, and then affecting the performance of the membrane electrode
②The metal substrate of this technology needs to be treated with hydrophobicity. On the one hand, the hydrophobic treatment requires high-temperature sintering, and inert gas protection is required to prevent the oxidation of the metal substrate under high temperature conditions. The process is complex and time-consuming, which is not conducive to production; Hydrophobic treatment will reduce the conductivity of the metal mesh
③This technology adopts the method of direct spraying, dipping coating, scraping coating or screen printing on the surface of the metal me

Abstract

The invention discloses a gas diffusion layer of a PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell). The gas diffusion layer comprises a substrate and a micropore layer, wherein the substrate is a porous metal net of which the surface is provided with an electroplating layer; the pore diameter of the porous metal net is 0.076-0.4mm, and the thickness of the porous metal net is 0.01-0.4mm; the micropore layer is formed by coating carbon black slurry on the surface of a carbon fiber fabric, and the substrate and the micropore layer are overlapped and then laminated into a whole. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: overlapping the sintered micropore layer and one or more layers of treated porous metal nets, and then pressing, thereby obtaining the gas diffusion layer which utilizes the metal net as the substrate. The preparation method is simple process and convenient to operate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, in particular to a gas diffusion layer of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Background technique [0002] The gas diffusion layer is one of the important core components of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. It plays the role of water vapor transmission, supporting the catalytic layer and collecting current in the membrane electrode. Therefore, it plays a key role in the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The composition of the gas diffusion layer includes a substrate and a microporous layer. At present, the base of the gas diffusion layer for fuel cells at home and abroad mostly uses carbon fiber to prepare carbon paper or carbon cloth. After the base is pretreated by hydrophobicity and leveling, a microporous layer is prepared on the surface. Spraying and other processes. The preparation process of the gas diffusion layer substrate prepared by this method is cumbersome and t...
