Abstract

The invention relates to a composite graphene coating for a fuel cell metal polar plate and a preparation method thereof. The composite graphene coating is coated and plated on the metal polar plate; the composite graphene coating is formed through the four steps of pre-processing the metal polar plate, depositing a pure metal layer, growing a graphene layer and depositing an atomic layer; and thus, the pure metal layer, the graphene layer and the atomic layer depositing film are arranged on the metal polar plate in sequence. Compared with the prior art, the composite graphene coating prepared by the invention has excellent mechanical property, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance; the contact resistance between the metal polar plate and a gas diffusion layer is obviously reduced; and the durability of the metal polar plate in the strong acid environment of a fuel cell is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a graphene composite coating used for fuel cell metal pole plates and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the shortage of energy, new energy technologies represented by hydrogen energy have received more and more attention. Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a power generation device that can directly convert hydrogen energy into electrical energy. It has the advantages of high efficiency, fast start-up, zero emission, and high specific power density. . The traditional PEMFC stack mainly includes main components such as membrane electrodes, bipolar plates, and gas diffusion layers. Bipolar plates play the roles of providing gas reaction sites, collecting current, supporting membrane electrodes, and water management. Bipolar plate materials should have good electrical conductivity, strong corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength ...
