Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, both of the above two structures use carbon materials as conductive support materials, and the conductivity of carbon materials is poor, and the conductivity is generally less than 2S / cm, which leads to the use of carbon materials. Performance in the case of high current discharge; in addition, the strength of the gas diffusion layer with carbon materials as the skeleton is limited, and bending deformation often occurs when preparing large-area air cathodes

Abstract

The invention provides a gas diffusion layer, which comprises a conductive porous support body and a hydrophobic layer, wherein the hydrophobic layer coats the surface of the conductive porous support body and a pore inner wall of the conductive porous support body; and the material of the conductive porous support body is selected from conductive ceramic. With the conductive ceramic as the material of the conductive porous support body of the gas diffusion layer, the gas diffusion layer has relatively high electrical conductivity and relatively high bending strength; and the gas diffusion layer obtained from the material of the conductive porous support body can be used for preparing a high-performance metal-air battery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a gas diffusion layer, a preparation method thereof and a metal-air battery. Background technique [0002] Metal-air batteries are generally composed of a metal anode, an electrolyte, and an air cathode. The performance of the cathode is the core of the battery performance, and the structure of the air cathode is generally a three-layer structure. From the inside to the outside: the catalyst layer in direct contact with the electrolyte , the gas diffusion layer that provides the reactant oxygen for the catalyst layer, and the third layer is the current-collecting conductive layer; the gas diffusion layer is the key to the cathode, which prevents the electrolyte from flooding the reactant gas transport channel, and even the electrolyte The risk of leakage of the battery, while also taking into account the function of effective diffusion of gas to the catalyst layer,...
