Abstract

The invention discloses a fuel cell bipolar plate and a preparation method of titanium thin films on surfaces thereof, and belongs to the field of a fuel cell. The bipolar plate comprises a substrate and titanium nanometer composite thin film layers, wherein the titanium nanometer composite thin film layers are arranged at two side surfaces of the substrate and are deposited and formed on the surfaces of the substrate by employing an arc ion plating technology, and the bipolar plate plated with the titanium thin films is obtained by controlling a film coating parameter during the deposition process of the titanium thin films. By the bipolar plate, the corrosion resistance is improved by three orders of magnitude under a voltage of 0.6V in a fuel cell simulation environment and is improved by two orders of magnitude under 1.36V, the contact resistance is reduced to 0.5 milliohm.cm<2> or below (pressure of 0.2MPa), the bipolar plate has favorable corrosion resistance and excellent conductivity after test on corrosion resistance of the cell simulation environment for a long time, and the long-term running requirement of a regenerative fuel cell sectem and a proton exchange membrane cell are met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a fuel cell bipolar plate and a method for preparing a titanium-gold film on its surface. Background technique [0002] The fuel cell (Fuel Cell) can directly convert the chemical energy stored in the fuel and oxidant into electrical energy. It has high conversion efficiency, environmental friendliness, and high reliability. It is considered to be the preferred efficient and sustainable power generation technology in the 21st century. [0003] Among all kinds of fuel cells, the renewable fuel cell (Regenerative Fuel Cell Sectem, referred to as RFC) is currently the energy storage system with the highest specific energy. It consists of two main parts: a water electrolysis (WE) pool and a fuel cell (FC). It can electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen through the electrolytic cell, and then generate electricity through the fuel cell to generate water from hydrogen and oxygen. It has the...
