Problems solved by technology

At present, the weight problem of the bipolar plate has been effectively improved, but the base material of the plate with a lightweight design is mostly stainless steel or titanium alloy, which is easy to passivate the surface, so its surface resistance is likely to increase rapidly in the battery environment. As a result, the standard for battery use has not been met, and a large number of coatings and modification technologies for surface modification of metal plates have appeared. Although some methods have indeed effectively improved the conductivity of the surface of the plate, and at the same time improved The durability of the plate is improved, including the use of multi-layer design to fill pinholes, the introduction of precious metals to improve corrosion resistance, and the use of special methods to improve the density of the coating, etc. Even so, the best technology at present can only meet the needs of fuel cells. 3000 hours, still unable to meet the level of civilian promotion

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cell functional coating, in particular to a superconducting and super corrosion resistant functional coating of a fuel cell metal bipolar plate and a preparation method thereof. The superconducting and super corrosion resistant functional coating of the fuel cell metal bipolar plate comprises a self-healing layer, a super corrosion resistant layer and a selectively deposited superconducting layer. The premise of the superconducting and super corrosion resistant functional coating of the fuel cell metal bipolar plate is enhancing the service life of the fuel cell metal polar plate. The superconducting and super corrosion resistant functional coating material of the fuel cell metal bipolar plate disclosed by the invention has the capability of filling the pinholes automatically during use, therefore, a recycle multilayer structure to avoid the pinholes is not required to design; meanwhile, the coating has the super corrosion resistant and the superconducting compositions, therefore, the lower contact resistance and corrosion current density compared with the prior art can be achieved without adding noble metals, and the processing cost of the metal plate is greatly reduced.

Background technique [0002] As a synonym for the innovation of new energy vehicles in the 21st century, proton exchange membrane fuel cells have market promotion prospects that cannot be replaced by pure electric vehicles and are of great significance in improving the global environment. Pollutant discharge and battery recycling do not have the environmental pollution issues that pure electric vehicles need to consider. Therefore, countries around the world are scrambling to develop their related technologies, among which the selection of bipolar plate materials for fuel cells and the research and development of surface modification methods are particularly prominent, because bipolar plates are the core components of ...
