Problems solved by technology

However, this process is complex, with many steps, industrialization is difficult, and the product conductivity is low
[0007] Therefore, the traditional gas diffusion layer has disadvantages such as low strength, high brittleness, fragility during operation, insufficient lateral thermal conductivity, high processing cost, and complicated process, and the controllability, consistency, and designability of the pore structure preparation are relatively low. Low, it is difficult to combine theoretical simulation calculation and optimal design of material transmission

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a gas diffusion layer, a preparation method thereof and a fuel cell. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It uses hydrogen, natural gas, methanol and other fuels and pure oxygen or air as raw materials to undergo oxidation-reduction reactions at the cathode and anode of the battery, thereby continuously generating direct current. Fuel cells can be divided into six categories: phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC), molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), direct methanol fuel cell (DAFC), alkaline fuel cell (AFC) and proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Among them, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is considered to be the most promising technology for aerospace, military, electric vehicles and regional industries due to its advantages of no noise, zero pollution, no c...
