Abstract

The invention provides a microporous layer structure of a fuel cell. The microporous layer structure comprises a high water-permeable microporous layer and a low water-permeable microporous layer which are arranged in an overlapped manner in sequence; along the direction of an air flow path, the thickness of the high water-permeable microporous layer is increased progressively, the thickness of the low water-permeable microporous layer is decreased progressively, and the total thickness of the microporous layer structure keeps consistent; at an air inlet, the thickness of the high water-permeable microporous layer is greater than that of the low water-permeable microporous layer, and at an air outlet, the thickness of the high water-permeable microporous layer is smaller than that of the low water-permeable microporous layer. The invention also provides a preparation method of the microporous layer structure and an anode assembly of the fuel cell. According to the microporous layer structure of the fuel cell provided by the invention, the water content of a gas inlet area and the water content of a gas outlet area in the fuel cell can be balanced, and finally, the stability of thefuel cell at various temperatures is improved, so that the functions such as durability are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a microporous layer structure of a fuel cell, a preparation method thereof and a fuel cell cathode assembly. Background technique [0002] Due to the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, low emission and no pollution, fuel cells have broad prospects for development in the fields of transportation, backup power, and distributed power stations. A typical fuel cell cell consists of an electrolyte membrane (typically a proton exchange membrane), catalytic electrodes for the cathode and anode, a gas diffusion layer, and bipolar plates. Gas diffusion media in fuel cells typically consist of a conductive porous substrate such as carbon fiber paper or carbon cloth, with a microporous layer attached to it. The microporous layer usually includes carbon powder and hydrophobic fluoropolymer, which plays a role in drainage and ventilation and enhances electron transport capabi...
