Problems solved by technology

The mechanical and electrical conductivity of metal bipolar plates are significantly better than other types of bipolar plates, and they also have good machinability, but a series of problems such as high material cost and poor chemical corrosion resistance limit some of their application markets. It is difficult to realize large-scale application within a short period of time; the cost of plastic bipolar is low, and the performance of the bipolar plate can be adjusted by adjusting the ratio of resin and conductive filler, but it is difficult to reconcile the conductivity and mechanical strength of this type of bipolar plate However, it is difficult to obtain bipolar plates with excellent comprehensive performance; graphite bipolar plates are completely made of graphite materials through a certain molding process, and have good conductivity, but the production process is relatively complicated and the preparation cost is high. The heap field is also difficult to promote

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of the preparation of bipolar plates for power supplies, and particularly relates to a plastic bipolar plate and a preparation method thereof. The bipolar plate is prepared from three parts of a conducting material, a resin material and a functional material. The preparation method comprises the following main steps of forcibly mixing the conducting material, theresin material and the functional material, which are in a certain proportion, in a high speed ball mill, and carrying out compression molding on the uniformly mixed materials in a mold at a high temperature, so as to obtain the novel plastic bipolar plate. The plastic bipolar plate can be used for resolving the contradiction between the conductivity and the mechanical performance of a conventional plastic bipolar plate; while the strength and the corrosion resistance of the bipolar plate are improved, the conductivity of the bipolar plate is further ameliorated; further, the bipolar plate prepared by the method has the characteristics of being simple in process and low in raw-material and equipment cost, and the large-scale industrialized production is easily realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of bipolar plates for chemical power sources, in particular to a plastic bipolar plate and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] A large-scale fuel cell stack is composed of several or dozens of individual fuel cells connected in series or in parallel in a certain way to meet the working current density current or working voltage of the specified size output by the stack. The components connected to each other between different single cells are bipolar plates, also known as collector plates. The bipolar plate is used as a special wire to connect the positive and negative electrodes of different single batteries with each other. At the same time, its compactness can completely isolate the strong oxidizing materials and strong reducing materials in the single batteries, preventing them from contacting and causing battery short circuit. The above-mentioned functions put forward the f...
