Problems solved by technology

Excellent electrical conductivity requires a high content of conductive fillers, which in turn tends to result in lower mechanical strength
Conversely, good mechanical strength depends on a high content of resin binder, which will cause a significant drop in the conductivity of the bipolar plate
Therefore, this kind of composite bipolar plate has the difficulty of taking into account the mechanical strength and electrical conductivity at the same time.

Abstract

The invention provides a composite bipolar plate. The composite bipolar plate comprises an upper surface layer, a lower surface layer and one or more intermediate layers, wherein one or more transition layers exist between the upper surface layer or the lower surface layer and each intermediate layer. The lower surface layer, the transition layer, the intermediate layer, the transition layer and the upper surface layer are sequentially placed into a die with a flow field and is spread and cold pressed to prepare a preform. Then, the preform is hot-pressed and is finally subjected to processessuch as demolding and aftertreatment to prepare the composite bipolar plate. The composite bipolar plate provided by the invention effectively balances the conflict between conductivity and bending strength and has good bending strength, conductivity and gas permeability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a composite bipolar plate used for fuel cells and its preparation method and application. technical background [0002] The increasingly severe energy problems and the environment force people to constantly seek new, cleaner and more efficient energy sources. A fuel cell (Fuel Cell) is an energy conversion device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It has high energy conversion efficiency, high energy density, Environmental friendliness and many other advantages have attracted much attention from academia and industry. [0003] The bipolar plate is a key component of the fuel cell, which distributes the fuel and oxidant, realizes the electrical connection between the monolithic cells, removes waste heat from the active area, prevents gas and coolant leakage, and facilitates water management in the cell and other functions. The first widely used b...
