Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and specifically proposes a flexible graphene carbon film for a gas diffusion layer of a fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. The present invention plasticizes gelatinized starch and polyvinyl alcohol with urea, adheres graphene and new carbon materials to porous inorganic powder to form large-particle composite carbon particles, and then combines them with carbon fibers, inorganic fibers, wood fibers, thermoplastic polymers, PTFE micropowder, soluble salt, and lubricant are extruded and granulated; the graphene carbon film prototype sheet is micro-foamed by a diaphragm forming machine; it is drawn and stretched by rollers, and the temperature of three sets of traction rollers is gradually increased at the same time , part of polyvinyl alcohol and gelatinized starch decompose and carbonize to form micropores, while polytetrafluoroethylene micro-powder micro-melts as a bonding proppant to ensure the strength and flexibility of the sheet, and further elutes soluble salts to form micropores to obtain flexibility Graphene carbon film. The graphene carbon film obtained by the method has excellent gas permeability, electrical conductivity, and flexibility, and the preparation process is easy to control, and is easy to scale and continuously produce.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cell materials, in particular to a flexible graphene carbon film for a fuel cell gas diffusion layer and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells are a new type of power generation. The development of fuel cells is of great significance for improving the environment and implementing sustainable energy development. Traditional combustion is to convert fuel combustion into heat energy, which drives a steam turbine to generate electricity. For example, nearly 70% of coal-fired power plants are consumed in the loss of boilers and turbogenerators. Although fuel cell power generation also uses fuel (hydrogen, methane, natural gas, methanol, ethanol, etc.), the energy is directly converted into electrical energy in the form of chemical energy through a special conversion medium, without burning, and there is no redundant energy In the conversion process, the theoretical energy conversion rate ...
