Abstract

The invention discloses a monopole plate for a hydrogen fuel cell, a preparation method of the monopole plate and the hydrogen fuel cell, and belongs to the technical field of hydrogen fuel cell research. The monopole plate is prepared from expanded graphite and graphene. According to the preparation method, a graphene layer is added into the monopole plate, and the high-density (2-2.1 g / cm<-3>) monopole plate with an expanded graphite / graphene / expanded graphite sandwich structure is obtained by combining an in-situ densification means. Compared with a traditional monopole plate for the hydrogen fuel cell, the monopole plate provided by the invention has the advantages that due to the fact that the electrical conductivity (8 * 10<5>S / m) and the thermal conductivity (as high as 1500 Wm <-1>K<-1>) of the middle graphene layer are very high, the thermal conductivity and the electrical conductivity of the monopole plate are also greatly improved. And the conductivity of the monopole plateis improved, so that the electron transmission speed of the bipolar plate can be greatly improved, and the use efficiency of the whole hydrogen fuel cell is improved. And the service life of the hydrogen fuel cell can be prolonged by improving the heat-conducting property.
