Problems solved by technology

However, since the metal bipolar plate is prone to corrosion in the operating environment of the PEMFC fuel cell, the metal ions produced by corrosion will lead to a decrease in the performance of the membrane electrode, and the passivation film formed on the surface of the bipolar plate will increase the internal resistance of the fuel cell. resulting in lower fuel cell power density
At present, the surface modification method of metal bipolar plate is mainly to prepare a layer of noble metal coating, metal carbon / nitride coating, conductive Polymer coating and carbon film, etc., but these methods generally have problems such as complicated process technology and high cost

Abstract

The invention provides a fuel cell stainless steel bipolar plate preparation and surface modification method, which belongs to the technical field of fuel cells. The method comprises steps: the stainless steel bipolar plate is firstly prepared; and stainless steel bipolar plate surface modification is then carried out. After the stainless steel bipolar plate is prepared through chemical etching, with N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAC) as a solvent, nanocarbon/graphite as a conductive material and polyimide resin solution (PI)/ phenolic resin solution (PF) as an adhesive, a nanocarbon/PI/PF mixed coating (S1) with a carbon content of 10 to 30% and a nanocarbon/PI/PF mixed coating (S2) with a conductive material content of 40 to 70% are prepared respectively. Then, in a nitrogen atomization spray method, spray is carried out on the stainless steel bipolar plate. Finally, through low temperature hot pressing treatment, the electrical conductivity and the corrosion resistance of the coating on the ridge of the stainless steel bipolar plate are improved, and the contact resistance with carbon paper is reduced. The process is simple and efficient, the coating has good corrosion resistance and strong electrical conductivity, and the bonding force between the coating and the substrate is strong.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a preparation and surface modification method of a fuel cell stainless steel bipolar plate. Background technique [0002] As one of the key components in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, bipolar plates have a great impact on the fuel cell's operating life, cost and wide-ranging applications. At present, metal bipolar plates have gradually become the mainstream direction of bipolar plate research because of their small size, strong electrical conductivity, and high strength. However, since the metal bipolar plate is prone to corrosion in the operating environment of the PEMFC fuel cell, the metal ions produced by corrosion will lead to a decrease in the performance of the membrane electrode, and the passivation film formed on the surface of the bipolar plate will increase the internal resistance of the fuel cell. As a result, the power density of the fuel cell is reduced. ...
