Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of a proton exchange film fuel cell and particularly relates to a gas diffusion layer for the proton exchange film fuel cell and a preparation method thereof, and the proton exchange film fuel cell. The gas diffusion layer includes a base layer and a microporous layer, wherein the microporous layer is a sheet-like structure, and the base layer is laminated and connected with the microporous layer. The gas diffusion layer is advantaged in that the microporous layer is the sheet-like structure, the base layer is laminated and connected with the microporous layer, a problem that the preparation slurry leaks into the interior of the base layer to easily block the base layer and block a gas transmission passage during wet preparation of the microporous layer is solved, the gas diffusion layer is made to have better gas transmission capacity, moreover, the microporous layer is the sheet-like structure and can provide a flat surface, and contact ofthe gas diffusion layer with a catalytic layer is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and in particular relates to a gas diffusion layer for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, a preparation method thereof and a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell is the fifth-generation fuel cell developed after alkaline fuel cell, phosphoric acid fuel cell, molten carbonate fuel cell and solid oxide fuel cell. Due to the use of solid electrolyte polymer membrane as electrolyte, It has the characteristics of high energy conversion rate, low-temperature start-up, and no electrolyte leakage, so it is recognized as the most promising power source for aerospace, military, electric vehicles, and regional power stations. [0003] The electrode of proton exchange membrane fuel cell is composed of gas diffusion layer, catalytic layer and proton exchange membrane. Among them, the gas diffusion layer plays an im...
