Abstract

The invention relates to a wide-width humidity self-adaptive fuel cell gas diffusion layer which comprises a carbonaceous porous base material (1), a leveling layer (2) and a corrugated layer (3) which are sequentially stacked; the leveling layer (2) is made of carbon powder dispersion liquid in a self-made mode, and the corrugated layer (3) is made of carbon powder gel in a self-made mode. Compared with the prior art, self-adaption of a fuel cell under the wide-width humidity working condition can be achieved, and the preparation method is simple and environmentally friendly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gas diffusion layer for a fuel cell, in particular to a fuel cell gas diffusion layer with a wide width and humidity self-adaptation. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), mainly consists of bipolar plate (Bipolar Plate), cathode / anode gas diffusion layer (Gas Diffusion Layer, GDL), cathode / anode catalyst layer (Catalyst Layer, CL), proton exchange membrane (Membrane ) and other key components. During the operation of PEMFC, the performance of the battery is affected by many factors, mainly including the catalytic activity of the electrocatalyst, the conductivity of the electrode, the conductivity of the proton exchange membrane, the internal water management and thermal management of the battery, etc. Among them, the defects of water management cause the battery The drop in performance is particularly noticeable. [0003] The ideal battery operating state is that the water transfer in th...
