Problems solved by technology

However, when the amorphous carbon coating is sp 3 When the content is dominated, its corrosion resistance is excellent but its electrical conductivity is poor. When the coating is sp 2 When the structure is dominant, its electrical conductivity is excellent but its corrosion resistance is poor. Therefore, the comprehensive performance of amorphous carbon coatings in terms of electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance is still not ideal, which limits its application on the surface of metal bipolar plates.

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of surface engineering protection, and specifically relates to a metal bipolar plate high-conductivity and corrosion-resistant protective coating, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are a new type of energy that can directly convert hydrogen energy into electricity. Because of its fast start-up, relatively low operating temperature, rapid response to various environments, no pollution, and high energy efficiency, it has a good application prospect in new energy vehicles, fixed and portable power supplies. A battery cell of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is usually composed of a bipolar plate (BPP), a membrane electrode (MEA), a gasket and an end plate. Among the many components, the bipolar plate occupies 80% of the total mass of the fuel cell, almost the entire volume, and about 18%-28% of the manufacturing cost. Th...
