Problems solved by technology

In order to prepare a carbon-plastic composite bipolar plate material with a bulk conductivity higher than 5S / cm, the mass fraction of conductive filler should reach more than 50%. At this time, since the polymer matrix contains a large amount of conductive filler, laser welding, ultrasonic The welding strength is not high enough when welding with the electrode frame by welding and other methods, and it cannot play the role of sealing
