Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the fuel cell, the gas diffusion layer includes a substrate and a microporous layer. The substrate is made of carbon fiber paper. The preparation method of the microporous layer is to apply the slurry to one side of the substrate to form a microporous layer; the current fuel cells are all One side of the substrate is coated with paste to form a single microporous layer. The thermal battery with this kind of microporous layer has defects. When the fuel cell is working at a high current density, the single-layer microporous layer prepared by the traditional process is difficult to meet its conductivity. Air drainage function, more serious flooding problems
