Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing carbon paper of a gas diffusion layer of a fuel cell by calendaring and the carbon paper. The carbon paper of the gas diffusion layer is prepared by the following steps of uniformly dispersing micropore conductive carbon fully infiltrated with a saturated salt solution, soluble salt particles, a hot-melt polymer and a fiber material, mixing, calendaring and stretching, and processing by a needle roller to obtain a thin sheet; and continuously passing the thin sheet through a guide roller in a solvent pool, leading out and drying the thin sheet, then leading the thin sheet into a clean water pool, and finally leading out and drying, trimming and coiling the thin sheet. According to the method, the conductive carbon material pre-occupying the soluble salt in the gaps and the soluble salt particles are dispersed in the polymer and then are subjected to hot calendering molding, small gaps of the carbon particles and macropores of the soluble salt particles after dissolution exist synergistically after washing desalination, needling treatment is further carried out, and finally infiltration and cold stretching are carried out in the solventpool, so that the carbon paper with high porosity is obtained. In addition, the preparation process is simple, the cost is low, and large-scale production is easy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of the fuel cell gas diffusion layer, in particular to a method for calendering and preparing carbon paper for the fuel cell gas diffusion layer and the carbon paper. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell has the characteristics of high energy efficiency, clean and pollution-free, and has become a research and development hotspot in various countries in recent years. Its core component, the three-in-one membrane electrode (MEA), is usually prepared by a hot-pressing process from a gas diffusion layer, a catalytic layer and a proton exchange membrane. The gas diffusion layer is composed of a conductive porous material, which plays multiple roles such as supporting the catalytic layer, collecting current, conducting gas, and discharging water. One of the key components of performance. [0003] The gas diffusion layer is usually composed of a base layer and a microporous layer. The ...
