Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel cell gas diffusion layer, a preparation method thereof, and a fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a kind of fuel cell with proton exchange membrane as the conductive medium, mainly composed of bipolar plate (bipolar plate), gas diffusion layer (gas diffusion layer, GDL), catalytic layer (catalyst layer, CL) and proton exchange membrane (proton exchange membrane), in which, the surface of the bipolar plate is processed with a gas channel (gas channel, GC), such as figure 1 shown. [0003] The basic working principle of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is as follows: on the anode side, hydrogen gas is passed into the gas channel on the bipolar plate, transported through the gas diffusion layer to the catalytic layer, and electrochemically reacts under the action of the catalyst to generate protons and electrons ,which is: [0004] h 2 →2H + +2e - [0005] The ...
