Problems solved by technology

However, metals with good corrosion resistance are generally due to the formation of dense oxide films on the surface, and oxides often have poor electrical conductivity. Therefore, ordinary metal bipolar plates have a contradiction between corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.

Abstract

The invention discloses a conductive corrosion-resistant metal bipolar plate for a fuel cell, and a preparation method thereof, wherein the metal bipolar plate comprises a metal titanium matrix and aconductive corrosion-resistant carburized layer, the metal matrix is pure titanium, and the surface layer is a conductive corrosion-resistant layer formed by a carburized layer taking TiC as a main phase. According to the preparation method, high-purity graphite is used as a carbon source, activated carbon particles are sputtered out under the action of ion bombardment, adsorbed to the surface ofa titanium substrate and diffused inwards, and a conductive corrosion-resistant carburized layer is formed at a time. The process is simple, the cost is low, and the conductive corrosion-resistant effect is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a conductive and corrosion-resistant metal bipolar plate for fuel cells and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] The bipolar plate is an important part of the fuel cell. Its working principle is that hydrogen and oxygen are passed into both sides of the proton exchange membrane with catalysts on both sides to form a potential difference. When the external circuit is connected, the electrode (catalyst) Reactions of gaining and losing electrons (oxidation-reduction reactions) occur respectively, thereby generating an electric current that can be utilized. [0003] Bipolar plates play many roles in fuel cells, so higher requirements are put forward for the performance of bipolar plates: high electrical conductivity, small contact resistance, good conductor of heat, good flow channel design, Good gas barrier properties, while requiring good corrosion resistance and...
