Problems solved by technology

The moisture generated during the power generation process of the fuel cell can only be discharged out of the fuel cell through the flow channel groove. The drainage transmission and the reaction gas transmission share the same flow field channel, which makes the water carrying capacity and moisture discharge efficiency of the fuel cell relatively low, thus affecting The comprehensive performance of the fuel cell makes it necessary to further improve the power generation performance and cold start performance of the fuel cell

Abstract

The invention relates to a bipolar plate for scaly split-flow fuel cells containing capillary groove ridges. The flow channel ridge of the double-ridged plate is provided with capillary grooves, the upper part is in a rectangular groove structure, and the lower part is in a right-angled triangular groove structure; A scaly shunt ridge is arranged in the groove, and each scaly ridge is in a low-to-high structure along the gas flow direction. The moisture in the fuel cell diffusion layer is transported through the upper rectangular groove of the capillary groove, while the lower right-angled triangular groove can introduce moisture into the main flow field of the bipolar plate, thereby enhancing the drainage characteristics of the fuel cell bipolar plate and assisting in improving the fuel cell membrane. Gas transport properties in electrode diffusion layers to improve fuel cell power generation performance and cold start performance. Through the scaly shunt ridge, the gas can obtain the flow velocity perpendicular to the membrane electrode, enhance the gas mass transfer performance, and improve the power generation performance of the fuel cell.
