Abstract

The invention discloses a high-conductivity and corrosion-resistant graphite carbon protective multilayer composite coating as well as its preparation method and application. The highly conductive and corrosion-resistant graphite-like carbon protective multilayer composite coating includes a chromium-iridium transition layer and a graphite-like amorphous carbon layer formed sequentially on the surface of the substrate, wherein the content of iridium in the chromium-iridium transition layer is 2 ~10wt%. Further, the substrate includes a metal bipolar plate. The highly conductive and corrosion-resistant graphitic carbon protective multilayer composite coating provided by the present invention contains a chromium-iridium transition layer, which effectively provides a corrosion buffer layer through the doping of iridium elements, and the transition layer will form an oxide layer after corrosion. Iridium conductive path, this conductive path can avoid the continuous generation of chromium oxide layer, avoid the sharp increase of contact resistance, so as to realize the long-term protection of the metal bipolar plate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of surface engineering protection, and in particular relates to a high-conductivity and corrosion-resistant graphite-carbon protective multilayer composite coating and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are a new type of energy source that can directly convert hydrogen energy into electricity. Because of its advantages such as fast start-up, relatively low operating temperature, rapid response to various environments, no pollution, and high energy efficiency, it has a good application prospect in new energy vehicles, fixed and portable power supplies. A cell unit of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell usually consists of a bipolar plate (BPP), a membrane electrode (MEA), a gasket, and an end plate. Among the many components, the bipolar plate occupies 80% of the total mass of the fuel cell, almost the entire volume, and about 1...
