Abstract

The invention discloses a metal bipolar plate for a fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. The metal bipolar plate for fuel cells of the present invention is coated with a layer of anti-corrosion film on the bottom and side surfaces of the flow field groove of the bipolar plate body, and the surface of the flow field ridge is coated with a layer of doped conductive carbon material. The conductive resin coating separates the coating at the flow field ridge and the flow field groove. The anti-corrosion film at the flow field groove is made of polyvinylidene fluoride or polytetrafluoroethylene, which has good corrosion resistance and excellent adhesion High, it is not easy to fall off during the use of the fuel cell; while the conductive resin coating at the flow field ridge is a mixture of conductive carbon material and resin, which improves the conductivity while ensuring corrosion resistance and adhesion, thereby ensuring The overall performance of the fuel cell is better.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a metal bipolar plate for a fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The bipolar plate is one of the core components of the fuel cell. Its function is to separate the reaction gas, collect and conduct current, support the membrane electrode, and discharge the waste heat generated by the battery reaction. [0003] In the prior art, widely used materials for manufacturing bipolar plates are graphite and metal plates. Metal bipolar plates have the advantages of good electrical conductivity, small size, light weight, high strength, airtightness, and easy processing. However, metal materials are not corrosion-resistant in the working environment of fuel cells. After being corroded, a passivation film is formed on the surface to increase contact resistance. , the corroded ions pollute the membrane electrode, so the metal bipolar plate needs to be su...
