Abstract

The invention relates to a composite coating for a water electrolysis metal bipolar plate and a preparation method. The composite coating comprises self-healing layers and corrosion-resistant layers which are sequentially and alternately arranged from the surface of the metal bipolar plate to the outer side, the self-healing layers and the corrosion-resistant layers are alternately arranged at least once, and the outermost layer is a conductive layer; the self-healing layer is an alloy of one or more than two of titanium, zirconium, niobium, chromium and tantalum, the compact corrosion-resistant layer is a transition metal nitrogen oxide layer, and the outermost conductive layer is a transition metal nitride layer. The composite coating disclosed by the invention can keep relatively high conductivity and relatively good structural integrity in a water electrolysis environment, the contact resistance and corrosion current of a metal plate base material are reduced, and the durability of a metal plate is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of water electrolysis, in particular to a composite coating used for water electrolysis metal bipolar plates. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis is considered to be an ideal substitute for alkaline water electrolysis, and its higher current density and operating power, as well as the flexibility of dynamic operation, make them an intermittent energy source (such as wind energy, solar energy, and tidal energy, etc.) Ideal for energy storage systems. The membranes in the electrolyzer provide high proton conductivity, low gas permeability and allow a compact system design without circulation of liquid alkaline electrolyte, which makes proton exchange membrane electrolyzers safer and more reliable than alkaline electrolyzers. The bipolar plate is an important component in the proton exchange membrane electrolyzer. It is mainly used to separate the individual electrolyzers, conduct h...
