[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a hydrogen fuel cell monomer 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may include: an anode plate 110, including an anode substrate 111, a hydrogen flow channel 112 arranged on two sides of the anode substrate 111 opposite to each other, and an anode terminal 113 connected to the anode substrate 111; cathode plates 120, respectively arranged on both sides of the anode plate 110, each cathode plate 120 including a cathode substrate 121, an air channel 122 arranged on the cathode substrate 121 and a cathode terminal 123 connected to the cathode substrate 121, the cathode terminals 123 of the cathode plates 120 located on both sides of the anode plate 110 are connected to each other and separated from the anode terminal 113; a membrane electrode 130, arranged between the anode plate 110 and the cathode plate 120.

[0038] The hydrogen fuel cell unit 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include an anode plate 110, a cathode plate 120 and a membrane electrode 130. The cathode plates 120 are respectively disposed on both sides of the anode plate 110, and the membrane electrode 130 is interposed between the anode plate 110 and the cathode plate 120.

[0039] The hydrogen fuel cell monomer 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model can form two power generation units. The middle anode plate 110 is a common anode plate of the two power generation units, and forms a power generation unit with two cathode plates 120 located on both sides thereof.

[0040] Specifically, the anode plate 110 may include an anode substrate 111, a hydrogen flow channel 112 disposed on both sides of the anode substrate 111 opposite to each other, and an anode terminal 113 connected to the anode substrate 111. The anode terminal 113 may serve as a common negative electrode. Each cathode plate 120 may include a cathode substrate 121, an air channel 122 disposed on the cathode substrate 121, and a cathode terminal 123 connected to the cathode substrate 121. The cathode terminals 123 of the two cathode plates 120 may be connected to each other and separated from the anode terminal 113, serving as a positive electrode. Two power generation units may be connected in parallel to form a battery cell.

[0041] According to the embodiments of the utility model, the battery cells do not need to stack dozens to hundreds of bipolar plates and membrane electrodes. On the one hand, the reliability can be improved by improving the sealing. On the other hand, hydrogen fuel cell groups of different powers can be formed by adjusting the number of hydrogen fuel cell cells according to different application scenarios, which is convenient and flexible.

[0042] According to the embodiments of the present utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the anode plate 110, the cathode plate 120 and the membrane electrode 130 may be combined with each other. For example, through holes may be formed on the peripheries of the anode substrate 111, the cathode substrate 121 and the membrane electrode 130, and the three may be connected by fasteners 1 (bolts and nuts). However, the method of combining the anode plate 110, the cathode plate 120 and the membrane electrode 130 is not limited thereto, and for example, the three may also be combined with each other using riveting and clamping.

[0043] According to the embodiments of the present utility model, Figure 3 As shown, the anode plate 110 may further include a hydrogen inlet 114 and a hydrogen outlet 115, which are spaced apart from each other and are both connected to the hydrogen flow channel 112 on both sides of the anode substrate 111. Hydrogen can enter the hydrogen flow channel 112 through the hydrogen inlet 114, and unreacted hydrogen can flow out through the hydrogen outlet 115.

[0044] According to the embodiments of the present utility model, Figure 3 As shown, the hydrogen inlet 114 and the hydrogen outlet 115 can be arranged on one side of the anode substrate 111, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly of the hydrogen fuel cell stack using a quick plug-in design. Figure 3 As shown, the anode plate 110 may further include an insert plate 116 disposed on one side of the anode substrate 111, the insert plate 116 protruding relative to the cathode substrate 121, and the hydrogen inlet 114 and the hydrogen outlet 115 may be disposed on the insert plate 116. As an example, Figure 3 As shown, the anode terminal 113 may be disposed opposite to the plug board 116 in a vertical direction. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, as long as the anode terminal 113 can be formed.

[0045] As an example, Figure 3 As shown, the hydrogen inlet 114 can be simultaneously connected to the hydrogen flow channels 112 on both sides of the anode plate 110, and the hydrogen outlet 115 can be simultaneously connected to the hydrogen flow channels 112 on both sides of the anode plate 110, and the hydrogen inlet 114 and the hydrogen outlet 115 are separated from each other. That is, after the hydrogen enters from the hydrogen inlet 114, the flow channel enters the hydrogen flow channels 112 on both sides of the anode plate 110, and the unreacted hydrogen is discharged from the hydrogen outlet 115. For example, the hydrogen inlet 114 can be connected to the hydrogen flow channel 112 from the inside of the plug plate 116, and similarly, the hydrogen outlet 115 can be connected to the hydrogen flow channel 112 from the inside of the plug plate 116.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the hydrogen flow channels 112 disposed on both sides of the anode substrate 111 can be formed by grooving both sides of the anode substrate 111. The structure of the hydrogen flow channel 112 is not specifically limited, as long as the hydrogen flow channel 112 can be connected to the hydrogen inlet 114 and the hydrogen outlet 115, and any hydrogen flow channel structure known in the art can be applied. In addition, the structures of the hydrogen flow channels 112 disposed on both sides of the anode substrate 111 can be the same or different from each other, and there is no specific limitation on this.

[0047] According to the embodiments of the present utility model, Figure 3 As shown, the anode plate 110 may further include a sealing ring 117, which may be fixed to the anode substrate 111 around the hydrogen flow channel 112. Specifically, the anode plate 110 may include two sealing rings 117, which respectively seal the hydrogen flow channels 112 on both sides of the anode substrate 111 to prevent hydrogen leakage.

[0048] According to the embodiments of the present utility model, Figure 4 As shown, each cathode plate 120 may include a cathode substrate 121 and an air channel 122 disposed on the cathode substrate 121. According to an embodiment of the utility model, the air channel 122 may penetrate the cathode substrate 121. That is, the air channel 122 is formed by hollowing out the middle reaction zone of the cathode substrate 121, that is, the cathode substrate 121 is directly exposed to the air. In conventional hydrogen fuel cells, it is necessary to groove the cathode substrate to form a cathode flow channel and to correspondingly set an air inlet and outlet connected thereto, resulting in a complex structure. According to an embodiment of the utility model, the air channel 122 is formed by directly hollowing out the middle reaction zone of the cathode substrate 121, and the structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0049] It should be understood that the structures of the air passages 122 of the two cathode plates 120 do not need to be completely identical, as long as they can achieve the function of letting in air. Figure 4 As mentioned above, the air channels 122 may be arranged in multiple rows side by side in the reaction zone.

[0050] According to the embodiments of the present utility model, Figure 2 As shown, the membrane electrode 130 is disposed between the anode plate 110 and the cathode plate 120. Figure 5 As shown, the membrane electrode 130 may include, from the side close to the cathode plate 120 to the side close to the anode plate 110 , a cathode gas diffusion layer 133 , a cathode catalyst layer, a proton exchange membrane 132 , an anode catalyst layer, and an anode gas diffusion layer 134 in sequence.

[0051] The proton exchange membrane 132 may be coupled to the frame 131, and the cathode gas diffusion layer 133, the cathode catalyst layer and the anode catalyst layer, and the anode gas diffusion layer 134 may be located on both sides of the proton exchange membrane 132. The frame 131 may be coupled to the anode plate 110 and the cathode plate 120, for example, by bolts.

[0052] As an example, the cathode gas diffusion layer 133 and the anode gas diffusion layer 134 may be carbon paper, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any material known in the art that can be used as a gas diffusion layer may be applied to the present invention. In addition, the cathode catalyst layer, the anode catalyst layer and the proton exchange membrane are also conventional structures and materials in the art, and are not described in detail here.

[0053] During the operation of a hydrogen fuel cell monomer, hydrogen passes through the anode gas diffusion layer 134 from the hydrogen flow channel 112 to the anode catalyst layer, and is adsorbed on the anode catalyst layer. Under the catalytic action of the catalyst in the anode catalyst layer, hydrogen is decomposed into hydrogen ions, i.e., hydrogen protons, and 2 electrons are released. Air passes through the cathode gas diffusion layer 133 through the air channel 122 to the cathode catalyst layer, and is adsorbed on the cathode catalyst layer. At the same time, hydrogen ions pass through the proton exchange membrane 132 to the cathode catalyst layer, and electrons also reach the cathode catalyst layer through the external circuit. Under the action of the catalyst in the cathode catalyst layer, oxygen reacts with hydrogen ions and electrons to generate water. At the same time, electrons form a current under the connection of the external circuit, and electrical energy can be output to the load through appropriate connection.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the anode substrate 111, the cathode substrate 121 and the frame 131 of the membrane electrode 130 may form a substantially rectangular shape. However, the shapes of the anode substrate 111, the cathode substrate and the frame 131 are not limited thereto, and for example, may also form a substantially circular shape, etc. In addition, the specific materials of the anode substrate 111 and the cathode substrate 121 are not limited, and for example, may be graphite, metal, carbon composite material, etc.

[0055] The hydrogen fuel cell monomer according to the utility model can be used as an independent small hydrogen stack to generate electricity independently. In addition, a plurality of hydrogen fuel cell monomers can also be used to form a hydrogen fuel cell group.

[0056] Hydrogen fuel cell stack

[0058] like Figure 6As shown, the hydrogen fuel cell stack 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a housing 200 and a plurality of hydrogen fuel cell units 100 described above. The plurality of hydrogen fuel cell units 100 are connected in parallel or in series and are disposed in the housing 200 .

The plurality of slots 310 on the base 300 may be designed side by side, and the plurality of hydrogen fuel cell monomers 100 may be connected in parallel or in series as required.

[0060] The hydrogen fuel cell stack 1000 according to the embodiment of the utility model can be formed by fixing a plurality of sealed hydrogen fuel cell monomers 100 into the housing 200, so there is no need to consider the sealing during assembly, and no professional dust-free workshop and equipment are required, which makes it easier to manufacture. In addition, the hydrogen fuel cell stack 1000 according to the embodiment of the utility model can install a plurality of hydrogen fuel cell units by a quick-plug installation method, so the installation efficiency can be improved.

[0061] According to the embodiments of the present utility model, Figure 6 As shown, the housing 200 may be provided with a hydrogen inlet 210 and a hydrogen outlet 220 . The hydrogen inlet 210 and the hydrogen outlet 220 are in communication with the hydrogen flow passage 112 .

[0062] Specifically, the base 300 may include a hydrogen inlet channel and a hydrogen outlet channel, wherein the hydrogen inlet channel connects the hydrogen inlet 114 and the hydrogen inlet 210 of each hydrogen fuel cell unit 100, and the hydrogen outlet channel connects the hydrogen outlet 115 of each hydrogen fuel cell unit 100 and the hydrogen outlet 220 on the housing 200. Figure 6 and Figure 7 A base hydrogen inlet 320 and a base hydrogen outlet 330 may be provided on the base 300 at positions corresponding to the hydrogen inlet 210 and the hydrogen outlet 220 of the housing 200. Hydrogen may enter the hydrogen flow channel 112 through the hydrogen inlet 210, the hydrogen inlet 320, the hydrogen inlet channel and the hydrogen inlet 210 in sequence, and unreacted hydrogen may be discharged through the hydrogen outlet 115, the hydrogen outlet channel, the base hydrogen outlet 330 and the hydrogen outlet 220 in sequence.

The air inlet 230 and the air outlet 240 may be separated from the hydrogen inlet channel and the hydrogen outlet channel. As an example, since the air channel 122 of each hydrogen fuel cell unit 100 penetrates the cathode substrate 121 and is exposed in the housing 200, the air entering the housing 200 through the air inlet 230 may be directly used for the reaction of the fuel cell unit without the need to design other channels. The air that has not reacted completely may be discharged through the air outlet 240.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the utility model, in order to improve the purity of the air entering the housing 200, a filter element may be provided on one side of the air inlet 230 to filter impurities in the air. In addition, a humidifier may be provided on one side of the air inlet 230 to humidify the air when necessary to improve the reactivity.

In addition, the hydrogen fuel cell stack 1000 may further include a one-way valve provided at one side of the air outlet 240 so that air is only discharged from the air outlet 240 and air is not allowed to enter.

[0071] The hydrogen fuel cell group according to the utility model can be formed by fixing a plurality of sealed hydrogen fuel cell monomers into a shell, so there is no need to consider the sealing during assembly.
