Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and in particular relates to a titanium substrate containing a corrosion-resistant coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In fuel cells or electrolyzers, the polar plates are an indispensable and important component. The bipolar plates account for about 48% of the total cost. The materials have evolved from graphite to stainless steel and titanium. Although graphite has excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, its brittleness and complex channel processing limit its practical application. Stainless steel has the potential to replace graphite due to its excellent mechanical properties, ductility, and electrical and thermal conductivity. However, stainless steel has poor chemical stability and cannot be directly used in fuel cells or electrolyzers. It is necessary to introduce high corrosion resistance and conductive coatings (such as C, titanium nitride, Ti / TiN, Au / TiN, TiN / C and (Ti, Zr)N, etc.), and its poor bonding strength needs to be solved. Compared with stainless steel, Ti exhibits superior corrosion resistance, but in a highly oxidizing environment, semiconductor titanium dioxide is formed on the titanium surface with low electrical conductivity, which directly affects the power cost and thermal conductivity, significantly increases ohmic polarization under fuel cell conditions, and causes the operating voltage to increase significantly with the increase of current in electrolyzer applications.
[0003] In order to achieve a balance between corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity of titanium plates, the application of surface coating is a common method. At present, there have been reports on carbides, nitrides, oxides, precious metals and carbon-based coatings of metals. The biggest disadvantage of carbide, nitride and carbon-based coatings is poor adhesion to the substrate. Precious metal coatings have low practicality due to their high cost. Ti with high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance n O 2n-1 Ti has great potential for protecting metal bipolar plates and has been shown to be effective in increasing surface electrical conductivity and improving corrosion resistance. n O 2n-1 Ti particles are used as raw materials and Ti is obtained by PVD methods such as magnetron sputtering and plasma spraying. n O 2n-1 The coating is expensive and not suitable for large-scale mass production, and the Ti n O 2n-1 The coating will have microscopic defects and be prone to local corrosion. A compact coating can be obtained by the CVD method, but the substrate needs to withstand high temperatures for a long time during the preparation process, which is prone to mechanical stress. The traditional heat treatment redox method is affected by many factors such as the titanium powder / titanium oxide ratio, temperature and time, and is prone to the formation of various sub-titanium oxide impurities, which is prone to local oxidation and reduces conductivity. At the same time, due to the long heat treatment time, the formed Ti n O 2n-1The grain size is several hundred nanometers and has twins. There are KirKendall voids inside the oxide layer and at the interface between the oxide and Ti metal due to the outward diffusion of elemental Ti. These defects reduce the durability of the plate.
