Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] As a highly efficient energy conversion device, fuel cells have attracted widespread attention due to their zero emissions and high energy density.
[0003] The battery stack is a whole composed of single cells consisting of multiple bipolar plates and membrane electrode assemblies connected in series. It increases the number of single cells to improve voltage and power output, and is a key structure for achieving electrical energy conversion.
[0004] The bipolar plate is a key structural component of the battery stack. It provides gas distribution channels to ensure that the hydrogen and oxygen required for the electrochemical reaction are separated on both sides of the membrane electrode assembly. It also conducts current and provides mechanical support, playing a vital role in battery performance and durability.
[0005] The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) consists of two electrodes, the anode (positive electrode) and the cathode (negative electrode), and is the key place for electrochemical reactions. The anode catalyzes the hydrogen oxidation reaction, and the cathode catalyzes the oxygen reduction reaction, transferring protons through the proton exchange membrane to generate current.
[0006] The electrode consists of a catalyst layer, a gas diffusion layer and a proton exchange membrane. The catalyst layer promotes the redox reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, the gas diffusion layer provides mechanical strength and gas transmission channels, and the proton exchange membrane is responsible for conducting protons and separating the reaction gases.
[0007] The common flow channel refers to the channel used to uniformly distribute fluids such as hydrogen, air and coolant to each single cell in the fuel cell stack. It ensures the uniform distribution of reaction gases and coolant, and plays an important role in the performance and durability of the fuel cell stack.
[0008] As the core component of the fuel cell, the stack is composed of dozens to hundreds of bipolar plates and membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) alternating with each other. The bipolar plates and MEAs must be sealed to prevent hydrogen or air from leaking into the atmosphere from between the bipolar plates and MEAs, and from leaking from one side of the MEA through the edge to the other side.
[0009] The composition of the medium flowing in the common flow channel of hydrogen or air in the fuel cell stack is complex, including hydrogen, air, nitrogen, acidic water, etc. The flow rate of hydrogen or air is as high as tens to hundreds of meters per second, and the total length of a single interface seal is as high as several kilometers.
