Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen fuel cells, and particularly relates to a treatment method for a titanium bipolar plate of a hydrogen fuel cell and a titanium bipolar plate. Background Art
[0002] As an efficient and clean energy conversion device, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) plays a key role in the hydrogen-electricity coupling system. It directly converts the chemical energy of hydrogen into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction, while generating by-product heat energy. It has advantages such as high energy conversion efficiency and zero carbon emissions, so it has broad application prospects in the fields of renewable energy integration, microgrid power supply, and transportation power.
[0003] In a hydrogen fuel cell, the bipolar plate (BPP) is one of the core components, undertaking multiple functions such as conductive series connection, gas distribution, heat dissipation, and structural support. Among them, the titanium bipolar plate has gradually become an important alternative to traditional graphite bipolar plates due to its light weight, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. However, in the strongly acidic (pH 2-3) and oxidation-reduction alternating environment of the fuel cell, an insulating oxide film (TiO2) is easily formed on the surface of titanium metal, resulting in an increase in contact resistance and affecting the battery efficiency; at the same time, in the hydrogen-electricity coupling system, due to the intermittency of renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy, the fuel cell needs to be frequently started and stopped to adapt to fluctuating working conditions, which further exacerbates the corrosion and performance degradation problems of the titanium bipolar plate.
[0004] At present, in order to improve the stability and conductivity of the titanium bipolar plate, the industry generally adopts surface modification technologies such as nitriding treatment to generate a titanium nitride (TiN) coating on the surface of titanium to enhance corrosion resistance. However, the single nitriding treatment technology has obvious limitations: one is the poor coating uniformity. The too-fast growth rate of TiN during the nitriding process is likely to cause stacking or insufficient local coverage, affecting the protection effect; the other is the limited improvement in conductivity. Although TiN has certain conductivity, it is still difficult to completely offset the high resistance effect of the surface oxide film; the third is the poor adaptability to fluctuating working conditions. Under the stress of frequent start and stop, the single coating is prone to peeling or generating microcracks, accelerating performance degradation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the above-mentioned disadvantages and deficiencies existing in the prior art, one of the purposes of the present invention is to at least solve one or more of the above problems existing in the prior art. In other words, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a treatment method for a titanium bipolar plate of a hydrogen fuel cell and a titanium bipolar plate that meet one or more of the foregoing requirements, so as to solve the problem of poor durability of the titanium bipolar plate due to unstable or fluctuating working conditions in the hydrogen-electricity coupling system of the fuel cell.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating a titanium bipolar plate of a hydrogen fuel cell. The titanium bipolar plate is a titanium metal bipolar plate or a titanium alloy bipolar plate. The treatment method includes the steps of: S1. Pretreating the titanium bipolar plate to remove impurities and oxide films on its surface; S2. Nitriding the pretreated titanium bipolar plate; S3. Acid pickling the nitrided titanium bipolar plate to form a passivation layer; S4. Carburizing the acid-pickled titanium bipolar plate.
[0007] As a preferred solution, the pretreatment in step S1 is specifically: surface grinding, ultrasonic cleaning, and drying of the titanium bipolar plate for standby; the ultrasonic cleaning is carried out in acetone or hydrochloric acid or deionized water or absolute ethanol.
[0008] As a preferred solution, the nitriding treatment in step S2 adopts a plasma nitriding process or a thermochemical treatment nitriding process. The specific steps of adopting the plasma nitriding process include: placing the titanium bipolar plate in a plasma nitriding furnace, evacuating, replacing with argon, turning on the voltage, and introducing a nitriding gas and then heating up to carry out nitriding treatment.
[0009] As a preferred solution, the process parameters of the nitriding treatment are: the voltage range is set to [600V, 700V]; the nitriding temperature range is set to [750°C, 850°C]; the nitriding time range is set to [6h, 10h]; the internal pressure of the plasma nitriding furnace is set to [200Pa, 250Pa].
[0010] As a preferred solution, the nitriding gas is a mixture of N2 and H2, and the molar ratio range of N2 to H2 is set to [1:2, 2:1]; the flow rate range of the nitriding gas is set to [600sccm, 800sccm].
[0011] As a preferred solution, the acid pickling treatment in step S3 adopts nitric acid, and the concentration range of nitric acid is set to [25%, 35%].
[0012] As a preferred solution, the process parameters of the acid pickling treatment in step S3 are: the acid pickling temperature range is set to [40°C, 60°C]; the acid pickling time range is set to [20min, 50min].
[0013] As a preferred solution, the carburizing gas used in the carburizing treatment in step S4 is a mixture of acetylene and argon, and the molar ratio range of acetylene to argon is set to [3:1, 8:1].
[0014] As a preferred solution, the process parameters of the carburizing treatment in step S4 are as follows: the range of the carburizing temperature is set to [550 °C, 750 °C]; the range of the carburizing time is set to [6 h, 10 h].
[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a titanium bipolar plate, which is obtained by the treatment method described in the first aspect.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In view of the strict requirements of the hydrogen-electricity coupling system for hydrogen fuel cells, and the technical bottleneck existing in the single nitriding treatment of existing titanium bipolar plates - the nitriding process window is narrow (excessive nitriding easily leads to the rapid stacking growth of TiN, affecting the coating uniformity; insufficient nitriding is difficult to achieve complete coverage of the substrate, and even defects such as local stacking and non-coverage coexist), the present invention proposes a three-stage synergistic mechanism of nitriding - acid pickling - carburizing to construct a "gradient functionalization" protection system on the surface of the titanium bipolar plate - the nitrided layer provides basic corrosion resistance, the acid pickled layer ensures denseness, and the carburized layer guarantees conductivity. The three work together to solve the contradiction between durability and conductivity under fluctuating working conditions.
[0017] Furthermore, more detailed beneficial effects will be described in combination with specific embodiments in the specific implementation manner. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] In the following description, multiple embodiments of the present invention are provided, and different embodiments can be replaced or combined. Therefore, the present invention can also be considered to include all possible combinations of the same and / or different embodiments described. Thus, if one embodiment includes features A, B, and C, and another embodiment includes features B and D, then the present invention should also be considered to include embodiments containing all other possible combinations of A, B, C, and D, even though such embodiments may not be explicitly described in the following content.
[0022] The following description provides examples and does not limit the scope, applicability, or examples set forth in the claims. Changes may be made to the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Various processes or components may be appropriately omitted, substituted, or added to each example. For example, the methods described may be performed in a different order than described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. Additionally, features described with respect to some examples may be combined into other examples.
[0023] To facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, before explaining the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail, its application scenarios will be described first.
[0024] The processing method described in the embodiments of this specification is applied to the manufacturing process of hydrogen fuel cell titanium bipolar plates in a hydrogen-electric coupling system. In these scenarios, the application of the processing method aims to significantly improve the durability and conductivity of the bipolar plates under fluctuating operating conditions.
[0025] The following provides a brief explanation of the hydrogen-electric coupling system involved in this specification: A hydrogen-electric coupling system is an integrated energy system that combines renewable energy (such as wind energy and solar energy) with hydrogen energy technology, aiming to achieve efficient utilization, storage, and scheduling of energy. Currently, commonly used hydrogen-electric coupling systems generally include the following core units: (1) A renewable energy power generation unit, including wind power generation and photovoltaic power generation equipment, for converting wind energy and solar energy into electrical energy; (2) An electrical energy conversion unit, which converts the alternating current generated by renewable energy into direct current to meet the requirements of hydrogen production equipment; (3) A hydrogen production unit, which uses electrolysis technology to convert electrical energy into hydrogen, usually using a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer or an alkaline electrolyzer; (4) A hydrogen storage unit, which stores the produced hydrogen through high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks or solid hydrogen storage materials for subsequent use; (5) A hydrogen fuel cell unit, which converts the stored hydrogen into electrical energy and heat energy through a fuel cell for power supply or heating; (6) An energy storage unit, including a battery energy storage system, for short-term energy regulation and standby power supply.
[0026] When the hydrogen-electric coupling system is operating, it uses wind energy and solar energy power generation equipment to generate electrical energy under good wind and light conditions; when the generated power exceeds the demand, the excess electrical energy is used to produce hydrogen through electrolysis and convert the electrical energy into hydrogen for storage; when the wind and light conditions are insufficient, the stored hydrogen is used to generate power through a hydrogen fuel cell to provide electrical energy and heat energy for the system; through this, the coordinated optimization among wind energy, solar energy, hydrogen energy, and battery energy storage can be achieved through an intelligent control system to ensure the stability and efficiency of energy supply.
