Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fuel cell technology, and in particular to a special graphite plate for fuel cells and its preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen-powered proton exchange membrane fuel cell systems are a promising alternative to traditional energy supply equipment. They convert the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy through a chemical reaction, emitting only water and heat during the process and not releasing greenhouse gases that cause environmental problems. This makes them an environmentally friendly green energy conversion device. A fuel cell system includes key components such as a catalyst, bipolar plates, a proton exchange membrane, and a gas diffusion layer. The bipolar plates are a crucial component of the fuel cell system, connecting multiple individual cells and bearing clamping forces, dividing the reaction zone, transporting reactant gases while preventing their escape, collecting and conducting current, and transferring the water and heat generated in the reaction.

[0003] Based on the matrix material, bipolar plates can be mainly divided into three categories: metal bipolar plates, graphite bipolar plates, and graphite composite bipolar plates. Graphite composite bipolar plates are made primarily from organic polymer resins and carbon-based conductive fillers. The resin matrix enhances mechanical properties and binds the conductive fillers, while the conductive fillers, represented by graphite, form a conductive network within the composite material, enabling the composite graphite bipolar plate to conduct electricity and heat. Currently, graphite composite bipolar plates are mainly manufactured by uniformly mixing graphite powder and resin before molding. However, the insulating properties of the resin matrix significantly reduce the material's conductivity, and ordinary resins lack long-term stability under high temperature or acidic environments. This results in the composite bipolar plate's conductivity, airtightness, and durability failing to meet the stringent requirements of fuel cells. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Preferably, the method for preparing the phenyl silicone resin includes the following steps: Mix 1.2-2.4 parts hexamethyldisiloxane, 6.9-13.8 parts phenyltrimethoxysilane, 3.4-6.8 parts ethanol, 3-6 parts water, and 1-2 parts glacial acetic acid thoroughly. Then, add 5.2-10.4 parts tetraethyl orthosilicate dropwise while stirring. After the addition is complete, slowly heat to 65-70°C and continue stirring for 6-8 hours. After the reaction is complete, remove the byproducts by rotary evaporation to obtain phenyl silicone resin.

[0012] Preferably, the preparation method of the borosilicate modified phenolic resin includes the following steps: 0.75-1.5 parts of phenyl silicone resin were added to 1.5-3 parts of ethanol and stirred to dissolve, yielding a phenyl silicone resin ethanol solution. 25-50 parts of boron phenolic resin powder were added to 12.5-25 parts of ethanol and heated to 50-60℃ and stirred to dissolve, yielding a boron phenolic resin ethanol solution. The phenyl silicone resin ethanol solution was added to the boron phenolic resin ethanol solution and stirred for 1-2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the temperature was first raised to 80-90℃ and treated for 30-40 minutes; then raised to 130-140℃ and treated for 30-40 minutes; finally, the temperature was raised to 150-160℃ and treated for 30-40 minutes. After cooling, the silicon-boron modified phenolic resin was obtained.

[0013] This application provides a manufacturing process for a special graphite plate for fuel cells, which adopts the following technical solution: A process for preparing a special graphite plate for fuel cells includes the following steps: 78-82 parts of pre-expanded graphite, 2-3 parts of carbon black, 6-8 parts of graphene-modified mesophase carbon microspheres, and 1.5-2.5 parts of silicon carbide whiskers are added to a high-speed mixer and dry-mixed at 60-80℃ for 20-30 minutes. Then, 4-6 parts of borosilicate-modified phenolic resin and 0.3-0.5 parts of silane coupling agent are added, and high-speed shear mixing continues for 30-45 minutes. 20-30 parts of anhydrous ethanol are slowly added, and stirring continues for 15-20 minutes. After the mixture is fully mixed, the material is dried in a vacuum drying oven and crushed into powder. The powder is placed in a mold and pressed at 25-30℃ and a molding pressure of 10-11 MPa for 3-4 minutes to form the desired shape. The sample is then cured by step-heating pressing, and after cooling, a special graphite plate for fuel cells is obtained.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. This application uses pre-expanded graphite as the main conductive framework. After electrochemical intercalation and high-temperature expansion treatment, the interlayer spacing is significantly increased. The worm-like structure gives it a high specific surface area and excellent compression resilience. It can achieve effective intergranular interlocking under low molding pressure. At the same time, its high graphitization ensures the high electrical conductivity of the graphite plate.

[0016] 2. This application involves ultrasonically dispersing and thermally polymerizing graphene oxide and pitch in a quinoline solvent, with graphene sheets uniformly embedded in the carbon skeleton of mesophase carbon microspheres. This core-shell or embedded structure allows the mesophase carbon microspheres to combine the easy graphitization properties of mesophase pitch with the high electrical and thermal conductivity advantages of graphene, which can significantly improve the electrical conductivity and durability of graphite plates.

[0017] 3. The borosilicate-modified phenolic resin used in this application is synergistically modified by introducing boron and organosilicon resin. The BO bonds in the borosilicate resin have high bond energy and can exist stably at high temperatures. The phenyl silicone resin forms Si-OC and Si-C bonds after high-temperature pyrolysis, transforming into ceramic phase residues. These ceramic phases not only fill some pores, improving the density and airtightness of the material, but also endow the graphite plate with excellent acid corrosion resistance and extend the service life of the graphite plate.

The preparation process of a special graphite plate for fuel cells according to claim 7, characterized in that: The stepped temperature curing process is as follows: first, from room temperature to 800℃, the temperature rises at a rate of 5℃ / min; then from 800℃ to 1200℃, the temperature rises at a rate of 3℃ / min; and finally from 1200℃ to 3000℃, the temperature rises at a rate of 2℃ / min.
