AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing fuel cell separators lack sufficient hydrogen impermeability, electrical conductivity, and mechanical properties when compressed and molded in a short time, and also have low production efficiency.

Method used

A composition comprising graphite powder and epoxy resin is used. The graphite powder has a particle size distribution of 10-20 μm, a volumetric porosity of 12-30 cm³/100g, a powder resistivity of less than 3.0 mΩ·cm, and a resilience of 13%-50%. The separator is prepared by rapid compression molding (less than 40 seconds).

Benefits of technology

Even when formed in a short time, the separator still possesses excellent hydrogen impermeability, electrical conductivity, and mechanical properties, thus improving production efficiency.
