Abstract

[0034] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, it will be described in more detail below. However, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments or examples described herein. Rather, these embodiments or examples are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.
[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments or examples only and is not intended to limit the invention. The optional scope of the term "and / or" as used herein includes any one of two or more of the related listed items, as well as any and all combinations of the related listed items, including any two related listed items, any more related listed items, or a combination of all related listed items.
[0036] In this invention, numerical ranges are involved. Unless otherwise specified, the numerical ranges are considered continuous and include the minimum and maximum values of the range, as well as every value between the minimum and maximum values. Furthermore, when the range refers to integers, it includes every integer between the minimum and maximum values of the range. Additionally, when multiple ranges are provided to describe features or characteristics, the ranges may be merged. In other words, unless otherwise specified, all ranges disclosed herein should be understood to include any and all subranges to which they are included.
[0037] The titanium metal component provided by the present invention includes a titanium substrate and a coating disposed on the surface of the titanium substrate. The coating includes a first phase and a second phase, wherein the first phase is R5Ti3F. 14 and / or TiO x Where R is selected from alkali metals, x < 2, and the second phase is sp. 3 Hybridized carbon phase.
[0038] It is understood that the coating may include R5Ti3F 14 and sp 3 Hybrid carbon phases may also include TiO2. x and sp 3 Hybrid carbon phases may also include R5Ti3F 14 TiOx and sp 3 Hybridized carbon phase.
[0039] Due to TiO x It has excellent electrical conductivity, while R5Ti3F 14 In an anodic oxidation environment, it can also be converted into TiO2. x Instead of insulating titanium dioxide (TiO2), the coating maintains a low interfacial contact resistance under electrochemical conditions; simultaneously, sp 3 Hybrid carbon phases have good chemical inertness and electrical conductivity, which can further reduce the overall contact resistance of the coating and enhance its corrosion resistance, thus enabling the coating to achieve a balance of low contact resistance, corrosion resistance and high potential stability.
[0040] Optionally, the coating of the present invention is formed by stacking multiple sheet-like units. This structure can endow the coating with abundant micro gaps and pore channels, increase the specific surface area of the coating, and help reduce the interfacial contact resistance. At the same time, the structure itself has a certain stress release capability, which can avoid the cracking and peeling of dense coatings, enhance the bonding stability between the coating and the titanium substrate, and thus maintain good corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity during long-term use.
[0041] The sheet-like unit preferably has a lateral dimension of 0.1μm to 1μm, a longitudinal dimension of 0.5μm to 2.0μm, and a thickness of 0.05μm to 0.1μm. This micro-nano scale range can ensure sufficient specific surface area to reduce contact resistance, while also taking into account the structural integrity and crack resistance of the coating.
[0042] Optionally, the thickness of the coating is 50nm~200nm. This thickness range ensures complete coverage and corrosion resistance while avoiding problems such as increased internal stress, cracking, and increased contact resistance caused by excessive thickness. This allows the coating to balance low contact resistance and excellent corrosion resistance, meeting the requirements for long-term use under harsh working conditions.
[0043] Optionally, R5Ti3F 14 R is selected from at least one of Na, K, or Li. These alkali metal ions can coordinate with titanium and fluorine ions during coating formation, promoting the formation of R5Ti3F. 14 Stable formation. R is further preferably Na, because Na... + Its moderate ionic radius and strong coordination ability with Ti-F complexes are conducive to the formation of well-crystallized and dense R5Ti3F complexes. 14 This results in lower interfacial contact resistance and better corrosion resistance; at the same time, sodium salts are widely available and inexpensive, making them more suitable for large-scale industrial applications.
[0044] To further balance the electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of the coating, preferably, when the coating includes R5Ti3F... 14 and sp 3 When the carbon phase is hybridized, the R5Ti3F 14 The molar proportion in the coating is 50% to 95%. Within this preferred range, the coating has sufficient conductive phase to reduce interfacial contact resistance, while retaining an appropriate amount of sp. 3 Hybridized carbon phases enhance corrosion resistance and structural stability, enabling the coating to achieve superior overall performance. TiO₂... x From the R5Ti3F 14 The transformation is obtained, therefore, when the coating contains TiO2. x At that time, the ratios among the three can be converted according to the degree of conversion.
[0045] It is understood that the titanium substrate described in this invention is selected from titanium metal substrates or titanium alloy substrates.
[0046] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the titanium metal component, wherein the processing solution used in the preparation method comprises an aqueous solution of an alkali metal fluoride and an acid, wherein the acid may be selected from at least one of organic acids and / or inorganic acids. Since organic acids themselves have the ability to complex titanium ions, the addition of a complexing agent is optional when the acid contains an organic acid, while when the acid is an inorganic acid, the processing solution needs to contain a complexing agent. Optionally, the processing solution is an aqueous solution comprising an alkali metal fluoride and an organic acid, or the processing solution is an aqueous solution comprising an alkali metal fluoride, an inorganic acid, and a complex.
[0047] The alkali metal fluoride is selected from at least one of lithium fluoride, potassium fluoride, and sodium fluoride, more preferably sodium fluoride, and the concentration of the alkali metal fluoride in the treatment solution is 0.05 mol / L to 0.4 mol / L; the acid is selected from at least one of oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid, and the concentration of the acid in the treatment solution is 0.05 mol / L to 0.4 mol / L; the complexing agent is selected from acetylacetone, and the concentration of the complexing agent in the treatment solution is 0.01 mol / L to 0.03 mol / L.
[0048] Specifically, the preparation method is as follows: a treatment solution is used to treat the titanium workpiece under heating conditions, so that titanium ions in the titanium workpiece react in situ with alkali metal ions and fluoride ions in the treatment solution to generate R5Ti3F. 14 Simultaneously, the organic acids and complexing agents are reduced by the electrons lost in the titanium oxidation reaction to generate sp. 3 In the case of a hybrid carbon phase, the resulting titanium metal component has a coating comprising R5Ti3F. 14 and sp 3 Hybridized carbon phase.
[0049] Of course, after treating the titanium workpiece with a treatment solution under heating conditions, anodizing can also be performed to remove the R5Ti3F in the coating. 14 Converted to TiO x Specifically, the voltage, time, and other conditions of anodizing can be controlled to make R5Ti3F 14 Partially or completely converted to TiO x At this point, the titanium metal component obtained has a coating including R5Ti3F. 14 TiO x and sp 3 Hybridized carbon phase, or only TiO2 x and sp 3 Hybridized carbon phase.
[0050] In the preparation method of the present invention, the titanium workpiece is a titanium substrate with no coating on its surface. Before the step of treating the titanium substrate with the treatment liquid, the titanium substrate is further pretreated to remove the surface oxide layer of the titanium substrate. The pretreatment method can be electrolytic pickling, and the electrolytic pickling time is preferably 0.5 min to 10 min, more preferably 1 min to 5 min, and more preferably 3 min.
[0051] During long-term use, the titanium metal component of this invention may experience passivation in the coating due to the formation of loose TiO2 particles, leading to increased contact resistance and ultimately causing the titanium metal component to fail. Therefore, in the preparation method of this invention, the titanium workpiece can also be a titanium metal component with a failed coating. In this case, during the heat treatment of the failed titanium metal component using a treatment solution, the acid in the treatment solution can corrode and remove the TiO2 particles and TiO2 residues from the coating. x Simultaneously, the alkali metal fluorides and acids (and complexing agents) in the treatment solution can re-react with the exposed titanium substrate, regenerating in situ R5Ti3F. 14 and sp 3 A hybrid carbon phase coating is used to achieve coating repair and regeneration.
[0052] Therefore, the coating of the present invention can be formed in situ on the surface of a titanium substrate using a wet low-temperature process, eliminating the need for expensive equipment such as vacuum coating. The process is simple, low-cost, and easy to scale up. Furthermore, when the coating experiences increased contact resistance due to surface passivation after long-term use, the failed titanium metal parts can be re-treated with the processing solution to regenerate a new coating with the same properties in situ on the original surface. This endows the titanium metal parts with excellent replating and repair capabilities, significantly extending their service life and reducing maintenance costs.
[0053] To achieve excellent electrical conductivity while ensuring efficient coating formation, this invention controls the heating temperature to 70℃~100℃ and the processing time to 1min~30min. This temperature range ensures sufficient kinetic driving force for the reaction, which is beneficial to R5Ti3F. 14 and sp 3 Sufficient formation and good crystallization of the hybrid carbon phase; this time range ensures both complete coating coverage and appropriate thickness, while also taking into account production efficiency, enabling the coating to achieve low interfacial contact resistance and good uniformity.
[0054] It is understood that after the step of treating the titanium workpiece with the treatment liquid, the present invention may also include a cleaning and drying step.
[0055] It should be noted that, since the present invention uses a wet low-temperature process and does not involve high-temperature heat treatment, there is no element diffusion phenomenon during the coating formation process. The titanium substrate and the coating are directly chemically bonded interfaces, and there is no intermediate transition layer. That is, there is no transition layer between the titanium substrate and the coating.
[0056] The present invention also provides an electrochemical device including the aforementioned titanium metal component. It is understood that the electrochemical device can be a fuel cell bipolar plate, an electrolyzer plate, etc. For example, when the electrochemical device is a fuel cell bipolar plate, the titanium metal component can be used as the metal bipolar plate.
[0057] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the following embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0068] Furthermore, XPS characterization of the anodized surface yielded the following results: Figure 5 As shown, by Figure 5It can be seen that the surface mainly contains Ti atoms bonded to O atoms. 3+ and Ti 4+ Composite TiO x The chemical structural characteristics of Na5Ti3F 14 It is converted into TiO during the anodizing process. x .

[0107] In the above embodiments and comparative examples, the test methods for contact resistance and corrosion electrochemistry are as follows:
[0108] Surface contact resistance test: The contact resistance was determined using the method shown in GB / T 20042.6-2011. The carbon paper used to simulate the gas diffusion layer was hydrophobic carbon paper (TGP-H-060) manufactured by Toray Industries. During the test, firstly, according to the national standard GB / T20042.7-2014, a single sheet of carbon paper was used to calibrate the resistance of the actual test system, including the contact resistance between the carbon paper and the gold electrode surface and the carbon paper's bulk resistance, to obtain R1. Then, two sheets of carbon paper were sandwiched between the test sample, and the same contact resistance test was performed to obtain R2. Since the bulk resistance of the test sample is negligible, the contact resistance of the sample can be calculated using R=(R2-R1) / 2.
[0109] Coating stability test: Before testing, the sample was processed into a square with a side length of 5cm and installed on the working electrode of the electrochemical test, with an effective test area of 25cm². 2 A traditional three-electrode system, comprising a working electrode, an Ag / AgCl reference electrode, and a platinum counter electrode, was connected to an electrochemical workstation (CHI600E, CH Instruments Ins) via wires. The corrosive environment was set at 80°C, pH=3, and containing 0.1 ppm F. - A sulfuric acid solution was used. A potentiostatic scan was performed at a specific voltage and time (e.g., 24 h at 0.84 V vs. SHE as previously mentioned) to simulate the corrosive environment of anodizing under actual conditions. This potentiostatic scan was performed under oxygen-bearing conditions at a flow rate of 20 mL / min. After anodizing, the contact resistance of the sample was measured. Typically, a well-stability coating can maintain a surface contact resistance of 20 mΩ / cm. 2 the following.
[0110] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
