This invention discloses a gas-liquid dual-channel microporous layer, its preparation method, and its application, comprising the following steps: Step S1,
zinc acetate is dissolved in
methanol solution and dispersed to obtain solution A, 2-methylimidazole,
hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and
sodium laurate are sequentially dissolved in
methanol solution and dispersed to obtain solution B; Step S2, solution A is added to solution B, and after stirring, the
solvent is removed to obtain a precipitate. The precipitate is vacuum dried to obtain a precursor p-ZIF-8, and the precursor p-ZIF-8 is subjected to high-temperature heat treatment to obtain
porous carbon material p-ZIF-8-C; Step S3, the
porous carbon material p-ZIF-8-C, a hydrophobic agent, and a
solvent are mixed, dispersed, and prepared into a
slurry. The
slurry is coated onto a carbon
fiber substrate in
multiple applications. After
coating, the
solvent is removed by
drying, and after
calcination, a gas-liquid dual-channel microporous layer with a cracked surface is obtained. This invention improves the water management and gas transport capabilities inside the membrane
electrode by precisely controlling the pore size of the carbon material and achieving adjustable microporous layer cracks, thereby enhancing the performance of the fuel
cell.
