Description

The preparation method of light metal surface modified fuel cell ambipolar board
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of metal base fuel battery bipolar plate.
Background technology
Proton membrane fuel battery has characteristics such as cleaning, efficient, removable, operating condition gentleness, has important use in fields such as communications and transportation, Aero-Space and telecommunications and is worth.Bipolar plates is the plate material that monocell is together in series, and need satisfy many-sided performance requirement.Be good electrical conductivity, superior corrosion resistance (comprising sour corrosion, oxidation cargo sweat, electrode potential corrosion), good air-tightness, enough mechanical strengths, lower density and cheap relatively cost.
The bipolar plate material that uses at present is graphite, and this is mainly based on graphite good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, non-oxidizability etc.But owing to relatively poor, the runner machine work difficulty of graphite mechanical performance, need to solve problem such as medium osmosis with complicated technological measure, therefore the processing price of graphite bi-polar plate is very high, account for the 40-60% of fuel cell cost, become problem anxious to be solved in the fuel cell research and development.
The main starting point of utilizing metal material to prepare bipolar plates is: metal material has good plasticity, therefore directly punch forming of flow field also is expected to cut down finished cost significantly, and metal can be rolled into the sheet material of 0.1-0.2mm simultaneously, be expected to obtain high-specific-power, to greatest extent compression volume.The metal material electrical and thermal conductivity is good in addition, and air-tightness is good, the mechanical strength height.But the weakness that metal material is the most fatal is a corrosion-resistant, and the corrosion resistance that how to improve metal material is at first to need the problem that solves.
Different metal materials, the method difference of solution corrosion resistance.Studying maximum is ferrous alloy, and this mainly is because iron is cheap.But the surface contacted resistance of iron is big, and iron ion causes battery performance and life-span to descend to the pollution of battery liquid simultaneously.Thereby the ferrous metals plate carried out the key that surface treatment is its extensive use.It is unsatisfactory that multidigit researcher studies the result of fe-based surface depositing TiN, finds that the TiN coating easily comes off from matrix surface, and the life-span in fuel cell is very short, and it is bad that this mainly is that TiN combines with iron-based, exists due to the pin hole in the while TiN film.U.S. Oak Ridge national laboratories research 1100 ℃ of nitridings of (Ni-50Cr) alloy, form CrN and Cr on the surface 2N gradient film has been eliminated the pin hole influence, and corrosion resistance significantly improves, and operation did not produce and pollutes in 1000 hours in the fuel cell.But, do not possess commercial value because the base material price is expensive.Their stainless steel of using high Ni, Cr content instead carries out nitriding and handles subsequently, though stainless steel surfaces has also formed Cr 2N, but film is discontinuous, is difficult to satisfy the corrosion resistant requirement of fuel cell.Taiwan Yuan Ze university utilize PVD at the Al surface deposition multilayer films such as TiN, TiCN, contact resistance significantly reduces, corrosion resistance also effectively improves.But the battery operation experiment shows, only can move 200 hours.Britain Hodgson in the titanium surface preparation FC5 coating, contact resistance is near 10m Ω .cm 2, the battery operation life-span reaches 8000 hours.But the FC5 coating technology is very secret, can look into without any data at present.All also do not obtain commercial the application so far in the whole bag of tricks of being attempted.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of preparation method who has the light metal surface modified fuel cell ambipolar board of good corrosion resistance and conductivity concurrently.
For achieving the above object, the technical solution adopted in the present invention is: the preparation method of light metal surface modified fuel cell ambipolar board is characterized in that it comprises the steps: 1) be matrix with the titanium plate of 0.15-0.6mm, be cut into specified size; 2) put into mould, adopt punching press or mould pressing technology, prepare flow field structure; 3) the titanium plate that will have a flow field structure is put into the ultrasonic cleaning machine and is cleaned, and removes surface impurity; 3) utilize nitridation technique that modification is carried out on the titanium plate surface that has flow field structure after cleaning and handle, obtain light metal surface modified fuel cell ambipolar board.
Describedly utilize nitridation technique that modification is carried out on the titanium plate surface that has flow field structure after cleaning to be treated to: average 3~5 ℃/min of heating rate, 650-850 ℃ of ionic nitriding temperature, temperature retention time 30-60 minute, nitrogen pressure 60-150Pa, gas flow 80-120mL/min, voltage 0.5-0.7KV, electric current 10-50A.
Though, the glow discharge nitriding of 0.1~0.6mm titanium plate is not appeared in the newspapers at the glow discharge nitriding technology of titanium alloy parts comparative maturity.Because the control of required TiN infiltration layer is very crucial, if infiltration layer is dark excessively, the titanium slab integral becomes fragile, infiltration layer is shallow excessively, though titanium plate pliability is better, if there is pinprick in infiltration layer or does not reach certain thickness, corrosion resistance can't meet the demands again, therefore have best infiltration layer, its control technology is different with traditional nitriding.Tradition nitriding heating rate is very fast, this nitridation process segmentation control, and heating rate is slower, but temperature retention time is shorter.
It is parent metal that the present invention selects the titanium plate of 0.1-0.6mm, by the flow field of pressure forming acquisition design, by the fine and close TiN film of nitridation technique at titanium plate surface formation gradient transition, has both guaranteed corrosion resistance, satisfies the requirement of conductivity again.The technical advantage of titanium base nitriding is: (1) film combines with the matrix gradient, the film difficult drop-off; (2) film surface free of pinholes, densification are similar with the effect of Ni-50Cr nitriding, effectively corrosion-resistant.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: technology is simple, can obtain surface-treated titanium plate in batches, infiltration layer densification, difficult drop-off; Bipolar plates after nitriding is handled not only has excellent corrosion resistance, and has good mechanical performance and conductivity; The light metal surface modified fuel cell ambipolar board that obtains has good corrosion resistance and conductivity concurrently.
