Description

The surface modifying method of proton exchange membrane fuel cell stainless steel bipolar plate
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation method's in a kind of fuel cell technology field, particularly a kind of proton exchange membrane fuel cell stainless steel bipolar plate surface modifying method.
Background technology
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) is to be electrolyte with perfluorinated sulfonic acid type solid polymer, platinum/carbon or platinum-ruthenium/carbon is eelctro-catalyst, hydrogen or purification reformation gas are fuel, air or pure oxygen are oxidant, and working temperature generally is converted into the Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) of electric energy at 60~100 ℃ the chemical energy with in fuel and the oxidant.Under the situation serious day by day in global environmental pollution, that fossil energy is exhausted day by day, have advantages such as efficient, energy-conservation, safety, environmental protection because of it and enjoy national governments and research organizations pay much.Along with the application of PEMFC in the vehicles such as automobile, it can be penetrated into social all trades and professions and even average family gradually as energy technology of new generation, the application prospect that it is wide even can compare favourably with computer technology.But the too high cost of PEMFC limits it and applies on a large scale.As the bipolar plates of one of PEMFC critical component, not only occupy the 70%-80% of pile weight, and in the production cost of pile, also occupy sizable ratio.
The function of bipolar plates is collected current and its anode from a battery is transmitted to the negative electrode of next battery, distributes fuel gas equably at anode surface simultaneously, in cathode surface uniform distribution oxygen/air.In addition, it also must have cooling fluid to pass through the passage of pile and guarantee that cold fluid separates with reactant gas.The graphite-like bipolar plates that conduction is good, be easy to process the flow field is that the commercialization process of PEMFC has been established good start, also be the plate material that PEMFC extensively adopts, but its bad mechanical strength, processing cost height make it lack enough competitiveness in the industrial applications of PEMFC.Composite graphite plate, flexible graphite and sheet metal plate all are very potential bipolar plates alternate materials, and the sheet metal bipolar plates not only is easy to realize producing in batches, reducing the pile cost, can increase substantially the pile specific power, be the most competitive plate material.The great advantage of metal double polar plates is to be easy to a large amount of generate and thickness can reduce significantly that (100~300um), the specific energy of battery pile and specific power also can therefore and significantly improve.Yet, the both sides of PEMFC bipolar plates are respectively wet oxidant and wet reducing agent, the glassware for drinking water that can oligodynamical electrochemical reaction is generated owing to gas ions has faint acidity, with the common metal material during as bipolar plates, slight corrosion can take place and causes the activity of electrode catalyst to reduce.Therefore, the PEMFC metal double polar plates can adopt some decay resistances own just to carry out modification than more excellent alloy system as the metal bipolar panel material or at the unfavorable alloy surface of corrosion resistance.Gold plate and nickel plate are owing to its excellent decay resistance and low surface contacted resistance are used to the metal double polar plates of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, and be too high but its shortcoming is a cost, commercially produced very big difficulty.
Find through the literature search to prior art; (H.Wang et al.)<<Journal of PowerSources (energy magazine) (138 phase 79-85 pages or leaves in 2004) deliver (" Thermallynitrided stainless steel for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cellbipolar plate Part 2:Beneficial modification of passive layer on AISI446 ") (thermal nitridation stainless steel as Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells 2: to the useful modification of AISI446 passivation film on stainless steel surface) points out can significantly improve stainless decay resistance in 2 hours 1100 ℃ of nitridings, produces thermal deformation but its weak point is that too high temperature can make through stamping forming bipolar plate of stainless steel.
In sum, the two hang-ups-corrosion resistance used of metal double polar plates and conductivity-still need to be resolved hurrily.Therefore, develop and a kind ofly can improve the corrosion resistance of metal double polar plates under fuel cell environment, do not influence the method for modifying of its electric conductivity again, seem very necessary to reducing cost of bipolar plates and prolonging its useful life, the commercialization process of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells is had important and practical meanings.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is at the deficiencies in the prior art, the surface modifying method of one metal double-plate for proton exchange film fuel cell is provided, make the contact resistance of its decay resistance that can further improve metal double polar plates, reduction metal double polar plates and gas diffusion layers (carbon paper), to satisfy the demand for development of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions, and the method that the present invention adopts ion to inject is injected stainless sheet steel with nickel ion, forms implanted layer in tens nanometer range of stainless sheet steel surface, obtains the bipolar plate of stainless steel after the modification.Because implanted layer is for reducing surface contacted resistance and improving corrosion proof rich nickel dam, so the bipolar plate of stainless steel corrosion resistance after the modification improves and contact resistance reduces.
