Description

Polymer dielectric film fuel cell blocky metal-glass bipolar plates and method for making thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to the fuel cell electrode technical field.Be particularly related to the bipolar plates of polymer dielectric film fuel cell.
Background technology
Except having characteristics such as energy conversion efficiency height, life-span length, environmental friendliness, polymer dielectric film fuel cell is low because of its working temperature, startup as the power source in communications and transportation and construction dispersion power station, is the general removable power supplys of a kind of the army and the people soon.Yet, factor such as expensive, weight and volume to a great extent limit the large-scale commercial applications application of polymer dielectric film fuel cell.Therefore, reduce cost and become national governments and researcher's the focus of attention.
Bipolar plates is one of multifunctional module important in the polymer dielectric film fuel cell; Not only have the reacting gas of separation, afflux conduction, support membrane electrode and conductive force; Can also passage be provided so that it is evenly distributed through being combined into reacting gas, and the water that generates is discharged with flow-field plate.Graphite has good electrical conductivity and chemical stability, is considered to desirable polymer dielectric film fuel cell bipolar plate material always.But its fragility is big, the low fuel battery that is difficult to prepare low weight, low volume of intensity.In addition, consuming time and expense is high through machining mode in the technology in various flow fields, surface, thus cause the cost of graphite cake to account for 80% of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells cost.Metal material is because of the potential replacement graphite of good obdurability, conductivity and air-tightness.Metal not only can be processed into the thin plate that thickness is 0.1~0.3mm; Can also adopt the method for machining and punching press to be processed into various flow-field plate; Be more suitable in production in enormous quantities, and then the quality that increases substantially polymer dielectric film fuel cell is than power and volumetric specific power.The metal bipolar panel material that adopts at present has ferrous alloy, nickel-base alloy and aluminium, titanium and alloy thereof etc.
In the process of polymer dielectric film fuel cell operation, because the peculiar preparation technology of degraded of the part of PEM and electrode causes containing in the operational environment SO 4 2-, SO 3 2-, CO 3 2-, HSO 4 -And HSO 3 -Plasma [1]Therefore, electrochemical corrosion will take place in metal double polar plates inevitably.Although the oxide skin(coating) of the passivation that the metal double polar plates surface generates can suppress the further corrosion of metal, also caused simultaneously to be difficult to satisfy the actual high surface contacted resistance that requires [2-4]All of these factors taken together will certainly cause the consumption of some electric energy and the reduction of fuel battery gross efficiency, thereby reduces the performance and the power output of battery pack.For this reason, improve its surface conductivity and corrosion resistance through process for modifying surface the preparation and the production of metal double polar plates is had great importance, also will produce far-reaching influence the development and the extensive use of polymer dielectric film fuel cell.Noble coatings is inappropriate for because of its cost is high and produces battery pack cheaply.Adopt PVD [5-10], CVD [11-13]And plating [14,15]Then generate defectives such as the micropore that is difficult to avoid and micro-crack and can peel off Deng the nitride of diverse ways preparation and oxide coating, thereby cause the reduction in useful life of polymer dielectric film fuel cell because of local corrosion because of its preparation technology's restriction.Up to the present, also do not have a kind ofly to be able to large-scale application market through the surface-treated metal double polar plates.Therefore, the bipolar plates of development low cost, high surface conductivity and good corrosion resistance is the inexorable trend of polymer dielectric film fuel cell, also will produce significant effects to the commercialization process of polymer dielectric film fuel cell.
