Description

A kind of high-strength flexible graphite bi-polar plate and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to compound fuel battery double plates of a kind of pure flexible graphite and phenolic resins and preparation method thereof.Belong to fuel battery double plates material and manufacturing technology field.
Background technology
The bipolar plates of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), DMFC (DMFC) (Bipolar Plates); Also claim collector plate; Play a part to separate oxidant and reducing agent; And the even flow field of reactant through the plate face be assigned to electrode everywhere, carry out electrochemical reaction with electrode catalyst layer.
Therefore, in order effectively to separate oxidant and reducing agent, bipolar plates requires to have good choke function; Bipolar plates has the afflux effect, and requiring bipolar plates must be the good conductor of electricity; Guarantee battery in when work uniformity of temperature profile and the used heat of battery is got rid of smoothly, bipolar plates must be the good conductor of heat; And bipolar plates must have very strong resistance to corrosion, because fuel-cell electrolyte is an acid condition; Simultaneously, the bipolar plates both sides should process or be equipped with and make the equally distributed passage of reacting gas (being so-called flow field), and guaranteeing reaction gas in entire electrode even distribution everywhere, so bipolar plates should have good processing properties and mechanical performance; In order to improve volume of battery power and quality power, bipolar plates should have also that density is little, light weight, advantage that volume is little.Like this, be corrosion-resistant as the basic demand of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, DMFC bipolar plates, conduct electricity very well, air penetrability is low, and is in light weight.
The material that present bipolar plates mainly adopts has metal material, impermeable graphite (Delanium), charcoal-carbon composite.
The bipolar plates conduction and the corrosion resistance that adopt Delanium to make are all good.Shortcoming is that the production process of Delanium is complicated and strict, during the consumption expenses of labour.And, because artificial stone mill is crisp, therefore require the thickness of bipolar plates bigger, be generally about 3mm, be unfavorable for the raising of battery volumetric specific power, make the flow field processing difficulties simultaneously, cost is high, is unfavorable for commercially producing in batches.Delanium is used in fuel battery performance test and fuel cell studies more at present.
The bipolar plates that metal material is made, thickness is little (generally can be reached 0.1~0.5mm), help the raising of volumetric specific power; Can adopt mechanized method for making processing duct and flow fields such as punching press punching, processing cost is low, method is simple, is suitable for commercialization and produces in enormous quantities.But the metal material bipolar plates is through the long-term corrosion-vulnerable of using, and the corrosion back produces oxide-film, causes conductance to reduce, and therefore must solve the etching problem of metallic plate.At present, many employings is metal surface modification.Through modification, not only can prevent the generation of slight corrosion, and can make contact resistance keep constant, do not increase in time.Like patent US6,426,161 have introduced and utilize magnesium, aluminium to make fuel battery double plates, and proposed utilization plating, electrochemical deposition or other method in the metal surface built up membrane, like metal-polytetrafluoroethylene; Patent US5,776,624 have introduced and utilize brass to prepare dual polar plates of proton exchange membrane fuel cell, and propose bipolar plates and which floor be made up of, and the surface is a kind of alloy, contains nickel, chromium, titanium; Patent WO2001/28020-A1 proposes plating (PVD) Ti in the metal surface xAl yN corrosion-resistant conductive coating, and prepare fuel battery double plates with amorphous graphite sealing of hole.Utilize flexible graphite paper to make the metal material bipolar plates in addition with the corrosion resistant plate mold pressing.In a word, its main purpose is the corrosion resistance that strengthens metallic plate, but these diaphragms can influence the conductivity of metal and cost of bipolar plates is improved greatly.Therefore, metal material is made the research that Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, DMFC bipolar plates also need go deep into.
In recent years, also developed a series of charcoal class bipolar plate materials both at home and abroad, like patent US6,248,467-B1 proposes mold pressing vinylite+powdered graphite and makes the PEMFC bipolar plates; Patent CN1282349 has proposed to make composite material double pole plate with 10~30wt% low viscosity thermosetting resin and the mold pressing of 70~90wt% conduction aggregate; Patent EP1192032-A1 proposes to prepare fuel battery double plates with expanded graphite and thermoplastic resin; Also have patent to propose to improve the admant ink material, the flow field is processed easily, and adopt quick molding methods such as mold pressing, injection moulding, perhaps use method of graphite-filled polymer or the like with resin impregnation.These bipolar plates adopt charcoal and resin to make basis material more, utilize injection moulding, hot press molding method, can reduce the manufacturing cost of bipolar plates greatly, but its electric conductivity, bipolar plates thickness, weight aspect are not very desirable.
Flexible graphite has required corrosion-resistant of bipolar plates, conduction, good heat conductivity, and principal advantages such as density is low, there therefore have patent to propose flexible graphite to be compound with resin or metallic plate, but the one side cost is higher, still can occur the bad problem of conductance on the other hand.
