Abstract

The invention relates to a novel metal bipolar plate surface modification method in the field of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells. The modified bipolar plate is composed of two parts, namely a stainless steel matrix and a surface modification layer. The modification layer is deposited on the surface of the stainless steel matrix through ion plating and divided into a transition layer and an outermost layer. According to the invention, corrosion resistance of the stainless steel matrix can be further enhanced, and contact resistance between the bipolar plate and a diffusion layer material (carbon paper) is reduced. Processing can be realized by the mode of stamping, and mass specific power and volumetric specific power of stack assembling are raised.

Description

A kind of proton exchange membrane fuel cell stainless steel bipolar plate surface modifying method
Technical field
The present invention relates to stainless steel double polar plate surface changes in a proton exchanging film fuel battery technical field Property method.
Background technology
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) is a kind of energy turn that chemical energy is converted into electric energy Changing device., with hydrogen and oxygen as raw material, the reaction in the presence of catalyst generates water for it.Proton is handed over Change membrane cell environmentally friendly, energy conversion efficiency is high, can quickly start, therefore, by complete The extensive concern in the world.Additionally, it is in auto industry, spare emergent power source, dispersion power station and military affairs Have broad application prospects Deng field.
Bipolar plates are one of critical components of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, with the single pond of connection, are supported The effects such as pile, offer gas flowfield, collected current, radiating, draining, it is therefore desirable to as double The material of pole plate has that high mechanical strength, permeation rate are low, electrical conductivity is high, thermal conductivity good, it is corrosion-resistant, The property such as low with carbon paper contact resistance, inexpensive.
In terms of movable application, it is desirable to which fuel cell pile has higher quality specific power and volume Specific power, but in traditional proton exchange film fuel cell electric piling, graphite is the main of making bipolar plates Material, due to the reason such as graphite air-tightness is not good, mechanical strength is low, fragility is big, causes tradition bipolar Plate thickness is big, quality is heavy, intolerant to mechanical shock, difficulty of processing be big, high cost so that graphite is being moved It is limited in dynamic formula application.Metal have higher electrical conductivity, preferable mechanical strength, air penetrability it is low, Thermal conductivity is good, low cost, the features such as punch process can be carried out, be make bipolar plates potential material it One, but there is the oxidative deactivation film of several nanometer thickness in the metal surface such as stainless steel so that between metal and carbon paper Contact resistance it is excessive, in turn result in the larger ohmage of inside battery, this will significantly reduce stainless When the metals such as steel are as bipolar plates, the output performance of pile.Therefore, what the metal such as stainless steel made is double Polar board surface must carry out appropriate modification.At present Many researchers are heavy in matrix stainless steel surfaces Product TiN coating, this significantly reduces the contact resistance between stainless steel and carbon paper, but TiN coating is steady It is qualitative poor.Ho-Young Jung are prepared for 1 μm of gold plate on titanium plate surface, prevent passivation The formation of layer, battery performance is preferable, but gold is expensive, it is difficult to realize that large-scale commercial should With.B.Yang is prepared for the nitride of Cr by tropical resources in stainless steel surfaces, but film is discontinuous, It is poor to the protectiveness of matrix.Fine and close, corrosion-resistant, good conductivity is prepared in metal bipolar plate surface simultaneously And between carbon paper the little modified coating of contact resistance, then can improve the corrosion resistance of parent metal, reduce The internal resistance of proton exchange film fuel cell electric piling, improves pile output performance.
The content of the invention
Present invention aims to existing proton exchange membrane fuel cell stainless steel bipolar plate surface The deficiency of modification technology, there is provided a kind of surface of proton exchange membrane fuel cell stainless steel bipolar plate is modified Method so as to which corrosion resistance is improved, the contact resistance between carbon paper is reduced, and meets proton exchange combustion The demand for development of material battery high-quality specific power and high volumetric specific power.
The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:Stainless steel substrate carries out ultrasound Jing after mechanical grinding Cleaning, is then changed in substrate surface by the bilayer that ion electroplating method deposits transition zone and outermost layer composition Property layer, obtain the modified stainless steel fuel battery double plates in surface.
The stainless steel substrate, its thickness is 0.05mm~1mm.
The mechanical grinding, its sand paper used is 600 mesh~2000 mesh.
The transition zone, it is the one kind in Cr, Ti, Ni, Cu, Al, V, Co, Au, Ag etc. Or it is various.
The outermost layer, it is the nitride and phase of one or more in Cr, Ti, Ni, Al, V Answer the mixture of metal.
The ion plating, its vacuum is 1 × 10-2Pa~10Pa.
The ion plating, its deposition current is 10A~100A.
The ion plating, its sedimentation time is 10min~150min.
The stainless steel thickness that the present invention is selected is 0.05mm~1mm, and more ripe metallic plate can be used to process Technique carries out the processing of the parts such as flow field.Transition metal has resistance to local corrosion ability strong, rises and intercepts The effect of the deep development of corrosion, outermost layer has that resistivity is low, corrosion-resistant electricity is contacted between carbon paper The little characteristic of resistance, therefore, the presence of modified layer so that under 140 newton thrust every square centimeter, 459 milliohm square centimeters of the contact resistance by most are reduced to 5.17 milliohm square centimeters, 177.8 microampere every square centimeter reductions of the corrosion current by most in 0.5 mole of every liter of sulfuric acid solution Every square centimeter for 0.12 microampere, modified layer significantly reduces the contact resistance between stainless steel and carbon paper And corrosion current, modified bipolar plates can improve the quality specific power of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells And volumetric specific power.Modified layer price is relatively low, it is possible to decrease the cost of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, fits Close large-scale application.
