Description

一种质子交换膜燃料电池不锈钢双极板的电化学表面改性 方法
技术领域
本发明属于金属表面处理及改性技术领域,特别涉及一种质子交换膜燃料电池技术领域中不锈钢双极板表面改性方法。
背景技术
质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)是一种以氢气为燃料,氧气/空气作为氧化剂,将燃料与氧化剂中的化学能直接转化为电能的清洁无污染的发电装置。质子交换膜燃料电池对环境友好,能量转化效率高,能快速启动,因此,受到全世界的广泛关注。此外,其在汽车工业、备用应急电源、分散电站及军事等领域具有广阔的应用前景。
双极板作为质子交换膜燃料电池的关键部件之一,有连接单池、支撑电堆、提供气体流场、收集电流、散热、排水等作用。在酸性燃料电池环境中必须具有良好的机械性能,必须与石墨之间存在尽可能小的接触电阻,必须具备高的耐蚀性,其质量的优劣决定了燃料电池堆的输出功率大小及服役寿命长度。
不锈钢具有易加工成型,高导热性,价格低等优点,这使其成为了一种常用的质子交换膜燃料电池双极板基体材料。不锈钢的本身电阻较高,加之服役时表面的氧化物产物的附加电阻,使其与气体扩散层接触时的导电性降低,因此常使用表面改性的方法来克服此问题。
经过对现有技术的文献检索发现,吴博等在《金属学报》(2009年09期1125-1129页)上发表的(不锈钢双极板电弧离子镀Cr1-xNx薄膜改性研究)和金杰等在《材料工程》(2016年10期33-34页)上发表的(CrN和CrNiN涂层在模拟质子交换膜燃料电池环境中的电化学性能及疏水性能)指出合金经过表面氮化处理生成氮化物膜,可以提升双极板的服役性能,总的趋势是耐蚀性提升和接触电阻降低。
在众多的双极板的表面氮化改性方法当中,包括热扩渗、等离子体沉积法等。这些方法有的需要昂贵的设备,有的需要复杂的加工过程,有的重复性不高或者难以大面积制备,总之都存在着一些难以克服的缺陷,从而不利于真正的工业化生产以及实际应用的需要。电化学表面改性的方法仅需要恒电位仪和所需溶液,处理过程简单且节省设备成本,选择合适的基体材料与表面改性工艺参数是双极板服役性能的关键。
发明内容
本发明的目的是提供一种质子交换膜燃料电池不锈钢双极板的电化学表面改性的工艺方法。通过表面改性,在不锈钢双极板表面形成氮化物膜,使双极板耐蚀、导电等复合性能得到提升,满足作为基体材料在质子交换膜燃料电池中长时服役的要求,并可以实现低成本大批量生产。
本发明的技术方案是:
一种质子交换膜燃料电池不锈钢双极板的电化学表面改性方法,包括表面活化和电化学氮化,所述的表面活化是将不锈钢双极板置于酸溶液中活化;所述的电化学氮化是表面活化后的不锈钢双极板在氮化液中进行电化学氮化,形成不锈钢双极板改性层。
所述的不锈钢双极板使用的不锈钢成分为质量百分比组成Ni:19~21%,Cr:16.5~18.5%,余量为Fe以及不可避免的杂质,杂质总量小于0.5%。
所述的不锈钢双极板表面活化具体如下:先将不锈钢双极板置于丙酮中震荡10~12min除油,干燥后,在100~150g/L的H2SO4溶液中震荡5~10min酸洗活化。
所述的不锈钢双极板电化学氮化具体如下:
1)氮化液:
浓度为150~250g/L的HNO3
2)电化学工艺参数如下:
温度室温;
恒电位极化电压:1.2~1.6V;
恒电位极化时间:10~20min。
本发明的有益效果:
1.制备出的质子交换膜燃料电池双极板耐腐蚀性和导电性能好,而且工艺成熟,适合大批量低成本生产。
2.工艺简单,设备成本低廉,所需化学药品种类少,配置氮化液简单。
3.相比仅用硝酸浸泡的处理方法,能够获得更为优异的耐蚀性能。
附图说明
图1是实施例1和成分为Fe62.71Ni19.77Cr17.52(wt.%)的不锈钢双极板未经处理、经硝酸浸泡处理测试得到的极化曲线示意图,横坐标是电流密度,单位为A/cm2,纵坐标是电位,单位为V,参比电极为Ag/AgCl电极。实线代表未经处理的不锈钢双极板,虚线代表硝酸浸泡处理的不锈钢双极板,点划线代表实施例1。由图可见,在模拟燃料电池工作环境中,实施例1的自腐蚀电位为92.22mV,显著高于未经处理的不锈钢双极板(-265.21mV)和硝酸浸泡处理的不锈钢双极板(-224.98mV),拥有更低的热力学腐蚀倾向。实施例1的自腐蚀电流密度为0.43μA·cm-2,明显低于未经处理的不锈钢双极板(130μA·cm-2)和硝酸浸泡处理的不锈钢双极板(1.68μA·cm-2),耐蚀性能符合美国能源部的标准(<1μA·cm-2)。
具体实施方式
实施例1:
采用的不锈钢成分为Fe62.71Ni19.77Cr17.52(wt.%)。先将不锈钢双极板用丙酮震荡12min除油,干燥后,在100g/L的的H2SO4溶液中震荡5min酸洗活化。电化学氮化采用以下工艺及参数:
HNO3 200g/L
溶液温度室温
恒电位极化电压1.4V
恒电位极化时间15min
对上述方法制得的双极板作以下性能测试:
在室温下,以Ag/AgCl为参比电极,铂网为对电极,将制得的不锈钢双极板置于质子交换膜燃料电池模拟腐蚀环境(0.5mol/L H2SO4+2ppm HF)中进行动电位极化扫描,测定得出自腐蚀电流密度为0.43μA·cm-2,耐蚀能力比未钝化处理的不锈钢双极板(130μA·cm-2)有很大提高,比硝酸浸泡处理的双极板腐蚀电流密度(1.68μA·cm-2)低了一个数量级。采用伏安法测试双极板与气体扩散层的接触电阻,可测得0.064MPa下不锈钢双极板ICR=1.03Ω·cm2,仅比硝酸浸泡处理的结果(0.99Ω·cm2)略高。
