The cost of the fuel cell is high, wherein the cost of the bipolar plate accounts for 30-40% of the cost of the fuel cell.
The fuel cell mainly comprises an electric pile and system components, wherein the electric pile is the core of the whole fuel cell and comprises a cell unit consisting of a membrane electrode and a bipolar plate, a current collecting plate, an end plate, a sealing ring and the like; the membrane electrode directly influences the power density, durability and service life of the fuel cell; the bipolar plate has the functions of separating reaction gas, removing heat and discharging chemical reaction products (water); the air tightness, the electric and thermal conductivity, the mechanical properties and the corrosion resistance of the bipolar plate can affect the performance of the whole electric pile, thereby affecting the service performance of the battery, wherein the air tightness and the electric conductivity of the bipolar plate have the greatest influence on the performance of the battery.
The bipolar plates commonly used in the market at present can be divided into metal bipolar plates, graphite bipolar plates and composite bipolar plates; the service life of the fuel cell is greatly influenced by the defect of poor corrosion resistance of the metal bipolar plate, the metal bipolar plate needs to be subjected to surface treatment, and the process is complex, so that the cost is increased; the graphite bipolar plate has larger brittleness, a machining method is mainly adopted in the current market, the machining difficulty is high, a complex flow field is difficult to form, the cost is high, and the large-batch production is not facilitated; the composite bipolar plate can overcome the defects of difficult processing, poor strength, high cost and poor corrosion resistance of a metal plate of a graphite material, and the composite bipolar plate is produced in batches by mainly adopting a compression molding method, so that two problems can be encountered in the production process, namely, the production period of tabletting is longer, the flatness of the pressed plate hardly meets the use requirement, and the uniformity of density is poorer. And the gas tightness and the electrical conductivity of the bipolar plate are affected due to the flatness and the density uniformity of the plate. Therefore, based on these two problems, it is urgently needed to find a more efficient preparation method to improve the production efficiency and optimize the uniformity of the bipolar plate.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference are exemplary only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
The invention provides a preparation method of a high-efficiency composite bipolar plate with uniform density for a fuel cell. Specifically, after the crystalline flake graphite powder and the resin particles are mixed, preliminary press forming is performed at normal temperature by using a cold isostatic pressing device. The primary molding can be formed into different shapes according to different molds. In some embodiments of the present invention, a mixed powder obtained by mixing the crystalline flake graphite powder and the resin particles is formed into a plate-shaped preform by cold isostatic pressing. Since the forces applied to the scale graphite powder and the resin particles in all directions during the cold isostatic pressing are the same, the uniformity of the preform obtained by the cold isostatic pressing is very high. However, in order to obtain a preform having very high uniformity, it is necessary to classify the scale graphite powder and the resin particles so that the resin particles can be uniformly filled in tetrahedral voids formed between the scale graphite powder particles. Because the scale graphite powder has higher hardness and the resin particles have lower hardness, when cold isostatic pressing is carried out, a higher pressure is firstly applied to fill the resin particles into the tetrahedral gaps, and then a lower pressure is applied to deform the resin particles, so that the scale graphite powder particles are better attached. Meanwhile, after the resin particles deform, gaps among the scale graphite powder particles can be further reduced, so that the prefabricated body is more compact and higher in uniformity. Because the scale graphite powder is rigid particles and the resin particles are deformable flexible particles, when the scale distribution is carried out on the scale graphite powder and the resin particles, the uniformity of the density of the finally prepared composite double-electrode plate is required to be less than +/-1%, and when the scale distribution is carried out on the scale distribution by adopting the scale graphite powder and the resin particles with different average particle diameters, the ratio of the average particle diameters of the scale graphite powder and the resin particles is not consistent but is deviated. This is because when the resin particles are small, they can also fill the octahedral gaps, and when the resin particles are large, the resin particles can be pressed by the crystalline flake graphite powder into the tetrahedral gaps formed by them using a large pressure holding pressure. Therefore, the molding pressure of the cold isostatic press, the holding pressure of the cold isostatic press, the average particle size of the flake graphite powder, and the average particle size of the resin particles satisfy the following relationship:
wherein r is1Represents the average particle diameter r of the flake graphite powder2Represents the average particle diameter of the resin particles, P1Representing the forming pressure, P, of said cold isostatic pressing2Representing the holding pressure, P, of the cold isostatic pressing1 : P2K is greater than 1.1 and less than 1.3 for 10: 8-9.
Compared with the conventional forming technology, the cold isostatic pressing forming technology has the advantages that the density of a finished product is high, the density of each position is uniform, the performance of the pressed finished product is excellent, a lubricant does not need to be added into powder generally, the pollution to the powder is reduced, and the forming time is short. The cold isostatic pressing can also reduce the space between powder particles and increase the density, the higher the true density of the composite bipolar plate is, the more compact the composite bipolar plate is, the smaller the longitudinal voltage drop is, the better the conductivity is, the higher the breaking strength is, and the better the flatness of the composite bipolar plate and the uniformity of the performance at each position are. And then cutting the prefabricated body into a plurality of thin plates by adopting a wire cutting mode. Because of the high uniformity of the preform, the preform can be cut into a plurality of uniform thin plates by means of wire cutting. And then, the thin plate is formed again by adopting a die pressing method, so that the thin plate is formed into other preset shapes. In some embodiments of the present invention, the sheet is compression molded in a mold with a complex flow field to provide a slotted bipolar plate. And finally, heating and curing to obtain the composite bipolar plate.
Specifically, the forming pressure of the cold isostatic pressing is 50-150 MPa; the pressure is too high, the prefabricated body can not bear and cracks appear; the pressure intensity is too low, the mechanical strength of the formed prefabricated body is not enough, and the use is influenced. The pressure maintaining pressure of the cold isostatic pressing is 40-135 MPa; the pressure is too high, the resin particles can be excessively extruded, and the uniformity of the prefabricated body is influenced; at too low a pressure, the resin particles do not set, resulting in too many voids in the preform and reduced uniformity.
Specifically, the particle size of the crystalline flake graphite powder is 30-120 microns; the particle size is too large, the bonding between the crystalline flake graphite and the resin is not tight enough, gaps exist in a system, and the strength is low; the particle size is too small, and the crystalline flake graphite cannot play a role in three-dimensional network conduction in a system, so that the electrical property is influenced. The average particle diameter of the resin particles is 10-40 μm. If the particle size is too large, the resin particles cannot fill all tetrahedral voids, if the particle size is too small, the tetrahedral voids will fill a plurality of resin particles, and at the same time, the resin particles will also fill part of the octahedral voids, thereby deteriorating the uniformity of the preform.
Specifically, the wire cutting includes multi-wire cutting. By adopting multi-line cutting, the preparation efficiency of the method is higher.
Specifically, the proportion of graphite in the crystalline flake graphite is 50-80 wt%. The proportion of the scale graphite is too high, and the strength is not enough; the ratio is too small and the resistance is too high. Specifically, the resin is a thermosetting resin. The thermosetting resin is cured after being heated, so that the flake graphite powder mixed in the resin is cured into the composite bipolar plate. Preferably, the thermosetting resin is one selected from phenolic resin, epoxy resin, vinyl resin or polyimide.
Specifically, the weight ratio of the crystalline flake graphite powder to the resin is 4: 1-0.25. When the weight ratio of the crystalline flake graphite powder to the resin is within the range, the electrical property and the physical property of the composite bipolar plate prepared by the crystalline flake graphite powder are optimal. When the ratio is too large, the strength of the composite bipolar plate is insufficient. When the ratio is too small, the resistance of the composite bipolar plate is too large.
Specifically, the curing process also comprises the step of keeping the temperature for 1h when the temperature is raised by 20 ℃. The temperature rise speed is too fast, and the small molecular gas released in the curing reaction process of the resin in the plate is too fast discharged, so that bubbles are formed in the composite bipolar plate, and the uniformity of the composite bipolar plate is reduced.
The present invention will be further illustrated below by reference to examples and comparative examples.
