Novel phenolic resin and application thereof in preparation of flexible graphite-based bipolar plate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of bipolar plate processing and manufacturing, and particularly relates to novel phenolic resin and application thereof in preparation of flexible graphite-based bipolar plates.
Background
Bipolar plates are key components in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs), where they function to distribute fuel gas and air, to achieve electrical coupling between individual cells, to carry away waste heat from the active area, to prevent leakage of gas and coolant, and to facilitate water management in the cell. In recent years, polymer/flexible graphite materials have become a suitable fuel cell bipolar plate material due to their low cost, high electrical conductivity, high flexibility, and ease of processing. In the prior art, two main methods for preparing the bipolar plate by using the flexible graphite plate as the raw material exist. One is to form a flow field plate by one-step molding of a low-density flexible graphite plate, then carry out resin impregnation, and finally carry out curing molding. This process is used, for example, in the patent WO0041260 by Ballard corporation which teaches polyvinylidene fluoride/flexible graphite bipolar plates. The bipolar plate prepared by the method is easy to form, but the resin impregnation effect is not ideal, and the gas permeability and the mechanical property of the material are influenced.

The electrical conductivity of the flexible graphite-based bipolar plate prepared in example 8 and example 9 is better than that of example 10, the gas permeability is lower than that of example 10, and the bending strength is equivalent to that of example 10, which shows that the novel phenolic resin prepared by using 2- [ 1-methyl-3- (trifluoromethyl) pyrazol-5-yl ] thiophene-5-formaldehyde or 5-aldehyde furan-3-boric acid as one of the condensation monomers can effectively improve the electrical conductivity and the air tightness of the bipolar plate and does not have negative influence on the mechanical property of the bipolar plate when being applied to the preparation of the bipolar plate. The bending strength and the electric conductivity of the flexible graphite-based bipolar plate prepared in example 6 are better than those of examples 8-9, and the gas permeability is lower than those of examples 8-9, which shows that the novel phenolic resin prepared by using 2- [ 1-methyl-3- (trifluoromethyl) pyrazol-5-yl ] thiophene-5-formaldehyde and 5-aldehyde furan-3-boric acid as condensation monomers is applied to preparation of the bipolar plate, so that the mechanical property of the bipolar plate can be remarkably enhanced, and the synergistic effect is better in the improvement effect of the electric conductivity and the air tightness of the bipolar plate.
In addition, the flexural strength and the electrical conductivity of the flexible graphite-based bipolar plate prepared in example 11 are better than those of example 6, the gas permeability is lower than those of example 6, the effect of example 12 is better than that of example 1, and the effect of example 13 is better than that of example 10, which shows that the novel phenolic resin prepared by using 2- [ 1-methyl-3- (trifluoromethyl) pyrazol-5-yl ] thiophene-5-formaldehyde and 5-aldehyde furan-3-boric acid as condensation monomers is applied to the preparation of the bipolar plate, so that the mechanical property of the bipolar plate can be remarkably improved, the electrical conductivity of the bipolar plate is improved, and the air tightness of the bipolar plate is improved.
4. Test of Corrosion resistance
Weighing the pretreated sample with the same mass, then respectively adding the pretreated sample into 50% hydrochloric acid solution and 20% sodium hydroxide solution for soaking corrosion, and sealing the preservative film. After 10 days, the sample was removed and dried in a vacuum oven at 80 ℃ for 1h to substantially evaporate the surface water and determine its mass. The corrosion resistance of the bipolar plate is characterized by the sample mass loss rate before and after soaking.
The results of the above tests on the flexible graphite-based bipolar plates prepared in examples 1 and 6 to 13 are shown in table 2:

Figure BDA0003623325370000111
As can be seen from the data in table 2, the mass loss rate of the flexible graphite-based bipolar plates prepared in examples 8 and 9 after being soaked in acid-base solution is significantly lower than that of example 10, which indicates that the novel phenolic resin prepared by using 2- [ 1-methyl-3- (trifluoromethyl) pyrazol-5-yl ] thiophene-5-formaldehyde or 5-aldehyde furan-3-boric acid as one of the condensation monomers is applied to preparation of the bipolar plates, and the corrosion resistance of the bipolar plates can be effectively improved. The mass loss rate of the flexible graphite-based bipolar plate prepared in the example 6 after being soaked in the acid-base solution is obviously lower than that of the flexible graphite-based bipolar plate prepared in the examples 8-9, and the gas permeability is lower than that of the flexible graphite-based bipolar plate prepared in the examples 8-9, which indicates that the novel phenolic resin prepared by using 2- [ 1-methyl-3- (trifluoromethyl) pyrazol-5-yl ] thiophene-5-formaldehyde and 5-aldehyde furan-3-boric acid as condensation monomers is applied to the preparation of the bipolar plate, and the synergistic effect has a better effect on improving the corrosion resistance of the bipolar plate.
