Technical Field

Background
The growth of energy demands of the modern industry has forced us to find and develop new energy sources to replace fossil fuels that are being exploited in large quantities and that lead to a deterioration of the ecological environment. The hydrogen energy is a clean and green renewable energy, and is certainly the key for solving the energy crisis. A fuel cell is a power generation device that directly converts fuel (typically hydrogen) into electric energy by an electrochemical reaction, and has great significance in solving energy crisis and environmental pollution. The main constituent components of the fuel cell are: electrodes, electrolyte separators, current collectors, and the like. The electrode is an electrochemical reaction place where fuel is subjected to oxidation reaction and oxidant is subjected to reduction reaction; the main function of the dielectric separator is to separate the oxidizing agent from the reducing agent and conduct ions; the collector is also called bipolar plate, and has functions of collecting current, separating oxidant from reductant, dredging reactant gas, etc. Bipolar plates, which are one of the key materials in fuel cells, are required to withstand various external loads and to operate in an acidic environment for a long period of time, which puts higher demands on the corrosion resistance of the bipolar plates.
The Chinese patent with application number 201710451190.2 discloses a functional coating of a metal bipolar plate of a fuel cell, which comprises a self-healing layer, a super-corrosion-resistant layer and a selectively deposited super-conductive layer, wherein the self-healing layer can automatically form a filler at a pinhole or mechanical damage part in the use process of the coating, and is easy to react with oxygen due to exposure to the outside, so that an oxidized filler is automatically formed, and the formed oxidized product has better corrosion resistance and better electric conductivity, thereby preventing further occurrence of corrosion reaction.
The Chinese patent with application number 202111055053.X discloses a corrosion-resistant coating of a metal bipolar plate of a fuel cell and a preparation process thereof, wherein the coating comprises a conductive adhesive colloid layer coated on the surface of the metal bipolar plate and a strong corrosion-resistant layer arranged on the outer surface of the conductive adhesive colloid layer, the metal bipolar plate is mechanically polished and cleaned, then the conductive adhesive colloid is coated on the surface of the metal bipolar plate to obtain an uncured pasty conductive adhesive colloid layer, the strong corrosion-resistant layer is cut to a specified shape and attached to the pasty conductive adhesive colloid layer, and pressure is applied, so that the preparation of the corrosion-resistant coating on the metal bipolar plate of the fuel cell is completed after the strong corrosion-resistant layer is fully contacted with the conductive adhesive colloid layer and the pressure is applied, thereby effectively avoiding the contact of the metal bipolar plate with corrosive medium in the environment of the fuel cell.
Various methods are used in the prior art to modify the corrosion resistance of a bipolar plate of a fuel cell, but the degree of bonding of the modifying layer to the bipolar plate substrate and the effect on the conductivity of the bipolar plate after introduction are not fully considered.

Correlation test:
1. conductivity test
Surface contact electric was performed on the fuel cell plates prepared in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 4, respectivelyResistance test, test data were that the contact resistance (mΩ·cm) of the fuel cell plate and the carbon paper was tested under a pressure of 0.6MPa 2 ) The test data obtained are shown in table 1.
2. Corrosion resistance test
The fuel cell plates prepared in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were tested for corrosion current density (A/cm) by linear potential scanning 2 ) The scan rate was 1mV/s, the potential scan range was-0.5V-1.3V, and the corrosion current density (A/cm) at a potential of 0.6V was recorded 2 ). (the corrosion resistance of the panel is based on the corrosion current density of less than 1X 10 when the potential is 0.6V -6 A/cm 2 ) The test data are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
Sample of Contact resistance (mΩ·cm) 2 ) Corrosion current Density (A/cm) 2 )
Example 1 0.95 0.56
Example 2 1.10 0.62
Example 3 1.15 0.68
Comparative example 1 7.52 5.48
Comparative example 2 3.65 2.46
Comparative example 3 5.38 6.09

The water contact angle test is an index for describing the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of the surface of a material, and is an important parameter for measuring the surface energy of the material. In this test, the surface water contact angle of the prepared panel was measured using an optical contact angle measuring instrument DSA 100, and the detection results are shown in table 2.
4. Binding force test
The bonding force between the carbon film and the substrate directly affects whether the carbon film is easily peeled off or not, which is an important index for measuring the durability of the carbon film, and the bonding force between the carbon film on the surface of the fuel cell plates prepared in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 4 and the substrate was measured by using a An Dongpa (Switzerland CSM) micrometer scratcher, and the detection results are shown in Table 2.

As can be seen from the data in table 2, examples 1 to 3 and comparative example 1 show hydrophobic properties, while comparative examples 2 to 4 show hydrophilic properties, and the reaction product of the fuel cell is water during operation, and when the prepared carbon film shows good hydrophobicity, the timely discharge of the water generated during the operation of the fuel cell is facilitated. As can be seen from the binding force test data, the binding force of example 1 was the highest among all the samples, i.e., the binding force between the carbon film prepared in example 1 and the substrate was the strongest.
The operating environment of the fuel cell is acidic and the operating temperature is relatively high, so the corrosion resistance of the fuel cell plate is critical.
