Description

(Cu,Fe,Mn) 3 O 4 Spinel protective layer, preparation method and application thereof, and SOFC (solid oxide Fuel cell) connector
Technical field:
the invention relates to the technical field of electrochemistry, in particular to a method for preparing (Cu, fe, mn) 3 O 4 Spinel protective layer, preparation method and application thereof, and SOFC connector.
The background technology is as follows:
with the development of industrialization, energy crisis is increasingly advanced, and greenhouse effect caused by fossil fuel is also increasingly serious. To overcome this dilemma, clean energy and renewable energy are important concerns for human research. The solid oxide fuel cell (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, abbreviated as SOFC) is an energy conversion device for directly converting chemical energy into electric energy, has the advantages of cleanness, high efficiency, compressibility and the like, and is one of the most effective technologies for solving the environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels. The connector is used as a connecting unit of the SOFC, and has the functions of providing a gas flow channel for fuel gas and oxidizing gas and isolating the fuel gas from the oxidizing gas. At present, ceramic materials are generally used as the material of the connector of the high-temperature SOFC cell, but the use of metal connectors is possible with the development of low-temperature SOFC cells. Compared with the ceramic connector, the metal connector has the advantages of low cost, easy processing, good thermoelectric performance and the like.
Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used metal connectors, which has the advantages of good corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, etc., but stainless steel is easily oxidized at a high temperature of 600-800 ℃, resulting in an increase in interface resistance and diffusion of Cr element to poison the cathode. In order to improve oxidation resistance of the stainless steel and prevent Cr volatilization, a protective layer of spinel type may be coated on the surface of the stainless steel.
At present, the spinel protection layer commonly used for stainless steel connectors is mainly composed of (Cu, mn) 3 O 4 Spinel protective layer, but (Cu, mn) 3 O 4 The spinel protective layer has large difference in thermal expansion coefficient and poor oxidation resistance with the stainless steel connector, and obvious cracking and falling-off phenomena of the protective layer are caused after the spinel protective layer is operated for a long time at 600-800 ℃.
Compared with the method for preparing the coating by directly spraying spinel powder on the stainless steel connector, the density of the protective layer prepared by the electroplating oxidation process is higher. However, when manganese is contained in the plating solution, since manganese is the metal having the most negative potential that can be electrolytically reduced from the aqueous solution, the reduction potential is-1.42V. It is difficult to co-plate a manganese-containing coating directly on a substrate, such as when co-plating ferro-manganese, only iron and no manganese are present in the coating. In the prior art, a large current density (10A/dm 2 Above) plating to prepare a manganese alloy coating, but a high current density causes hydrogen to be precipitated at the cathode, so that the obtained manganese alloy layer is not dense and gaps appear.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to find a protective layer comprising manganese spinel that has a coefficient of thermal expansion comparable to that of stainless steel connectors and is dense.
The invention comprises the following steps:
the invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art (Cu, mn) 3 O 4 The spinel protective layer and the stainless steel connector have large thermal expansion coefficient, and are easy to fall off from the stainless steel connector after long-term high-temperature oxidation, thereby providing (Cu, fe, mn) 3 O 4 Spinel protective layer, preparation method and application thereof, and SOFC connector.
The inventors of the present invention found that ternary copper-iron-manganese (Cu, fe, mn) is formed by doping iron element into a binary copper-manganese spinel protective layer 3 O 4 A spinel protective layer having a coefficient of thermal expansion comparable to that of the stainless steel connector,and the adhesive force with the stainless steel connector is strong, and the oxidation resistance of the stainless steel connector can be improved.
In order to achieve the above object, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a process for producing (Cu, fe, mn) 3 O 4 A method of spinel protection, the method comprising:
s1, in Cu-containing 2+ Performing a first electroplating on the substrate in the first electroplating solution;
s2 is in the presence of Fe 2+ And Mn of 2+ In the second electroplating solution, performing second electroplating on the substrate obtained in the step S1;
s3, sintering the substrate obtained in the step S2 to obtain (Cu, fe, mn) on the surface of the substrate 3 O 4 And a spinel protective layer.
In step S2, the conditions of the second plating include: the current density is 1-5A/dm 2 The electroplating time is 5-15 min.
It is a second object of the present invention to provide a composition (Cu, fe, mn) obtained according to the method 3 O 4 And a spinel protective layer.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for producing the above-mentioned alloy 3 O 4 Use of a spinel protective layer in a SOFC connector.
The fourth object of the present invention is to provide an SOFC connector comprising a stainless steel substrate and a protective layer coated on the surface of the stainless steel substrate, wherein the protective layer is the above (Cu, fe, mn) 3 O 4 And a spinel protective layer.
Through the technical scheme, the invention has the following technical effects:
1. the invention prepares (Cu, fe, mn) on a stainless steel substrate by an electroplating-oxidation method for the first time 3 O 4 A ternary spinel oxide protective layer.
2. The invention is 1-5A/dm 2 Under the condition of realizing the co-plating of the ferro-manganese to form a ferro-manganese composite plating layer, not only reducing the hydrogen evolution reaction in the plating solution, accelerating the deposition of manganese, improving the current efficiency of a system, but also improving the density of a protective layer; in addition, the low current electroplating is greatly reducedThe high energy consumption of manganese plating is reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the protective layer can be reduced.
3. Relatively conventional (Cu, mn) 3 O 4 Binary spinel, provided by the invention (Cu, fe, mn) 3 O 4 The spinel protective layer is more attached to the thermal expansion coefficient of the stainless steel substrate, and the adhesion to the stainless steel connector at high temperature is obviously better than that of (Cu, mn) 3 O 4 A protective layer coated with (Cu, fe, mn) 3 O 4 The weight of the spinel protective layer stainless steel connector is not increased basically after the spinel protective layer is oxidized for 350 hours at 800 ℃, and the protective layer is complete after the spinel protective layer is oxidized for 2000 hours at 800 ℃.

In step S2, the conditions of the second plating include: the current density is 1-5A/dm 2 The electroplating time is 5-15 min.
In the invention, too high current density of the second plating can lead to poor density of the protective layer, and the current density of the second plating is preferably 1-5A/dm 2 For example, 1A/dm 2 、2A/dm 2 、3A/dm 2 、4A/dm 2 、5A/dm 2 Or any value in the range formed by any two values described above. The second electroplatedToo short time can lead to the thickness of the protective layer to be small, cr in the connector cannot be effectively prevented from escaping in the high-temperature oxidation process, too long electroplating time can lead to the thickness of the protective layer to be too high, the adhesive force between the protective layer and the connector is reduced, the protective layer is easy to peel off from the connector after high-temperature oxidation, and under the preferred condition, the time of the second electroplating is 5-15 min, for example, can be 5min, 8min, 10min, 12min, 15min or any value in a range formed by any two values.

The invention also provides an SOFC connector, which comprises a stainless steel matrix and a protective layer coated on the surface of the stainless steel matrix, wherein the protective layer is the (Cu, fe, mn) 3 O 4 And a spinel protective layer. The type of stainless steel may be known to those skilled in the art, and may be 340 stainless steel, for example.
The present invention will be described in detail by way of specific examples.
In the following examples, the oxidation weight gain parameters were measured by the method of calculating the square of the oxidation weight gain per unit area from the difference in sample weights at different times of high temperature oxidation, as follows:
accurately weighing the dried stainless steel connector, and recording the mass m of the stainless steel connector 0 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Placing the stainless steel connector into a pre-heated crucible, placing the crucible into a high-temperature muffle furnace, oxidizing in air at 800 ℃ for a certain time, cooling the oxidized sample to normal temperature in a dryer, accurately weighing again, and recording the mass m 1 The square of the oxidation weight gain is calculated according to formula (1):
in the formula (1), S is the area of the stainless steel connector.
In the plating of the following examples, a platinum electrode (20 mm. Times.20 mm. Times.1 mm) was used as the anode and 430 stainless steel was used as the cathode.
Before electroplating, the 430 stainless steel is pretreated by the following steps: polishing 430 stainless steel (with the size of 10mm multiplied by 2 mm) with 400-mesh, 600-mesh, 1000-mesh and 2000-mesh sand paper in sequence, and then sequentially placing the polished stainless steel in alkaline solution for degreasing and pickling to remove oxide films; and then sequentially ultrasonically cleaning with deionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol, and finally drying.
Example 1
S1, plating copper on the surface of 430 stainless steel, wherein the first electroplating solution comprises the following components:
CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O 0.5mol/L
H 2 SO 4 0.2mol/L
HCl 0.1g/L。
s2, co-plating an iron-manganese coating on the substrate obtained in the step S1, wherein the second electroplating solution comprises the following components (the pH value of the second electroplating solution is adjusted to be=5):
s3, placing the substrate obtained in the step S2 in a muffle furnace, sintering for 10h at 800 ℃ and forming (Cu, fe, mn) on the surface of 430 stainless steel 3 O 4 And (5) protecting the layer to obtain the connector.
Example 2 and comparative examples 1 to 2
Electroplating was performed using the electroplating solution of example 1, except that: the current density and plating time are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
As can be seen from the comparison of FIGS. 1 to 3, the density of the protective layer decreases with the increase of the current density under the condition that the electroplating time is unchangedThe smaller the protective layer obtained by sintering is, the more compact; the invention realizes the control of the current density (2-5A/dm 2 ) Then, the surface of the copper plating layer is co-plated to prepare the ferro-manganese composite plating layer, and the ferro-manganese composite plating layer is prepared by further sintering and oxidizing (Cu, fe, mn) 3 O 4 And a spinel protective layer.
As can be seen from FIG. 4, when the current is increased to 15A/dm 2 When the high current is used, the hydrogen evolution effect is aggravated, so that hydrogen can be evolved in the electroplating process, the adhesion between the plating layer and the substrate is poor, and gaps are generated between the sintered protective layer and the substrate.
Examples 3-4 and comparative examples 3-5
Electroplating was performed using the electroplating solution of example 1, except that: the current density and plating time are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
As can be seen from comparison of FIGS. 5 to 9, under the condition of constant current density, the volatilization inhibition effect of the protective layer on chromium element in the substrate is obviously enhanced along with the extension of the electroplating time, and the effect is better within 10-20 min (example 1/3/4) of the total electroplating time.
As shown in fig. 10, after the total plating time reached 40min (comparative example 5), the protective layer was peeled off after the connector was air-treated at 800 ℃ for 100 hours; in example 4, however, the total plating time was 20 minutes (FIG. 15A), and the protective layer did not change significantly when the connector was air-treated at 800℃for 2000 hours.
FIG. 11 is an XRD pattern of the protective layer obtained in example 4. As can be seen from FIG. 11, the main crystal phase of the protective layer obtained in example 4 is Cu of spinel structure 0.5 FeMn 1.5 O 4
Comparative examples 6 to 7
In comparative examples 6 to 7, the first plating, i.e., copper plating on the 340 stainless steel substrate surface was not performed, and the 340 stainless steel substrate surface was directly plated with a ferro-manganese plating layer, the composition of the plating solution was the same as in example 1, and the plating process was as shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 Table 3
FIG. 12 is an XRD pattern of the protective layer obtained in example 4 and the protective layer obtained in comparative example 6, and it can be seen from FIG. 12 that when the iron-manganese plating layer is directly plated on the surface of 340 stainless steel substrate with a large current, the sintered product of the plating layer is Mn 2 O 3 And Fe (Fe) 2 O 3 Does not form a spinel phase.
FIG. 13 is an XRD pattern (unoxidized) of the electroplated coating of comparative example 7, as can be seen from FIG. 13, when the Fe-Mn coating was co-plated directly on the 430 stainless steel substrate with a small current, only the more pronounced Fe element peaks and no Mn and Cr peaks were present in the XRD pattern of the coating, indicating that only the Fe layer could be plated on the 430 stainless steel substrate with a small current, but not the co-Mn coating; furthermore, since no chromium peaks appear in the XRD pattern, it is suggested that iron originates from the plating layer rather than the stainless steel substrate.
Comparative example 8
The procedure of example 4 is followed, except that the second plating solution does not contain FeSO 4 ·7H 2 The composition of the second plating solution was as follows, and the plating process was as shown in Table 4.
TABLE 4 Table 4
The linker obtained in comparative example 8 (coated (Cu, mn) 3 O 4 Protective layer) and the linker ((Cu, fe, mn) obtained in example 4 3 O 4 Spinel protective layer) was treated at 800 ℃ for 350 hours, respectively, and the oxidative weight gain of both linkers at different times was recorded, and the results are shown in fig. 14. As can be seen from FIG. 14, the oxidation weight of the connector in example 4 was significantly lower than that of the connector in comparative example 8 when oxidized for 100 hours or more, indicating (Cu, fe, mn) 3 O 4 Spinel protective layer having a specific (CuMn) 3 O 4 The protective layer has better oxidation resistance.
FIG. 15 shows the connector (coating (Cu, mn)) obtained in comparative example 8 3 O 4 Protective layer) and the linker ((Cu, fe, mn) obtained in example 4 3 O 4 Spinel protective layer) after 2000 hours of treatment at 800 c, it can be seen from fig. 15 that the protective layer starts to develop large-area cracks and peeling off after the connector of comparative example 8 is treated in air at 800 c for 2000 hours. In example 4, the protective layer was only slightly cracked at the locations clamped by the alligator clip, thereby further illustrating (Cu, fe, mn) 3 O 4 Spinel protective layer having a specific (CuMn) 3 O 4 The protective layer has better protective effect.
The cracking and falling off of the protective layer are mainly related to the surface treatment of the substrate, the compactness of the protective layer and the difference of the thermal expansion coefficients of the protective layer and the substrate. In the invention, the material of the substrate and the surface treatment method are consistent, so that the influence of the substrate can be ignored. Therefore, in the invention, the difference of cracks and falling of the protective layer in each embodiment is mainly influenced by the density of the coating and the thermal expansion coefficient of the protective layer and the substrate, and the lower the density of the protective layer is, the easier the substrate is oxidized, so that the protective layer falls off; the larger the difference of the thermal expansion coefficients is, the more serious the cracking and falling-off phenomena of the protective layer are; in addition, cracking caused by the difference in thickness of the protective layer is because the thicker the protective layer is, the more serious the thermal expansion and contraction becomes, and thus the more serious the peeling and cracking become.
