緻密質および多孔質の炭素板の製造法に関する。Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Application Field 1] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a carbon plate with high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity in five planes and vertical directions, and is suitable for use in fuel cell electrodes, separators, or electrolysis. This invention relates to a method for manufacturing dense and porous carbon plates used for tank diaphragms, etc.
[従来の技術]

要な材料である。[Prior Art] Although carbon materials are non-metals, they are good conductors of electricity and heat, and have extremely excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance. It is an important material as an insoluble electrode or separator in electrolysis or batteries.

孔質炭素電極が用いられる等各種の要望がある。These electrodes, separators, etc. usually do not directly participate in the reaction themselves, but instead send and receive current, so carbon materials are the best materials for use in areas other than oxidation.1 Normally, fuel cell separators are dense. is often required,
On the other hand, there are various demands such as the use of porous carbon electrodes in fuel cell electrodes, fluorine solution salt electrolysis, and the like.

カーボンを得ることができ。In this case, by increasing the amount of resin impregnated into the sheet and slowing down the heating rate, it is possible to obtain dense glassy carbon when carbonizing and firing the sheet.

It is said that if the carbon is fired at a slightly higher temperature with a smaller amount, a rather porous glassy carbon can be obtained (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 70215/1983).

。At this time, there is also a method of dispersing fine graphite powder in the resin liquid to be impregnated to increase the density (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 145952/1983).

素化する方法によって炭素板としている。The sheets obtained by these methods are impregnated with a thermosetting resin (resins with a high residual carbon content such as phenolic resin and furan resin are mainly used) and then hardened and decarbonized to form carbon plates. It is said that

ない。However, with these methods (in the paper-making process, the alignment of fibers in the carbon plate) becomes parallel to the sheet surface, and this orientation does not change even after curing, baking, etc. Compared to the electrical conductivity in the inner direction, the electrical conductivity in the direction perpendicular to the sheet surface is about one impulse lower. Also, the compressive strength is low compared to the bending strength (1/4 to 175th of the bending strength), etc.? Only carbon plates with strong cytropism can be obtained.

、垂直方向においても熱伝導度が高いことが望ましい。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] For example, in a fuel cell separator, carbon plates desirably have high electrical conductivity in the direction perpendicular to the surface, and in electrodes, it is desirable to prevent local overheating due to reactions on the surface. To prevent this, it is desirable to have high thermal conductivity also in the vertical direction.

mm、多孔度60〜80%の炭素板が必要である。In other words, fuel cells will become the future energy supply method.
Among them, fuel batteries using concentrated phosphoric acid as an electrolyte are considered to be one of the most important power generation methods.
This is a unique battery that has the advantage of being able to use hydrogen as a negative electrode active material while still containing carbon dioxide. The electrodes used there are made of a material that can withstand concentrated hot phosphoric acid, and are made of porous graphite fibers with a thickness of 0.4 to 2.0 mm.
A carbon plate with a porosity of 60 to 80% is required.

ec or less) from a to 1, and the thickness is from 0.4 to 1. Omm carbon plate, and like the porous carbon plate of the electrode, it needs to be made of a material that has excellent phosphoric acid resistance, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity.

要望には満足できないものであった。In a stack, heat must be removed to protect the constituent materials and to equalize reactivity. In this case, cooling is required by passing a coolant such as cooling water through the separator (or interconnector), but in this case heat conduction is required. The higher the ratio and the higher the strength, the more the heat transfer surface can be made 11 times thinner, which is preferable. However, the carbon plate obtained by the above-mentioned manufacturing method has low thermal conductivity in the direction perpendicular to the plate surface, and therefore cannot satisfy these demands.
したがって、これらの用途面に要求される炭素板は、根
面の垂直方向においても強度が高く、電気伝導性も高く
、かつ熱伝導性も優れたものが要求されていた。Therefore, carbon plates required for these applications are required to have high strength even in the direction perpendicular to the root surface, high electrical conductivity, and excellent thermal conductivity.

よる炭素板の′!JJa法である。That is, carbon fibers with a length of 0.5 mm or less are dispersed in a thermosetting resin solution, a sheet of carbon fibers or their precursor fibers is impregnated with this dispersion, and the resin is cured and fired. ! This is the JJa method.

クリル樹脂等残留炭素の高い樹脂が好ましい。Here, the thermosetting resin is not particularly limited as long as it is a resin that is generally cured by heat, but resins with high residual carbon such as phenol resin (novolac or resol are fine), furan resin, and modified acrylic resin are preferable. .

, about 30 parts by weight. If it is less than this range, the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity will not be sufficiently improved, and if it is more than 30%, not only will the impregnation operation be difficult, but the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity will not be sufficiently improved.

が容易である。The sheet used in the present invention is made from carbon fiber, its precursor, cellulose, or a mixture thereof. There are no particular restrictions on the binder, but since carbon fiber has strong elasticity, it can be easily formed into a sheet if 10 to 30% of the binder is made of fine acrylic fibers.
この場合、原料バルブとしてはセルローズのみでなく、
炭素繊維、ポリアクリロニトリルとの混抄したものの方
が効果がある。In this case, the raw material valve is not only cellulose, but also
A mixture of carbon fiber and polyacrylonitrile is more effective.
この理由は明らかではないが、シートの気孔が大きい方

気孔が小さすぎると炭素繊維の突き刺さる量が減少する
ために改占が不充分になると考えられる。The reason for this is not clear, but it seems that the larger the pores in the sheet, the higher the thermal conductivity in the direction perpendicular to the root surface.
Although it is difficult to measure, the diameter of the pores is 100g when seen with SEM.
Since the pores were good when they were about m in diameter, it is assumed that VGCF and the like penetrate vertically into these pores, increasing electrical and thermal conductivity. therefore,
It is thought that if the pores are too small, the amount of carbon fibers that penetrate is reduced, resulting in insufficient reoccupation.
シートの厚みは制限はないが積層前で50〜300H/
m”位であるが、これは垂直に突き刺さるのに都合か良
い厚さであると考える。There is no limit to the thickness of the sheet, but it is 50 to 300H/cm before lamination.
The thickness is approximately 1.5 m, which I think is a suitable thickness for vertical penetration.

い。+11 for firing, the sheet impregnated with resin is dried,
A plurality of sheets, for example, the number of sheets to obtain a desired thickness, are stacked and pressed together, and fired and carbonized by a conventional method. In this case, if you want a porous carbon plate with a porosity of about 50 to 80, it is best to use a spacer when pressing so that the thickness does not fall below the specified thickness (so that it does not become dense). .
