The fuel cell can be a nineteenth-century European scientist. As early as the year of the year, c. sesame oil has discovered the electrochemical effect of the simple electro-acoustic, and the chlorine or oxygen on the gold electrode can be in the chemical reaction process of the lamp. Produce electric current, and in the next year, the café lion RG face (9) plucked the core of the real wealth, (four) the water to ask for money, and in turn, the nitrogen and the discussion (four), the face is 峨 理, and w battery "Fu delete" - The word is proposed by the two chemists of Hong Kong and C. u Li in 1889 to replace oxygen and hydrogen with air and m phase to produce the first practical fuel cell. However, due to the extensive exploitation of oil and the wide application of internal combustion engines The development of fuel cells has stopped for it. 'But Lu Lai has changed Wei. _ Research and Gu, the most representative of its towel is the fuel cell used in the spear force w. The fuel cell is lighter than the general chemical battery. The chemical properties are also higher than that of the gods. (4) The pool_product water can be too much water, because the fuel cell plays the role of the space ship owner. After 7 years of development, the fuel pool has been developed for many years. Nowadays, there are many different forms, which are distinguished by electrical quality. They can be mainly divided into aplastic fuel cell (AFC) and proton exchange membrane fuel cell (FC). %% secret house pool (office (:), county carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), solid oxide fuel cell (S〇FC), direct methanol fuel cell (DMFO, red operating temperature to L points, can be divided into low temperature Fuel cell (operating temperature is 耽~·.〇, common with AFC, PEMFC, D_c 'medium temperature fuel cell (operating temperature boots ~ off), common, high temperature fuel cell (operating temperature 60〇t: ~1000^ 1282185 p32-010.doc (1) Alkaline fuel cell (AFC) AFC uses stone, _ as the carrier of electrolysis #, hydrogen peroxide enough qh) solution as electrolyte, operating temperature is between ah and hop. Hydrogen is used as the anode fuel gas, and pure oxygen is used as the cathode oxidant. The fuel limit is very strict, and the electrolyte rot is strong, so the battery life is short. (2) Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) PEMFC is a solid polymer membrane with good quality. For the electrolyte 'operation temperature is assigned below. PEMFC is rich The gas is fuel, but there is no excessive c〇 (tolerance of Uppm). In order to avoid the extreme poisoning of the touch, the PEMFC is water, so water management is an important factor affecting the efficiency of the fuel cell.

In the above various fuel cells in the market according to their battery characteristics and power generation capacity in the market, in the portable power applications, there are PEMFC, SOFC, DMFC, and in the car - force application, there is PEMFC, in commercial power applications There are MCFC, s〇FC, and there are MCFC and SOFC in the part of industrial power, and s〇FC in decentralized power plants. Today, after entering the 21st century, there are many experiences and applications in the world that use fuel cells, and today's society is also beginning to develop fuel cells as portable or multi-purpose mobile electronic products. DMFC has the characteristics of simple system structure, high volumetric energy unit density and low battery operating temperature. Therefore, direct methanol fuel cell is especially suitable for power applications of mobile phones, PDAs and notebook computers.

As shown in the second figure, the single cell flow channel plate of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is mainly provided with a mesh type flow channel, a gate block type flow channel, a meandering flow channel, and an interdigitated type. Directly appealing to methanol fuel cells basically uses the above form, but since the anode fuel is liquid, the density is relatively small, and it is better to adopt a design with lower flow resistance. In addition, for more battery cells with cdl, fuel is required to be uniform. Ground supply to each cdl, so that each cdl can have uniform performance. In addition, the direct-methanol fuel cell (DMFC) yin-yang bipolar plate is similar to proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), should have the following basic functions, To achieve good battery performance · (1) Separate the oxidant and reducing agent to avoid the influence of hydrogen (PEM FC) methanol (DMFC) crossover through the plate (2) Excellent mechanical strength, so that the bipolar plate can be balanced with MEA Contact to collect current. 12821 85 , p32-010.doc ' (3) Appropriate flow path design, so that the fuel can be evenly distributed into the Cell, producing a uniform electrochemical reaction, and the product carbon dioxide is discharged at the anode, and the cathode can take away the product water. To avoid the phenomenon of water accumulation and reduce battery efficiency. (4) Good heat conduction efficiency, uniform temperature inside the battery, and heat dissipation and temperature control effect. (5) Excellent conductivity to collect current. _ (6) Suitable The opening ratio of the electrode plate, the ratio of the flow field groove area to the total electrode area should have an appropriate ratio, and the opening is too high, which may cause the contact resistance of the MEA and the bipolar plate to be too high and the performance is lowered, and the opening is too low. It will reduce the utilization of MEA catalyst, and the resistance of the internal flow field will be too high, which will also reduce the battery performance. (7) Low density to reduce the weight of the battery. Currently widely used bipolar plates, many of which contain flow The circuit design has the function of transporting fuel and collecting electrons. The outermost layer is a metal collector plate, and the electrons are connected to the external electric φ road cathode through the anode metal collector plate to form a loop. The main material of the bipolar plate The classification is as follows: (1) Graphite bipolar plate non-porous graphite plate ' needs to be mixed with graphite powder and high temperature after being mixed with graphitizable resin. The carbonization time is long. After forming, it is necessary to mechanically describe the flow field. The production cost is quite expensive. Therefore, a composite type (carb〇nP〇lymer composites) graphite plate obtained by hot pressing or injection molding of graphite powder plus a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin can reduce the cost, but increases the electric resistance of the bipolar plate. 2) Metal bipolar plate 1282185 p32-010.doc Metal is a bipolar plate material, which is a way of replacing materials, such as Ming, Titanium, and No. Steel, which are mainly in the low field and easy to manufacture, but Sub-exchange battery or direct sterol (4) battery, after the reaction level, shame needs to be treated with anti-mite. (3) The composite bipolar plate combines the characteristics of various materials, and uses thin gold and gold to make a partition plate. It uses polycarbonate and other injections to make it fit with Jin Yu, and it is called by injection molding and county preparation. The thin carbon plate of the hole is used as a flow field plate to bond between the metal and the carbon flow field plate with a layer of _ conductive adhesive.

The flow field plate 77 has a flow path 773, a liquid fuel wheel inlet 772 and an output port 771. The shape of the guide vane 773 is as shown in the eighth riding, and includes a _ order rectangular broken (four), a second-order rectangular fractal, a ^ _ ton 3, a cap broken dragon '- café shape 85, a heterozygous fractal %, etc. γ Of course, the shape of the flow guide 773 can be one of the fractal shapes. The anode current collecting plate 71 has an anode output end 711 and an opening structure 712; and the cathode current collecting plate has a cathode output (4) and a semantic structure 752. The opening structure 721 is as shown in the ninth figure, and has a rectangular rectangular opening 91, a second-order rectangular broken opening 92, a first-order circular broken open-hole milk, a fractal opening 94, and a broken shape P_. The second-shaped open-opening structure 712 can be one of the fractal forms... and the bipolar plate. (4) (4) The plate 71 and the cathode collector plate 75 are formed. Thus, 4, in order to make the chemical reaction of the battery stable, and increase the effective area of the reaction, the battery power supply time is increased. The difference between this case and the conventional technology is that the opening of the flow field plate or the opening of the collector plate is a fractal geometry. The ribbed structure of this suffix is designed like various shapes, and the order can be determined according to the design. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention is exemplified by a single battery, and its application can also be extended to a multi-battery, and the present invention is characterized by the fact that the flow field plate is not limited to the structure of the invention. The generation of the fractal structure can be produced by injection molding, which is technically feasible. In summary, the fuel cell with a broken structure can make the internal chemical reaction more uniform, increase the effective area of the reaction, and increase the power supply time of the fuel cell, so that the application of electricity, and the application can be more tender. . Fu Zengjie, the change in the structure of the coffee and the material, is still protected by the county case. For example, the tearing gaze of the flow field plate of Congchi is increased or changed, or the side battery is changed, only the tearing or collecting electricity = _, the transferer, the domain is the hybrid of this _ thought, the original of the case Thinking of 'white' is the protector of the case.
