Definitions
- Component for an electrochemical cell as well as a redox flow cell, fuel cell and electrolyser
- the invention relates to a component for an electrochemical cell comprising a metal substrate and a layer system applied at least partially to the metal substrate, the layer system comprising a first layer arranged on the metal substrate and a second layer arranged on the first layer.
- the invention also relates to electrochemical cells in the form of redox flow cells, electrolyzers and fuel cells.
- Hydrogen represents an important raw material for key technologies with regard to future energy storage and energy conversion.
- Water electrolysis is based on the decomposition of water into the components hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2).
- a hydrogen-powered fuel cell generates electrical energy from the hydrogen.
- a reduction in the hydrogen production costs by electrolysers comprising a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM-EL) and a reduction in the production costs of the components of a fuel cell comprising a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM-BZ) represent a basic requirement for future efficient use of these systems.
- the main components of a PEM Electrolyzer stacks/PEM fuel cell stacks are the bipolar plates (BiP), the current collectors or fluid diffusion layers and the membrane electrode unit (MEA).
- bipolar plates account for a not inconsiderable proportion of the manufacturing costs of the respective stacks.
- the essential requirements for the components, such as the bipolar plates and fluid diffusion layers, are high corrosion resistance combined with low substrate and interface resistances.
- Titanium and stainless steel plates are the state of the art in electrolysis. While the field of application of stainless steel plates on the anode side is limited to a pH range of around 7 due to the high oxidation potential present, titanium plates can be used over a wide pH range from 1 to 7. On the cathode side, titanium proves to be disadvantageous since it tends to become hydrogen embrittlement. Furthermore, the operation of electrolyser stacks with titanium plates shows an increase in the ohmic see losses due to surface passivation. against this background, the use of niobium, platinum or gold coatings on titanium plates is known. Extensive use of stainless steel to form a bipolar plate requires the use of an electrochemically stable, conductive and, in particular, dense, impenetrable coating. In particular, tightness with respect to aqueous electrolytes should be achieved.
- Flow battery systems as storage systems also enable a sustainable energy supply for stationary and mobile fields of application using renewable energies.
- the aim is to make battery stacks as compact as possible.
- high power densities pose major challenges for the individual components of a battery stack.
- a new approach here is a metallic electrode with a structured geometry to ensure homogeneous distribution of an electrolyte in the active area and at the same time enable small distances to the membrane.
- metallic electrodes require corresponding surface properties that meet the high requirements of electrochemical stability, low interfacial resistance and catalytic activity.
- composite plates comprising plastic and graphite (thickness ⁇ 0.5-0.6 mm) with a carbon black active coating applied on both sides (thickness ⁇ 0.1-0.3 mm) are often used as electrodes is applied dry-pressed or wet-chemically. This results in a total plate thickness of the electrode of ⁇ 0.7-1.2 mm.
- thicknesses of ⁇ 0.5 mm can be achieved over a large area. It can also be assumed that the processability of large-area metallic plates is more favorable compared to injection-moulded plastic frames with graphite-based electrodes.
- Electrochemical stability pH range: 1 -14
- US 2018/0 151 891 A1 discloses an anti-corrosion structure comprising an aluminum layer, an intermediate layer of an alloy containing nickel, tin and aluminum applied thereto and an anti-corrosion layer of an alloy containing nickel and tin applied to the intermediate layer.
- the anti-corrosion structure is used as a bipolar plate in a fuel cell.
- JP 2011 198 573 A describes a separator for a fuel cell with a substrate made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, a copper layer formed thereon, a tin layer formed on the copper layer and a metal layer formed on the tin layer, which consists of at least one of the elements from the group consisting of titanium , vanadium, chromium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, hafnium, tantalum, tungsten.
- JP 2010 272 429 A discloses a separator for a fuel cell with a substrate made of copper or a copper alloy and a coating made of tin or a tin alloy.
- EP 3 469 646 B1 describes a coated object for an electrochemical device, in particular a PEM fuel cell.
- the object around summarizes on a substrate, for example made of stainless steel, a layer of a binary or ternary tin alloy comprising one or two of the elements of the group nickel, antimony, indium, gallium.
- a coating comprising elemental carbon and an azole-containing corrosion inhibitor is formed on the layer.
- the object is achieved for the component of an electrochemical cell, comprising a metal substrate and a layer system applied at least partially to the metal substrate, the layer system comprising a first layer arranged on the metal substrate and a second layer arranged on the first layer, in that the first layer is formed of copper or nickel and the second layer of a copper-tin alloy or a tin-nickel alloy or a tin-silver alloy or a tin-zinc alloy or a tin-bismuth alloy or a tin-antimony alloy and wherein the metal substrate is formed of stainless steel.
- Such components have excellent electrochemical stability, as is required in electrochemical cells. Because of the low interfacial resistances, such components are particularly suitable for the construction of electrodes of a redox flow cell, of bipolar plates for fuel cells and electrolyzers, and of fluid diffusion layers of electrolyzers.
- the materials tin and nickel proved to be thermodynamically stable over a wide pH range due to the formation of oxides.
- SnCu in particular has proven to be an efficient material composition in the redox flow cell when alkaline electrolytes are used.
- the first layer is made of copper or nickel. This ensures good adhesion of the layer system to the stainless steel metal substrate.
- the metal substrate is preferably formed from grade 1.4404 stainless steel.
- the first layer and/or the second layer is/are preferably formed by galvanic deposition. Electrolyte-tight layers with a layer thickness >10 micrometers can be deposited without further ado using galvanic processes for use in PEM-EL and redox flow cells. As a result, galvanically deposited, conductive and durable layers can be achieved on the metallic substrate made of stainless steel over a wide pH and potential window.
- the galvanic deposition is carried out using a so-called "pulse plating" process, in which the voltage applied to the electrolyte is periodically switched off or reversed.
- the short-term current surges when switching on increase the formation of nuclei for the metal deposition and thus create a basis for fine-grained deposits and gloss.
- the metal substrate is in particular in the form of a metal sheet or a metal foil with a thickness in the range from 0.05 to 1 mm. Furthermore, the metal sheet or the metal foil can have embossed three-dimensional structures in order to enlarge the surface and thus increase the contact area with a fluid in an electrochemical cell.
- the first layer preferably has a layer thickness of up to 5 ⁇ m, in particular in the range of up to 3 ⁇ m.
- the second layer preferably has a layer thickness of up to 30 ⁇ m, in particular in the range from 5 to 20 ⁇ m.
- a surface of the second layer facing away from the metal substrate is in particular anodized.
- a targeted enrichment of the respective alloying element in the form of oxides is possible by means of such a subsequent anodization (surface modification). This is achieved by applying potentials to components immersed in aqueous electrolytes.
- the component according to the invention is preferably in the form of an electrode for a redox flow cell, with the layer system covering the metal substrate at least in a contact area with an electrolyte of the redox flow cell.
- a redox flow cell in particular a redox flow battery, comprising the at least one electrode for the redox flow cell and at least one electrolyte, in particular with a pH in the range from 7 to 14 .
- the redox flow cell preferably comprises at least two electrodes, a first reaction space and a second reaction space, each reaction space being in contact with one of the electrodes and the reaction spaces being separated from one another by an ion exchange membrane.
