Abstract

The invention provides a surface anti-corrosion and conductive chromium carbide/graphite composite coating for a vanadium redox flow battery stainless steel bipolar plate, which is prepared by adopting a chemical vapor deposition method, wherein a vapour phase deposition atmosphere is an acetylene-hydrogen mixed gas or methane-hydrogen mixed gas, and the reaction temperature is 800-9500 DEG C. Before the composite coating is subjected to vapour phase deposition, a chromium-rich layer needs to be prepared on the surface of stainless steel. The chromium-rich layer is prepared by adopting methods such as electroplating, physical vapor deposition, solid powder seepage and the like. Meanwhile, a Ni catalysis layer deposited on the surface of the chromium-rich layer is beneficial to deposition of a graphite layer and can inhibit oxidization of the stainless steel. The stainless steel bipolar plate surface anti-corrosion and conductive chromium carbide/graphite composite coating is prepared by using excellent anti-corrosion property and better conduction property of a thermally-growing no-defect chromium carbide layer and better anti-corrosion property and low contact resistance of the graphite layer through synchronous deposition of the chemical vapor deposition method. The composite coating can provide excellent anti-corrosion property and conduction property for the vanadium redox flow battery stainless steel bipolar plate.
