Description

Preparation method of graphite polar plate, fuel cell and vehicle
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a graphite polar plate, a preparation method of the graphite polar plate, a fuel cell and a vehicle.
Background
Energy is an important basis for human survival and development, and at present, traditional non-renewable energy sources such as coal, petroleum, natural gas and the like are still main energy sources. However, the energy sources have limited reserves, low energy conversion efficiency and more secondary pollutants, and cause great harm to the environment. Therefore, the search for new sustainable clean energy is an urgent problem to be solved.
Currently, fuel cell technology is receiving more and more attention due to its advantages of low pollution, high efficiency, wide fuel source, etc., and becomes an energy technology with great prospect in the 21 st century. The fuel cell realizes the conversion from chemical energy to electric energy by respectively carrying out redox reactions on fuel (hydrogen, methanol and the like) and oxide (oxygen) at an anode and a cathode without a heat engine process, so the fuel cell is not limited by Carnot cycle, has high energy conversion efficiency (40-60 percent), and has the characteristics of cleanness, no pollution, no noise, no infrared and the like.
The bipolar plate serves as one of the key components of a fuel cell, and has the main functions of distributing reactant gases, transporting reactant products, collecting and conducting current, supporting a membrane electrode, transferring excess heat, and the like. At present, the polar plate material of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell mainly comprises two types, namely metal and graphite. The graphite polar plate is divided into a machine-carved graphite plate and a mould-pressed graphite plate, wherein the machine-carved graphite plate firstly carbonizes graphite at high temperature, then resin is impregnated to obtain a graphite flat plate, and finally a channel is carved on the flat plate through machining to obtain the graphite plate. Although the graphite polar plate has high strength and good conductivity, the processing is time-consuming and high in cost, and the cost of the fuel cell is not reduced; the mould pressing graphite plate is firstly mould pressed by the expanded graphite through a mould pressing machine, and then resin is impregnated to obtain the mould pressing graphite polar plate. The molded graphite polar plate has simple manufacture and low cost, is suitable for large-scale industrial production, and is the main development direction of the current bipolar plate.
However, the molded graphite electrode plate has the defects that the expanded graphite forms a graphite sheet structure in the molded graphite electrode plate, and discontinuous points are formed between adjacent graphite sheets due to incomplete contact, so that the conduction of current is influenced by the presence of the discontinuous points, and the electrical conductivity is weakened.
Patent CN 109921055 a discloses an ultrathin graphene composite flexible graphite bipolar plate and a preparation method thereof. According to the method, a graphene film is firstly adhered to the outer surface of a flexible graphite polar plate, and then the flexible graphite plate is obtained through mould pressing and polar plate bonding processes. The flexible graphite polar plate prepared by the method has obviously improved gas barrier performance and contact resistance because the outer surface of the flexible graphite polar plate is provided with the ultra-thin compact graphene film. However, since the graphene film is only adhered to the surface, the bulk resistivity is still not effectively improved, and the bipolar plate is continuously subjected to gas purging in the using process, the graphene film with surface viscosity is likely to peel off from the polar plate under long-time purging, so that the problems of flow channel blockage, performance reduction and the like are caused.
