背景技术Background technique
燃料电池使用氢气作为能源,具有高效环保、比能量和比功率高、启动快等诸多有点,在各个领域具有广泛的应用前景。其中双极板作为燃料电池的关键部件之一,具有支撑电池结构、分配反应气体、收集电流、串联各电池等关键作用,因此其性能好坏制约着燃料电池的商业化进程。Fuel cells use hydrogen as an energy source, which has many advantages such as high efficiency and environmental protection, high specific energy and specific power, and fast startup. It has a wide range of applications in various fields. Among them, the bipolar plate, as one of the key components of the fuel cell, has the key functions of supporting the structure of the cell, distributing the reaction gas, collecting current, and connecting the cells in series. Therefore, its performance restricts the commercialization process of the fuel cell.
目前双极板常用的材料为石墨或金属,其中石墨双极板具有难加工、存在气体渗透、机械性能较差等缺点,而金属双极板因其较好的机械性能、易加工性、无气体渗透、低成本等优点已成为燃料电池双极板主要材料。燃料电池金属双极板一般工作在pH值为2-5、温度为70-100℃的高温高湿酸性环境中,该环境下服役的金属双极板表面通常会发生钝化形成一层致密、导电性差的金属氧化膜,导致金属极板与气体扩散层间接触电阻增大,进而导致电池因欧姆极化产生的电压损失增加,电池输出功率下降,同时双极板中的金属离子因腐蚀释放并与催化剂、膜电极反应,影响电池反应活性及传质,进一步影响电池性能。因此仅靠金属双极板并不能满足燃料电池的使用要求。At present, graphite or metal is commonly used as the material of bipolar plates. Among them, graphite bipolar plates have the disadvantages of difficulty in processing, gas permeation, and poor mechanical properties. Metal bipolar plates have good mechanical properties, ease of processing, and Gas permeation, low cost and other advantages have become the main materials of fuel cell bipolar plates. Fuel cell metal bipolar plates generally work in a high-temperature, high-humidity, acidic environment with a pH of 2-5 and a temperature of 70-100 ° C. The surface of metal bipolar plates in service in this environment is usually passivated to form a dense, dense, The poorly conductive metal oxide film causes the contact resistance between the metal plate and the gas diffusion layer to increase, which in turn leads to an increase in the voltage loss of the battery due to ohmic polarization and a decrease in battery output power. At the same time, metal ions in the bipolar plate are released due to corrosion. It also reacts with the catalyst and membrane electrode, which affects the reaction activity and mass transfer of the battery, and further affects the battery performance. Therefore, metal bipolar plates alone cannot meet the requirements for the use of fuel cells.
目前可通过物理气相沉积(PVD)、化学气相沉积(CVD)、离子镀、化学镀、电镀等方法在金属双极板表面镀覆功能性薄膜,以提高其耐腐蚀性及导电性。常用功能性薄膜包括非晶碳薄膜、金属碳化物薄膜、金属氮化物薄膜、贵金属薄膜、有机物薄膜等,其中贵金属薄膜具备较好的导电性、耐蚀性及稳定性,但其成本较高难以商业化应用,而非贵金属涂层虽制备成本较低,但其性能较贵金属差,目前尚不能满足燃料电池寿命要求。中国专利CN 103484910 A公开了一种采用电镀方法制备的金涂层,随后对金涂层进行热处理以减少涂层孔隙率,但该涂层接触电阻为15-22mΩ·cm 2,电池输出电压将因较高的接触电阻值降低,同时涂层制备成本较高;中国专利CN 101640276 A公开了一种燃 料电池双极板无定型碳涂层,该涂层具备较好的导电性及耐腐蚀性,但数据表明其接触电阻在双极板工作压力下大于10mΩ·cm 2,同时该涂层在长时间电化学测试后导电性能未知。本发明将在保证金属双极板导电耐蚀性能的前提下,通过多种低成本掺杂方法制备燃料电池金属双极板涂层。 Currently, functional thin films can be plated on the surface of metal bipolar plates by methods such as physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), ion plating, chemical plating, and electroplating to improve their corrosion resistance and conductivity. Commonly used functional films include amorphous carbon films, metal carbide films, metal nitride films, precious metal films, organic films, etc. Among them, precious metal films have good conductivity, corrosion resistance and stability, but their cost is difficult Commercial applications, while non-precious metal coatings have lower production costs, but their performance is inferior to that of precious metals, and currently cannot meet the fuel cell life requirements. Chinese patent CN 103484910 A discloses a gold coating prepared by electroplating, followed by heat treatment of the gold coating to reduce the porosity of the coating, but the coating has a contact resistance of 15-22 mΩ · cm 2 and the battery output voltage will be Due to the lower contact resistance value and the higher cost of coating preparation; Chinese patent CN 101640276 A discloses an amorphous carbon coating for a fuel cell bipolar plate, which has better conductivity and corrosion resistance However, the data show that its contact resistance is greater than 10mΩ · cm 2 under the working pressure of the bipolar plate, and the conductivity of the coating is unknown after a long-term electrochemical test. The invention will prepare a fuel cell metal bipolar plate coating through a variety of low-cost doping methods on the premise of ensuring the conductivity and corrosion resistance of the metal bipolar plate.
