技术领域technical field
本发明涉及燃料电池领域,具体而言,涉及一种超疏冷凝水表面及其制备方法、电池极板和燃料电池。The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a superphobic condensed water surface and a preparation method thereof, a battery electrode plate and a fuel cell.
背景技术Background technique
质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)具有清洁无污染、噪音低、效率高、启动快速以及低温环境适应性良好等特点,可广泛应用于交通、能源等领域。双极板是燃料电池的核心部件之一,具有共用通道、阴极流场、阳极流场和冷却流场等结构,主要功能包括均匀分配燃料电池内部反应气体、移除反应水、导电导热以及提供机械支撑等。Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has the characteristics of clean and pollution-free, low noise, high efficiency, fast start-up and good adaptability to low temperature environment, and can be widely used in transportation, energy and other fields. The bipolar plate is one of the core components of the fuel cell. It has structures such as a common channel, cathode flow field, anode flow field and cooling flow field. Its main functions include evenly distributing the reaction gas inside the fuel cell, removing reaction water, conducting electricity and heat conduction, and providing Mechanical support, etc.
图1a为燃料电池流场水淹示意图,在高电流密度的运行条件下,燃料电池阴极侧会因电化学反应及电渗拖拽效应产生大量的水,从而造成双极板阴极流场内液态水的积聚,严重时会导致水淹,进而阻碍反应气体的有效传输和扩散,导致燃料电池性能的衰减和内部组件的损伤。因此,在燃料电池应用中通常会对双极板流场进行疏水处理。Figure 1a is a schematic diagram of water flooding in the flow field of the fuel cell. Under the operating conditions of high current density, a large amount of water will be generated on the cathode side of the fuel cell due to the electrochemical reaction and electroosmotic drag effect, resulting in a liquid state in the cathode flow field of the bipolar plate. The accumulation of water, in severe cases, can lead to flooding, which in turn hinders the efficient transport and diffusion of reactive gases, resulting in degradation of fuel cell performance and damage to internal components. Therefore, bipolar plate flow fields are often hydrophobicized in fuel cell applications.
在实现本说明书实施例的过程中,发明人发现:In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present specification, the inventors found that:
由于质子交换膜燃料电池常常在高温下运行,在催化层容易产生大量的气态水,而催化层和双极板之间存在较大的温差,水气在双极板流场降温容易形成冷凝水。另外,为了充分润湿质子交换膜,通常会对反应气体进行加湿,进一步加剧了流场中的冷凝效应。图1b示出了现有技术中超疏水表面在冷凝环境下失效示意图,燃料电池在运行时,冷凝水会浸润双极板的疏水或超疏水表面的微缺陷和微纳结构,导致疏水表面的失效,引发液态水在流场内部的积聚,从而造成水淹现象,阻碍水和反应气体的传输和扩散,降低燃料电池的功率密度和寿命。Since proton exchange membrane fuel cells often operate at high temperatures, a large amount of gaseous water is easily generated in the catalytic layer, and there is a large temperature difference between the catalytic layer and the bipolar plate, and the water vapor is easily cooled in the bipolar plate flow field to form condensed water . In addition, in order to fully wet the proton exchange membrane, the reaction gas is usually humidified, which further exacerbates the condensation effect in the flow field. Figure 1b shows a schematic diagram of the failure of the superhydrophobic surface in the prior art in a condensation environment. When the fuel cell is running, the condensed water will infiltrate the micro-defects and micro-nano structures of the hydrophobic or superhydrophobic surface of the bipolar plate, resulting in the failure of the hydrophobic surface. , causing the accumulation of liquid water inside the flow field, resulting in flooding, hindering the transmission and diffusion of water and reactive gases, and reducing the power density and life of the fuel cell.

1、通过脉冲激光束轰击设置在真空腔体中的石墨靶材,制备由石墨纳米颗粒组成的多孔石墨薄膜层,使石墨靶材气化扩散与真空腔体充入的氩气的碰撞减速,形成由纳米级的石墨颗粒组成的多孔石墨薄膜层,并通过气相沉积的方法在该薄膜层上形成硅烷疏水涂层,气相沉积方法得到的硅烷疏水涂层能更全面的覆盖在具有纳米多孔结构的多孔石墨薄膜层上,获得超疏冷凝水表面,该表面的拉普拉斯力和毛细力更容易达到平衡,冷凝水不会浸润表面微缺陷和微结构,从而使极板流场表面不会因为冷凝水的存在导致疏水失效,多孔石墨薄膜层和硅烷疏水涂层的结合是本发明实施例的发明点之一。1. By bombarding the graphite target set in the vacuum cavity with a pulsed laser beam, a porous graphite thin film layer composed of graphite nanoparticles is prepared, so that the gasification and diffusion of the graphite target material and the collision of the argon gas filled in the vacuum cavity are decelerated, A porous graphite thin film layer composed of nanoscale graphite particles is formed, and a silane hydrophobic coating is formed on the thin film layer by a vapor deposition method. The silane hydrophobic coating obtained by the vapor deposition method can more comprehensively cover the nanoporous structure. On the porous graphite thin film layer, a superphobic condensed water surface is obtained, the Laplace force and capillary force of the surface are more easily balanced, and the condensed water will not infiltrate the surface micro-defects and microstructures, so that the flow field surface of the electrode plate does not penetrate. The presence of condensed water will lead to hydrophobic failure, and the combination of the porous graphite thin film layer and the silane hydrophobic coating is one of the inventive points of the embodiments of the present invention.
2、通过脉冲激光束轰击设置在真空腔体中的石墨靶材,使石墨靶材气化扩散与真空腔体充入的氩气的碰撞减速,并设置脉冲激光束的每个脉冲具有800fs至12ps的脉宽,且所述脉冲激光束的直径为120um,气化后的石墨等离子体最终沉积在设置在石墨靶材上方的燃料电池基板的流场结构上,形成了由纳米级的石墨颗粒组成的多孔石墨薄膜层,进一步的充入的氩气的气压为10Pa至50Pa,此气压可保证多孔石墨薄膜层的孔隙率和石墨颗粒的平均粒径在一个合适的区间,比如,孔隙率为30%至80%,石墨颗粒的平均尺寸为1um至20um,以保证形成的多孔结构更有利于拉普拉斯力和毛细力的平衡,是本发明实施例的发明点之一。2.

The gasified graphite plasma is finally deposited on the flow field structure of the fuel cell substrate set above the graphite target, forming nanoscale graphite particles. The formed porous graphite thin film layer, the gas pressure of the argon gas further filled is 10Pa to 50Pa, which can ensure that the porosity of the porous graphite thin film layer and the average particle size of the graphite particles are in a suitable range, for example, the porosity is 30% to 80%, the average size of the graphite particles is 1um to 20um, to ensure that the formed porous structure is more conducive to the balance of Laplace force and capillary force, which is one of the invention points of the embodiments of the present invention.
