Abstract

The invention relates to a metal gas diffusion layer used for a fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a stainless steel short fiber sintering felt by adopting a vacuum high temperature sintering method, then sequentially preparing a chromium layer and a graphite layer on the pretreated stainless steel short fiber sintering feltby adopting a closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering ion plating technology, and then carrying out hydrophobic processing on the entire of the coated stainless steel short fiber sintering felt by utilizing polytetrafluoroethylene; and finally coating powdered carbon on the surface by adopting an ultrasonic oscillation method to obtain the metal gas diffusion layer used for the fuel cell. Inthe invention, stainless steel fiber with low price is taken as raw material, the high temperature vacuum sintering method is adopted to prepare the sintering felt, and the magnetron sputtering ion plating technology is utilized to prepare a carbon coating so as to improve the contact performance and anti-corrosion performance of the metal gas diffusion layer, thus the high-performance gas diffusion layer used for the fuel cell is prepared with low cost.
