Problems solved by technology

Corrosion current is obtained by tangent line of Tafel curve test, and its value is affected by scan rate and tangent line position, which has certain uncertainty
However, the corrosion current test time under constant potential is longer, which cannot quickly reflect the corrosion resistance characteristics of the bipolar plate.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for testing the corrosion resistance of a bipolar plate used in a fuel cell. The bipolar plate material whose surface has been cleaned is placed in an electrolyte solution and connected to a working electrode of an electrochemical workstation; a reference electrode is inserted into the electrolyte solution and the counter electrode; the test process is controlled under an oxygen atmosphere, and the open circuit potential of the bipolar plate material is tested with electricity, and the corrosion resistance of the bipolar plate is determined. Compared with the prior art, the present invention can quickly judge the corrosion resistance of the bipolar plate only by measuring the OCP of the bipolar plate material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a method for testing the corrosion resistance of bipolar plates used in fuel cells. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered to be the first choice for the next generation of mobile alternative energy due to its advantages of high efficiency, cleanliness, and fast start-up. The main components of a fuel cell stack include membrane electrode assemblies, bipolar plates, etc., among which the bipolar plates account for a large proportion of the volume and mass of the stack. In addition, the bipolar plate also plays the role of collecting current, distributing fuel and oxidant, and separating single cells. Therefore, an ideal bipolar plate needs to have characteristics such as good electrical conductivity, high air tightness, low density, and good corrosion resistance. There are two types of bipolar plates commonly used at present: graphite bi...
