Problems solved by technology

The moisture generated during the power generation process of the fuel cell can only be discharged out of the fuel cell through the flow channel groove. The drainage transmission and the reaction gas transmission share the same flow field channel, which makes the water carrying capacity and moisture discharge efficiency of the fuel cell relatively low, thus affecting The comprehensive performance of the fuel cell makes it necessary to further improve the power generation performance and cold start performance of the fuel cell

Abstract

The invention relates to a bipolar plate for a squamous flow-diversion fuel cell containing capillary groove ridges. A capillary groove is formed in a flow channel ridge of a double-ridge plate, the upper part is of a rectangular groove structure, and the lower part is of a right-angled triangular groove structure; squamous flow-diversion ridges are arranged in the flow channel grooves, and each squamous ridge is of a structure from low to high in the gas flowing direction. Moisture in a diffusion layer of the fuel cell is transmitted through the upper rectangular groove of the capillary groove; and the lower right-angled triangular groove can guide water into a main flow field of the bipolar plate, so that the drainage characteristic of the bipolar plate of the fuel cell is enhanced, thegas transmission characteristic in a membrane electrode diffusion layer of the fuel cell is improved in an auxiliary manner, and the power generation performance and the cold start performance of thefuel cell are improved. Through the squamous flow-diversion ridges, the gas obtains the flow velocity vertical to the membrane electrode, the gas mass transfer performance is enhanced, and the power generation performance of the fuel cell is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of a three-dimensional flow field bipolar plate for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, in particular to a bipolar plate for a scaly split-flow fuel cell containing capillary ridges. Background technique [0002] Environmentally friendly green renewable energy is the trend of international new energy development, and hydrogen energy, as a renewable energy source, can be obtained by inexhaustible wind / solar electrolysis of water, and then generated by hydrogen fuel cells. The by-product of energy is only water, so as to realize green closed-loop energy utilization. [0003] One of the ways to utilize hydrogen energy is fuel cells fueled by hydrogen. The application fields range from fixed power stations to mobile power sources. Among them, fuel cell vehicles as the driving power of electric vehicles are considered to be the ultimate substitutes for traditional gasoline vehicles. . Bipolar plates are one o...
