摘要:
Provided is a gas diffusion layer, in which a microporous layer has an inner wall of through passages and a region adjacent to the through passages containing a greater amount of a water-repellent binder resin than a region not adjacent to the through passages, and thus water formed by an electrochemical reaction is effectively discharged from the gas diffusion layer. When the gas diffusion layer of the present invention is used, an optimal water management may be possible for smooth operation under all humidity conditions including a high humidity condition and a low humidity condition, and thus a fuel cell having improved cell performance may be obtained.

A carbon substrate for a gas diffusion layer of a fuel cell, the carbon substrate being a porous carbon substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the carbon substrate includes a plurality of carbon fibers arranged irregularly to form a non-woven type and a carbide of an organic polymer located between the carbon fibers to bind the carbon fibers to each other, the carbide has a graphite structure, and the carbon substrate has a Bragg diffraction angle 2θ of less than 26.435° and a interplanar distance d(002) of less than 3.372 Å, a gas diffusion layer employing the same, an electrode for a fuel cell, a membrane electrode assembly for a fuel cell, and a fuel cell. When the gas diffusion layer is manufactured using the carbon substrate according to the present disclosure, cell voltage characteristics of the fuel cell may be greatly improved.
摘要:
Disclosed are a carbon substrate for a gas diffusion layer of a fuel cell, a gas diffusion layer employing the same, an electrode for a fuel cell, a membrane electrode assembly for a fuel cell, and a fuel cell, wherein the carbon substrate includes a plate-shaped substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface, and the plate-shaped substrate includes carbon fibers arranged to extend in one direction (extend unidirectionally) and a carbide of an organic polymer located between the carbon fibers to bind the carbon fibers to each other. Since the carbon substrate according to the present disclosure includes carbon fibers aligned in at least one direction selected from a machine direction (MD) and a cross-machine direction (CMD) by controlling the alignment of carbon fibers, the carbon substrate has excellent mechanical strength, particularly, bending strength, even if its thickness is thin, and thus it is possible to effectively prevent the intrusion phenomenon of the gas diffusion layer into the flow path of the metal separator, and has excellent gas flow characteristics.
