Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a fuel cell separator which can achieve a stable power generation over a prolonged period of time and a method of producing the fuel cell separator. The fuel cell separator has a recess for gas flow path whose surface is roughened in such a manner that the arithmetic mean roughness Ra is 0.5 to 10 μm, and the recess for gas flow path is brought into contact with a fluorine-containing gas or a gas containing both fluorine and oxygen. The thus obtained fuel cell separator can retain a uniform liquid film formed on the surface thereof for at least 10 seconds when a test piece prepared from the fuel cell separator is immersed in water for 30 seconds and pulled out therefrom to a position at not less than 1 cm from the water surface within 1 second.
Abstract:
A carbon member for use as a battery member of a redox flow battery or a fuel cell, obtained by welding, into a single integrated body: a first layer including a first resin composition containing a polyolefin-based resin and having a melt flow rate of 0.01 to 10 g/10 min, and a first carbonaceous material; a second layer including a second resin composition containing a polyolefin-based resin, having a melt flow rate of 5 to 1,000 g/10 min that is greater than that of the first resin composition, and having a melting point that is 80° C. or higher, but is at least 10° C. lower than that of the first resin composition, and a second carbonaceous material; and a third layer, which is disposed facing the first layer with the second layer interposed therebetween, and is formed from a porous carbon material having a specified bulk density.
