摘要:
The present invention provides a separator for a fuel cell that comprises a metal substrate that contains at least one metal element M and a surface layer formed on a surface of the metal substrate and that contains at least one conductive oxide represented by LaMxO3 (wherein x=0 to 1). Also, the present invention provides a method for anti-corrosion treatment of a metallic separator for a fuel cell. The method involves first forming an La layer on a surface of a metal substrate having a desired dimension and a desired flow field formed therein. Next, the metal substrate having the La layer on its surface is heated such that at least one metal component contained in the metal substrate is diffused into the La layer and an La component in the La layer is diffused into the metal substrate to form a mixed layer composed of La and the at least one metal component on the surface of the metal substrate. Finally, the mixed layer is heated under an oxidizing atmosphere to form a layer composed of oxides containing La and the at least one metal component on the surface of the metal substrate.

摘要:
An electrode for fuel cells including a catalyst layer containing a benzoxazine monomer, a catalyst and a binder, and a fuel cell employing the electrode. The electrode for the fuel cells contains an even distribution of benzoxazine monomer, which is a hydrophilic (or phosphoric acidophilic) material and dissolves in phosphoric acid but does not poison catalysts, thereby improving the wetting capability of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) within the electrodes and thus allowing phosphoric acid to permeate first into micropores in electrodes. As a result, flooding is efficiently prevented. That is, liquid phosphoric acid existing in large amount within the electrodes inhibits gas diffusion which; this flooding occurs when phosphoric acid permeates into macropores in the electrodes. This prevention of flooding increases the three-phase interfacial area of gas (fuel gas or oxidized gas)-liquid (phosphoric acid)-solid (catalyst). Therefore, the fuel cell employing the electrode can operate under conditions of high-temperature and a dry environment and demonstrate improved cell performance.

A membrane electrode assembly for a fuel cell and a fuel cell employing the same. The membrane electrode assembly includes: a cathode; an anode; and a polymer electrolyte membrane that is interposed between the cathode and the anode, and comprises a proton conductive polymer that is doped with acid to a doping level of less than 200 mole %. The membrane electrode assembly for the fuel cell exhibits an improved efficiency of performance when acid is doped in the polymer electrolyte membrane at a doping level of less than 200 mole. In addition, the performance of the fuel cell can be optimized by separately adjusting the amount of acid doped in the cathode and anode. The fuel cell employing the membrane electrode assembly can be operated at a high temperature in a dry environment and exhibits an improved power generating performance.

A metallic separator for a fuel cell including 2.2 to 6.0 parts by weight of tungsten based on 100 parts by weight of stainless steel containing molybdenum, and the weight ratio of molybdenum to tungsten (Mo/W) is 0.15 to 1.60. The separator for fuel cells has excellent anti-corrosive properties and contact resistance as low as that of a metal material, and thus, a fuel cell having high efficiency can be manufactured at a reasonable cost using the separator.
