Synergistic Effects of Carbon Fillers of Phenolic Resin Based Composite Bipolar Plates on the Performance of PEM Fuel Cell

The most essential and costly component of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is the bipolar plate. The production of suitable composite bipolar plates for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell with good mechanical properties and high electrical conductivity is scientifically and technically very challenging. This paper reports the development of composite bipolar plates using exfoliated graphite, carbon black, and graphite powder in resole‐typed phenol formaldehyde. The exfoliated graphite with maximum exfoliated volume of 570 ± 10 mL g⁻¹ used in this study was prepared by microwave irradiation of chemically intercalated natural flake graphite in a few minutes. The composite plates were prepared by varying exfoliated graphite content from 10 to 35 wt.% in phenolic resin along with fixed weight percentage of carbon black (5 wt.%) and graphite powder (3 wt.%) by compression molding. The composite plates with filler weight percentage of 35/5/3/exfoliated graphite/carbon black/graphite powder offer in‐plane and trough‐plane electrical conductivities of 374.42 and 97.32 S cm⁻¹, bulk density 1.58 g cm⁻³, compressive strength 70.43 MPa, flexural strength 61.82 MPa, storage modulus 10.25 GPa, microhardness 73.23 HV and water absorption 0.22%. Further, I–V characteristics notify that exfoliated graphite/carbon black/graphite powder/resin composite bipolar plates in unit fuel cell shows better cell performance compared exfoliated graphite/resin composite bipolar plates. The composite plates own desired mechanical properties with low bulk density, high electrical conductivity, and good thermal stability as per the U.S. department of energy targets at low filler concentration and can be used as bipolar plates for proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

Sintered TiO2 powder containing metallic Co binder prepared via mechanical carbonization,and its mechanical properties

A TiO₂-Co-a composite powder was prepared via carbonizing and selective oxidation processing of a Ti-Co alloy. The conventionally mixed TiO₂-Co-c composite powder and pure TiO₂ were sintered at 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400?°C, respectively. The structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction, field emission scattering electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The sintered samples were more densified, and melted bonding occurred at temperature higher than 1300?°C. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of the TiO₂-Co-a sample were higher than those of the TiO₂ and TiO₂-Co-c sintered at temperature higher than 1300?°C, while the Vickers hardness of TiO₂-Co-a was the lowest at all sintering temperatures. The sintered TiO₂-Co-a sample was more ductile and strengthened than the TiO₂-Co-c sample with added metallic Co binder via mechanical mixing. The enhanced mechanical properties of the TiO₂-Co-a sample were due to the fine dispersion of the metallic Co binder wetted with a TiO₂ matrix.     

Differences in physico-mechanical behaviors of resol(e) and novolac type phenolic resin based composite bipolar plate for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell

Composite bipolar plates for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) are prepared by compression molding technique using polymer as binder and graphite as electric filler material with some other reinforcements. Study on the effect of resole and novolac type phenolic resin on the properties of composite bipolar plate, such as bulk density, porosity, bulk conductivity, hardness, flexural strength, etc. shows that both of the resin shows different physico-mechanical properties. Moreover, single cell performance analysis also shows variation for resole and novolac based composites. A novel concept of triple continuous structure to provide graphite polymer blends with high electrical conductivity, high shore hardness, high flexural strength, less porosity and low density has been proposed and study on the effect of different types of phenolic resin on the properties and performance of bipolar plate reveals that novolac type powdered phenolic resin gives better mechanical properties than resole type phenolic resin. However, resole type phenolic resin compound has slightly higher electrical conductivity due to more number of polar -OH group presents on its cured form. But due to the less porosity and higher mechanical strength, bipolar plates with novolac type phenolic resin gives better performance in I-V analysis than bipolar plates with resole type phenolic resin.     

Performance of graphite filled composite based on benzoxazine resin

In this study, we aimed to prepare and characterize graphite filled composites based on benzoxazine resin for the bipolar plate in fuel cell. Three kinds of graphite (synthetic graphite, natural graphite, and expanded graphite) were used for the preparation of the graphite filled composites. The composites were prepared by means of the compression molding of mixtures of graphite and benzoxazine resin. The properties of the graphite filled composites based on benzoxazine resin were estimated by mechanical property, gas permeability, and electrical conductivity. As a result, it was found that graphite filled composites based on benzoxazine resin showed good gas impermeability, electrical conductivity and mechanical property compared with those of the graphite filled composites based on the conventional phenolic resin. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal conductive composites based on silver‐plating graphite nanosheet and epoxy polymer

Silver plating graphite nanosheet (Ag‐NanoG) prepared by electroless plating method with expanded graphite as starting material is an effective approach to increase thermal conductivity of the filler. Herein, a novel thermal conductive composite was prepared by using Ag‐NanoG as thermal conductive filler and epoxy resin as the polymer matrix. The microstructures of NanoG and Ag‐NanoG were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction and then the thermal conductivity, impact strength, and thermal stability of the composite were investigated. The results showed that the Ag‐NanoG was successfully obtained and it can be homogeneously dispersed in the epoxy resin. The thermal conductivity of composite increased from 0.328 to 1.847 W/m K with 4 wt% Ag‐NanoG filler content. Moreover, the composite exhibited excellent thermal stability and mechanical property.

A new equation for predicting electrical conductivity of carbon‐filled polymer composites used for bipolar plates of fuel cells

In this article, a statistical‐thermodynamic formula based on a new approach has been developed to predict electrical conductivity of carbon‐filled composites used for bipolar plate of proton exchange membrane fuel cell. In this model, based on percolation threshold phenomenon, it is assumed that the relationship between electrical conductivity of composite and filler volume fraction follows a sigmoidal equation. Afterwards, the four effective factors on composite conductivity including filler electrical conductivity, filler aspect ratio, wettability, as well as interface contact resistance are replaced upon constant parameters of sigmoidal function. In order to test the model, some single‐filler composites have been manufactured by using the phenolic resin as binder and graphite (G), expanded graphite (EG), and carbon fiber (CF) as fillers. The fitting quality is measured by R‐square, adjusted R‐square, SSE, and RMSE parameters. The results showed that there is a noteworthy agreement between the model and the experimental data. Compared to the other models, this model can be used for more types of fillers. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013     

Barrier properties of thermal and electrical conductive hydrophobic multigraphitic/epoxy coatings

Epoxy composites doped with different content of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and/or carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been manufactured. Their chemical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical behaviors have been studied, evaluating also their performance as coatings of glass fiber composite substrates. It is confirmed that the graphitic nanofillers present different efficiency as nanofillers as a function of their geometry. CNTs are much higher efficient electrical nanofillers than graphene, but an important synergetic effect is determined in the electrical conductivity of hybrid GNP/CNT/epoxy composites. In contrast, the thermal conductivity scarcely depends on the geometry of graphitic nanofillers but on the graphitic nanofiller content. Adding up to 12 wt% GNP and 1 wt% CNT, the thermal conductivity of the epoxy resin can be increased more than 300%. GNP presents high efficiency to increase the barrier properties, reducing the water absorption up to 30%. The stiffness of nanocomposites proportionally increases with graphitic addition, up to 50%, regard to the modulus of the neat epoxy resin. The adherence of coatings over glass fiber composite substrates increases by nanofiller addition due to the nanomechanical anchoring. However, the water uptake induces a higher weakening on nanodoped composites due to the preferential water absorption by the interface.

Production of thin graphite sheets for a high electrical conductivity film by the mechanical delamination of ternary graphite intercalation compounds

Herein we propose a production scheme for conductive films composed of thin graphite sheets with high crystallinity and polymeric resin. The crystalline graphite sheets were successfully produced from natural graphite powder by solution-phase synthesis of graphite intercalation compounds (GICs), following a wet planetary-ball milling under mild conditions. The shear forces in the milling pot lead to a peeling of graphite flakes. Taking into consideration the interlayer bonding force, the delamination should be preferentially done from the expanded GICs interlayer rather than intrinsic graphite one. Some composite films derived from the phenolic resin and flaky graphite sheets displayed much higher electrical conductivities compared to the film from the feed graphite particles. We also demonstrate the stage structure of synthetic GICs affected the film conductivity. The composite films made from exfoliated products of ground (around stage IV) GICs exhibited high electrical conductivity with a small amount of the graphite sheets.     

Improvement of interfacial shear strengths of polybenzobisoxazole fiber/epoxy resin composite by n‐TiO2 coating

Smooth polybenzobisoxazole (PBO) fiber has limited interfacial interaction with resin matrix. In this article, nano‐TiO₂ coating on PBO fiber is applied to improve the interfacial adhesion between PBO fiber and epoxy resin. The test results suggest that the PBO fiber had good interaction with epoxy resin matrix after its treatment with n‐TiO₂ sol. Nano TiO₂ particle embedded onto PBO fiber surface, acting as a chock, which made fiber implanted into the resin better. This greatly improved the shear strengths (IFSS) of PBO fiber/epoxy resin composite. It has been found that a 56% increase in interfacial IFSS has achieved without sacrificing mechanical properties of fiber. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013     

Opacifier embedded and fiber reinforced alumina-based aerogel composites for ultra-high temperature thermal insulation

A novel method was developed to uniformly disperse sub-micron TiO₂ opacifier into fiber reinforcements using agar and silica as binders via freeze drying. TiO₂ opacifier/ fiber/ alumina-based aerogel ternary (TFA) composites with high strength and excellent high-temperature thermal insulation were successfully prepared by sol-gel route, impregnation process and supercritical fluid drying. The microstructure, mechanical and thermal insulation properties of TFA composites were investigated comprehensively. The results show that the mechanical property of TFA composites can be significantly enhanced by mullite fiber felt and the incorporation of SiO₂ binder. The effect of TiO₂ opacifier on the high-temperature thermal conductivity was studied by adjusting the content of TiO₂ from 0 to 15 wt%. The obtained TFA composites exhibit high Young's modulus of up to 3.58 MPa and low high-temperature thermal conductivities of 0.129 W/m·K at 800 °C and 0.168 W/m·K at 1000 °C, respectively. The mechanism of heat transfer in TFA composites at high-temperature was also analyzed.     

Powder injection molding of complex-shaped aluminium nitride ceramic with high thermal conductivity

Aluminum nitride (AlN) is a promising material for heat sinks and microelectronic applications because of the advantages of high theoretical thermal conductivity, high mechanical strength, good electrical insulation, low dielectric constant and low thermal expansion coefficient. However, the difficulties in shaping complex-shaped parts with a high thermal conductivity have retarded the wide applications of AlN ceramic. Herein, we design a new binder system containing resin components and adopt the powder injection molding technology to fabricate complex-shaped AlN parts. After the debinding process, the special binder system would produce residual carbon, which could react with Al₂O₃ and result in decreasing oxygen impurity and forming the yttrium-rich aluminates. The yttrium-rich aluminates can accelerate the densification of AlN ceramic and fasten the oxygen on the triangular grain boundary, leaving the clean grain boundary beneficial for high thermal conductivity. The as-prepared AlN parts with complex shape possess a high thermal conductivity of 248 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹.     

Carbon‐Polymer Composite Bipolar Plate for HT‐PEMFC

Graphene reinforced carbon‐polymer composite bipolar plate is developed using resole phenol formaldehyde resin, and conductive reinforcements (natural graphite, carbon black, and carbon fiber) using compression molding technique. Graphene is reinforced into the composite to alter various properties of the composite bipolar plate. The developed composite bipolar plate is characterized and the effect of temperature on mechanical and electrical properties is investigated with an overall aim to achieve benchmark given by US‐DOE and Plug Power Inc. The flexural strength and electrical conductivity of the composites was almost stable with the increase in temperature upto 175 °C. The composite bipolar plate maintained high in‐plane and through‐plane electrical conductivities, which is about 409.23 and 98 S cm^–1, respectively, at 175 °C. The flexural strength and shore hardness of the developed composite was around 56.42 MPa and 60, respectively, at 175 °C, and on further increase in the temperature the mechanical strengths deceases sharply. The electrical and mechanical properties of the composite bipolar plates are within the US‐DoE target. However, the various properties of the composite bipolar plate could not be sustained above 175 °C.

Cosmetic properties of TiO2/mica-BN composite powder prepared by spray drying

In the present study, the spray drying process was used to prepare spherical composite powders from TiO₂/mica and h-BN powders. The starting and the as-prepared powders were examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, particle size analyzer, spectrophotometer, and oil absorption analysis. Particle size distribution, crystalline phases, whiteness, and oil absorption ability were analyzed in order to determine powder morphology. These powders were then mixed into linseed oil to prepare an emulsion for sunscreen protection application. The resultant emulsions were examined using UV–visible–near infra-red (NIR) spectroscopy, sun protection factor tester, and thermal conductivity tester. The experimental results show that spherical composite powder prepared by spray drying not only possess good oil and NIR absorption ability, but also thermal conductivity. The emulsion prepared by spray dried powder exhibits superior sunscreen protection performance compared to its starting counterparts.
