The bipolar plate is one of the key components of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell, and has the main functions of transmitting gas fuel, uniformly distributing hydrogen fuel and oxidant in the cell, collecting and transmitting electrons, and discharging water generated by reaction through an upper flow passage. The flow field structure of the bipolar plate is complex and various, the flow field design is crucial to the performance of the fuel cell, and the structure of the bipolar plate determines the gas transmission efficiency, the local current distribution density, the water heat management capacity and the like. If the mass transfer is not uniform, the local current density distribution of the battery is poor; if the product water is not removed in time, a "flooding phenomenon" occurs inside the battery, causing local overheating, both of which reduce the output performance of the battery and shorten the life of the battery. At present, the problems are mainly solved by developing and designing a novel high-performance flow field, optimizing the flow field structure of the existing bipolar plate, processing the surface material of a flow field channel and applying a novel polar plate material. From different angles, the service life of the battery is prolonged, and the performance of the battery is improved.

The bronchus system structure inside the lung has a multi-stage branch structure, namely, the main bronchus is divided into two-stage lung lobe bronchus after entering the lung, and is divided into three-stage lung segment bronchus after entering the lung lobe, a tree-shaped branch structure formed when the bronchus is reached can reach 23-25 stages, and oxygen and carbon dioxide generated by respiration enter and are discharged through the multi-stage branch structure when gas exchange is carried out. Meanwhile, the asymmetric bifurcation structure of the pulmonary trachea tree can effectively fill lungs with irregular volumes and intelligently regulate and control gas mass transfer.
