Abstract

The most costly and problematic components of fuel cell stacks may be bipolar plates. Besides meeting cost constraints, bipolar plates must possess a host of other properties including low gas permeability, corrosion resistance, low weight, high strength, and manufacturability. While we have developed a baseline composite material that meets these requirements, further optimization and development have resulted in significant improvements in properties and processability.
