The Fe–Ni–Cr alloy is a potential material as bipolar plate for PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell), and the stamped metallic bipolar plate is a promising candidate instead of traditional graphite due to the advantages of mass production, low cost and excellent performance. The...

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a potential alternative for the internal combustion engine. But many problems, such as metallic bipolar plate instead of graphite bipolar plate to decrease the cost, should be solved before its application. Based on the previous results that single...

Stainless steel 304 (SS304) is a potential material as the bipolar plate for PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell). However, its interfacial contact resistance is too high and the corrosion resistance is too low to survive in the hostile environment. A novel approach of preparing the...

The bipolar plate is an important component of the PEMFC (polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell) because it supplies the pathway of electron flow between each unit cell. Fe–Ni–Cr alloy is considered as a good candidate material for bipolar plate, but it is limited to use as a bipolar plate...
