Choosing the Right Bipolar Plate Material for Your Fuel Cell

Leave a Comment / Fuel Cell / By David R. Whitman

Bipolar plates are flat components within fuel cells that generate electricity. They may be found in hydrogen vehicles, back-up power generation units, and industrial solutions. Certain materials may be long-lasting but very expensive. Metal plates have great conductivity, graphite plates have typically better resistance to chemicals, and composite materials seem to sort of do both. […]
