PVD Coatings for Lightweight Bipolar Plates

Bipolar plates are one of the main components of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Their functions include distributing reactants, supporting the cell, and conducting heat and electricity. They account for a significant proportion of the fuel cell stack’s weight and volume. The main mate...
