Compound material for injection molded PEM fuel cell bipolar plates

PEMFC bipolar plates must be low-cost, easily fabricated, light, strong, mechanically stable, and have a low surface contact resistance. Therefore, this study fabricates bipolar plates using a composite material comprising Nylon-6 and S316L stainless steel alloy

The results indicated that the optimum operation conditions for the metallic bipolar plates and graphite bipolar plates were totally different. For the metallic bipolar plates, the hydrogen and oxygen fuel must be fully humidified, while the current density and power density of the fuel cell were better under a lower operation temperature.
