Bipolar PEM fuel cell plates based on aluminum and stainless steel coated by physical and chemical processes
Goals
Development of protective coatings for PEM fuel cell bipolar plates in aluminum and stainless steel, using various processes (physical and chemical).
Innovations
The approach is based both on the replacement of the substrate (from stainless steel to aluminum) and on the development of coatings, based on amorphous carbon doped with various elements. Two types of process (wet coating and plasma) will be developed, and could bring a cost breakthrough in the manufacture of stacks.
