摘要： The present invention provides for a construction for a bipolar plate for a fuel cell stack that enables the bipolar plate to be a more compliant member in the fuel cell stack. The bipolar plate can be configured to provide varying levels of compliance, as demanded by the design of the fuel cell stack. The bipolar plate can be more compliant than the diffusion media members and the active elements used to form the individual fuel cells. The compliant nature of the individual bipolar plates enables localized dimensional changes that occur within the fuel cell stack to be compensated by a localized deformation of the portions of the bipolar plate within that region. The bipolar plate has an internal coolant flow field where some opposing pairs of lands are spaced apart with a gap therebetween while other opposing pairs of lands are in contact with one another.

摘要： A multi-layer diffusion medium substrate having improved mechanical properties is disclosed. The diffusion medium substrate includes at least one stiff layer and at least one compressible layer. The at least one stiff layer has a greater stiffness in the x-y direction as compared to the at least one compressible layer. The at least one compressible layer has a greater compressibility in the z direction. A method of fabricating a multi-layer diffusion medium substrate is also disclosed.

摘要： A diffusion media for use in a PEM fuel cell which includes a relieved edge region relative to the interior region of the diffusion media. The outer perimeter or portion of the diffusion media that will interface with a sealing gasket is pre-compressed. The pre-compressed diffusion media lowers the compression stress on the MEA at the gasket interfaces, enabling a more uniform compression on the entirety of the MEA surfaces during the build, compression, and later operation of a fuel cell stack.
