    摘要: A device comprising a membrane electrode assembly, porous diffusion media, and at least one pair of bipolar plate assemblies is provided. The membrane electrode assembly is interposed between a pair of diffusion media substrates, the bipolar plate assembly comprises at least one flow field passage, and the bipolar plate assembly engages the diffusion media substrate. The diffusion media substrate comprises a fibrous matrix defining opposing first and second major faces. The substrate comprises an amount of carbonaceous material sufficient to render the substrate electrically conductive. An anion exchange resin layer engages at least a portion of at least one of the first and second major faces of the diffusion media substrate and/or the flow field passage. The anion exchange resin is configured to eliminate anions through exchange with hydroxyl groups or formation of quaternary ammonium salts.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an electrically conductive element (e.g. bipolar plate) for a fuel cell which has an improved adhesive bond. The conductive element generally comprises a first and a second conductive sheet, each having a surface that confront one another. The surfaces that confront one another are overlaid with an electrically conductive primer coating providing corrosion protection and low contact resistance to said first and said second sheets respectively in regions where the first and second sheets contact one another. The first and said second coated surfaces are joined to one another by an electrically conductive adhesive which provides adhesion of said first and said second coated surfaces of said sheets at the contact region. Further, the present invention contemplates methods to form such an improved bond in an electrically conductive element.

    摘要: Corrosion resistant, manganese-stabilized austenitic stainless steels with a low nickel content are used in bipolar plates, methods for fabricating the bipolar plates, and polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells comprising the bipolar plates. The bipolar plates are formed from high-manganese austenitic stainless steels comprising, in weight percents, 4.0 to 35 manganese, 0.5 to 1.5 nickel, 17 to 20 chromium, 0.2 to 0.5 nitrogen, up to 0.075 carbon, 0.5 to 1.0 silicon, up to 0.1 aluminum, 0 to 0.005 sulfur, and balance iron and incidental impurities. The steels exhibit suitable corrosion resistance, electrical contact resistance, and mechanical properties for high-corrosion applications such as use in bipolar plate materials for PEM fuel cells. The bipolar plates may comprise a solid plate of the steel, optionally coated with a highly electrically conductive material. Alternatively, the bipolar plates may comprise an economical substrate coated with the steel, optionally further coated with a highly electrically conductive material.
