    摘要: Disclosed is a separator for a fuel cell made of a metal plate coated with TiN, a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell comprising the separator and a method for manufacturing the separator. According to the invention, the separator can be made to be thin and it is possible to increase the power density, compared to the prior separator made of graphite. At the same time, a proper level of physical strength can be maintained, so that there is no problem of a breakdown by an external shock. In addition, the flow field can be easily formed and the cost is low. Additionally, the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell comprising the separator using a metal plate coated with TiN according to the invention has no problem of corrosion of metal separator due to the electrolyte, compared to the prior metal separator, so that the durability is excellent and the lifetime is long. In addition, when a mass-production system is established, the flow fields are provided by stamping a thin metal plate instead of forming the flow fields on the stainless steel plate, and then the two plates are brazed and coated with TiN, so that the weight of the stack is decreased.
