    摘要: A method for recovering ruthenium oxide or gold and titanium or titanium oxide from a bipolar plate at the end of the life of a fuel cell stack so as to use these materials in other fuel cell stacks thereafter. The bipolar plate is immersed in a solution including a suitable acid that dissolves the titanium or titanium oxide. The ruthenium oxide or gold will be released from the plate and will float on the solution from which it can be removed. The solution is then heated to evaporate the acid solution leaving a powder of the titanium oxide. The stainless steel of the bipolar plate is thus cleaned of the titanium or titanium oxide, and can be reused.

    摘要: A bipolar plate assembly for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack advantageously connects electrically conductive plate surfaces, without the requirement to weld or braze the plate pairs. Each plate has alternating coolant channels and lands formed on an inside facing surface. An electrically conductive layer is deposited over at least the coolant channels and lands. Pairs of plates are aligned having facing electrically conductive layers. A fluid seal is disposed between the inside facing surfaces about a perimeter of the coolant channels. Each plate pair is compressed to form a plurality of electrical bond lines between adjacent lands within the perimeter seal. The perimeter seal prevents stack reactant gas oxygen from contacting and oxidizing the electrically conductive layer. A dielectric coolant is also used to reduce oxidation of the electrically conductive layer.
