Abstract:The fuel cell is considered to be a promising alternative energy source for the near future. A bipolar plate, which is the major component of the fuel cell, is always exposed to the moisture during operation, because one of the important functions of the bipolar plate is to facilitate water management within the cell. In order to use graphite composite materials as bipolar plate material for PEMFC, the effect of the moisture environment on the mechanical properties of bipolar plate is studied. Two types of spe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
