“…Unprotected titanium, however, may easily passivate by formation of an electrically insulating oxide layer and the titanium surface must therefore be coated or modified to obtain a protective layer which at the same time allow easy passage of electrons. Protection of titanium in SPE r cells has become an increasingly important area of research [88].…”

“…A surfacetreated Ti showed almost identical low ICR compared with graphite with no degradation in a ca. 8000 h durability test [80]. Au-plated, Pt-coated, InO 2 -sintered and other surfacemodified Ti-based bipolar plates have been developed [79,[81][82][83].…”

A bipolar plate is one of the most important components in a polymer exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack and has multiple functions. Metallic bipolar plate candidates have advantages over composite rivals in excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, good mechanical strength, high chemical stability, very wide alloy choices, low cost and, most importantly, existing pathways for high‐volume, high‐speed mass production. The challenges with metallic bipolar plates are the higher contact resistance and possible corrosion products, which may contaminate the membrane electrode assembly. This review evaluates the candidate metallic and coating materials for bipolar plates and gives the perspective of the research trends.

“…Austenitic steels are usually passivated in the PEM cells working environment [11,12]. The significant influence of the chemical composition of stainless steel has also been discussed in papers [13][14][15]. Table 1 shows the properties of steel 316L on the basis of literature.…”

The use of a graphite-stainless steel composite as bipolar plates (BP) in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) has been evaluated. The study covers measurements of mechanical properties, microstructural examination, analysis of surface profile, wettability, porosity and corrosion resistance of the composite. The corrosion properties of the composite were examined in 0.1 mol·dm −3 H 2 SO 4 + 2 ppm F − saturated with H 2 or with O 2 and in solutions with different pH: in Na 2 SO 4 + 2 ppm F − (pH = 1.00, 3.00, 5.00) at 80°C. The performed tests indicate that the graphite modified with stainless steel can be a good choice to be used as a bipolar plate in PEM fuel cells.
