The bipolar plate is a critical component in fuel cells, serving three key roles:
Electrical Conduction – Connects cells in series to form a stack while conducting current.
Gas Distribution – Delivers hydrogen (anode) and oxygen (cathode) via flow channels to catalyst layers.
Heat & Water Management – Helps dissipate heat and removes water byproduct to prevent flooding.
Made of graphite, metal, or composite materials, bipolar plates for pem fuel cells must carefully balance high electrical conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, and lightweight structural design to ensure optimal performance and long-term system stability.
