In a hydrogen fuel cell, the graphite bipolar plate is a crucial component within the fuel cell stack. It performs several vital functions: conducting electrons between adjacent cells, distributing hydrogen fuel and air (or oxygen) to the electrodes through flow channels etched into its surface, and separating the individual cells to prevent gas crossover. Graphite, often in composite form, is chosen for its good electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance in the fuel cell environment, and relatively low cost.

The hydrogen fuel cell bipolar plate industry is undergoing significant development driven by the increasing interest in hydrogen as a clean energy carrier. Several key trends are shaping the industry:

Shift towards non-graphite materials: While graphite has been the traditional material, there's a growing exploration of alternative materials like metallic bipolar plates (stainless steel, titanium) and composite materials. These materials offer potential advantages in terms of higher power density, thinner profiles, and potentially lower manufacturing costs in large volumes, although challenges like corrosion resistance and cost-effective production remain.

Advanced flow field designs: Innovative flow field designs are being developed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and advanced manufacturing techniques. These designs aim to optimize gas distribution, improve water management within the fuel cell (preventing flooding or drying), and enhance overall performance and efficiency. Serpentine, parallel, and interdigitated flow fields are all being researched and optimized.

Cost reduction through mass production: As the fuel cell industry scales up, cost reduction is a major focus. This involves developing high-volume manufacturing processes for bipolar plates, such as stamping, molding, and roll-to-roll processing for metallic and composite plates. This also includes optimizing material usage and streamlining supply chains.

Focus on durability and corrosion resistance: Improving the durability and corrosion resistance of bipolar plates, especially in harsh fuel cell operating conditions, is crucial for long-term reliability. This involves surface treatments, coatings, and careful material selection. For metallic bipolar plates, corrosion is a significant concern, so protective coatings are essential.
