      Cost reduction in bipolar plates in proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers has previously been attempted by substituting bulk titanium with austenitic stainless steels protected with highly conductive and corrosion-resistant ...
    • Issues regarding bipolar plate-gas diffusion layer interfacial contact resistance determination 

      Lædre, Sigrid; Craciunescu, Corneliu M.; Khoza, Thulile; Vaszilcsin, Nicolae; Kellenberger, Andrea; Bolocan, Vlad; Mitelea, Ion; Ercuta, Aurel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The interfacial contact resistance (ICRBPP-GDL) between the bipolar plates (BPPs) and gas diffusion layers (GDLs) plays a major role in proton exchange membrane-fuel cells (PEMFCs) efficiency. Accordingly, materials selection ...
