Abstract

Abstract: Polymer electrolyte membrane(PEM) fuel cell main uses a bipolar plate (BPP), made of stainless steel that provides cell to cell electrical conductivity. Since water vapour is the only by-product during the energy conversion, corrosion resistance of the bipolar plate is required to be high. Researchers have used many different strategies which mostly includes coating with a hydrophobic material. This paper reviews and compares some commonly used corrosion resistance coating methods that have been used and gauges their success in the performance of the fuel cells.
