...Odne S. Burheim; Jon G. Pharoah; Hannah Lampert; Preben J. S. Vie; Signe Kjelstrup We report the through-plane thermal conductivities of the several widely used carbon porous transport layers (PTLs) and their thermal contact resistance to an aluminum polarization plate. We report these values both...

...Shuo-Jen Lee; Ching-Han Huang; Yu-Pang Chen; Yen-Ming Chen In this paper, a chemical treatment method was developed to process the aluminum bipolar plates of proton electrolyte membrane fuel cells. During the surface treatment process, the chemical in the aluminum reacts with the electrolyte...

...Shuo-Jen Lee; Ching-Han Huang; Yu-Pang Chen; Chen-Te Hsu Aluminum was considered a good candidate material for bipolar plates of the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells due to its low cost, light weight, high strength and good manufacturability. But there were problems of both chemical...

...Fang-Bor Weng; Ay Su; Yur-Tsai Lin; Guo-Bin Jung; Yen-Ming Chen A simple, low-cost testing method is proposed for fuel cell hardware development. A perforated aluminum foil with an array of small holes covered with carbon paper or cloth replaces the membrane electrode assemblies to test the contact...
