Abstract

A new method to reduce the contact resistance between metal current collector and graphite plate for PEMFC has been proposed.It was found that the contact resistance between the stainless steel current collector and graphite plate after embedding a metal net-carbon polymer composition is effective by to eliminate,Fuel cell testing has presented that this new method can effectively reduce the internal resistance of PEMFC,and improve the performance of the PEM fuel cell.

Keywords
