•Integrated materials and cost analysis for carbon–polymer-composite bipolar plates.•Investigation of forming methods considering electrochemical conductivity of product.•Production cost model for compression and injection molded plates.•Cost prospects based on sensitivity analysis of production parameters.
Carbon–polymer-composite bipolar plates (BPP) are suitable for fuel cell and flow battery applications. The advantages of both components are combined in a product with high electrical conductivity and good processability in convenient polymer forming processes. In a comprehensive techno-economic analysis of materials and production processes cost factors are quantified. For the first time a technical cost model for BPP is set up with tight integration of material characterization measurements.
