Abstract
In this work, a carbon felt composite bipolar plate is developed for a high-temperature PEMFC (HT-PEMFC) using randomly oriented non-woven carbon felt and a cyanate ester-modified epoxy. The cathode and anode are integrated into a single bipolar plate to reduce the thickness and weight of the HT-PEMFC stack. The developed composite bipolar plate exhibits superior electrical properties because of the bare carbon fibers exposed on the surface by the soft layer method. In addition, the bipolar plates are dimensionally stable under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. Finally, a cell test is performed on a 3-cell HT-PEMFC stack to investigate the cell performance.
