Low-temperature fuel cells have historically used CNC-machined graphite as bipolar plates. Graphite’s high-cost, high-permeability, and precise machin... Read more

Most people wouldn’t think that much thought needs to be put into fuel cell components such as fuel cell gaskets, spacers, and end plates, however, ev... Read more

The fuel cells that operate at higher temperatures require different materials. Fuel cell stacks that operate at high temperatures are SOFCs, MCFCs, a... Read more

After you understand the basic concepts around designing, building, and testing fuel cells, the next step is optimization. Optimization often involves... Read more

Creating high-efficiency fuel cells requires proper temperature control, and heat management to ensure that the fuel cell system runs consistently. De... Read more

If you work with fuel cells, then you are definitely working with polarization curves. The polarization curve does not have a lot of specificity; howe... Read more

Different characterization techniques enable the quantitative comparison of every property and part of the fuel cell stack. By characterizing the fuel... Read more

Fuel cell operating conditions depend upon the cell and stack design. The operating parameters that affect fuel cell performance are: Operating Pressu... Read more

The design elements of a micro or MEMs (Micro Electro Mechanical System) fuel cell stack are the same as a larger fuel cell stack, except that there s... Read more
