6 FAQs about [Design basis of energy storage end plate]

What is end plate in a fuel cell?

End plate is one of the main components of the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The major role of the end plate is providing uniform pressure distribution between various components of the fuel cell (bipolar plates, etc.) and consequently reducing contact resistance between them.

What is a bipolar/end plate?

Bipolar/end plate is one of the most important and costliest components of the fuel cell stack and accounts to more than 80% of the total weight of the stack. In the present work, we focus on the development of alternative materials and design concepts for these plates.

How does the shape of endplate affect the stack assembly pressure?

Results of analysis indicate that the shape of endplate affects the stack assembly pressure and contact behavior of PEM fuel cells. Proper shape of endplate can generate more uniform deformation of GDLs and avoid the leakage of fuels.

Does the thickness of the endplate affect the deformation of fuel cells?

Asghari et al. use the finite element method to analyze the influence of the thickness of the endplate on the deformation of the bipolar plates of the fuel cell stack. In this model, the optimal thickness is 35 mm, and the internal resistance of a fuel cell stack with 5 kW is tested under different clamping torques.

What is end plate in PEMFC?

End plate is one of the main fuel cell components which has some important roles in a PEMFC stack such as unitizing various components (membrane-electrode assembly (MEA), gas diffusion layer (GDL), bipolar plate, etc.) to be a stack, providing passages for reactant gases and coolant fluid and ensuring good sealing at various interfaces ( Fig. 1 a).

Can SS-316 bipolar/end plate be used as a fuel cell stack?

A prototype one-cell polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack made out of SS-316 bipolar/end plate was fabricated and assembled. The use of porous material in the gas flow-field of bipolar/end plates was proposed, and the performance of these was compared to the conventional channel type of design.
